Our dynamic individual places himself in a receptive attitude only toward the great Universal Will, and in a positive attitude toward all else. In this way he really becomes a most active center of Power, which becomes manifest to all with whom he comes in contact. He may not realize just what he is doing, and may know nothing of the truth herein stated, but, still he feels that he is "in touch with something" that aids and assists him and which gives him strength and dynamic force. He may talk about his "luck," or his "lucky star," or he may secretly believe himself specially favored by Providence (this is a secret belief of the majority of successful men) - but the fact remains that every positive and successful man feels, underneath it all, that be has something back of him. And this belief takes form in action and causes him to manifest that "air" of calm, positive power and self-confidence noticeable in such men in every instance.

Yon will readily see, from what has been said, that the "Personal Atmospheres" of persons depend upon the character of their mental states, and are the result of the mental currents emanating from them.

Every person has his or her own mentative aura, or body of radiant mentative energy, which flows from them in all directions. These mentative atmosphere affect the people with whom one comes in contact. You know people who seem to carry with them an atmosphere of "feeling" which affects a roomful of people, or even a building. This atmosphere may be positive or negative in its effect - that is, stimulating or depressing. All of these things arise in the way which I have mentioned. It is related of Rachel, the great French actress, that although she was not beautiful in form or face, still she had that indescribable charm of personality about her that caused every one to consider her a beautiful woman, so great was her fascinating charm.

That which so many call "Personal Magnetism,' as distinguished from Personal Force, consists of this mentative atmosphere, or radiant mentative en-ergy, which induces in all within its field a feeling of similar emotion or vibration. The charm of the "fascinating person" is accounted for in the same way. It is all a matter of the mentative current inducing feeling in others. The power called "Fascination," which has been known in all times and countries, arises from the same cause. It operates by the strong mentative currents pouring from one's mind, and inducing mental states in others.

The mentative force emanating from each individual creates a mental atmosphere around him which often extends a considerable distance from his body, especially in the ease of strong individuals, whose mental atmosphere is felt when they enter a room or public place. Persons whose personality is weaker have a mental atmosphere extending only a few inches from their bodies, and which is scarcely perceptible to those coming in contact with them.

The man who feels himself to be a dynamic individual carries with him an aura of mental atmosphere of positive strength, which is plainly felt by those coming in contact with him. People say about such a man that he " has something about him" which impresses them, but which they fail to understand. It will be worth your while to study this mental atmosphere of some strong man with whom you come jn contact, for now that you have the secret of the matter you may take some valuable lessons from him.

I cannot very well describe this "air" to you, for unless you have met a man of this kind you will not understand it. But it is a very different thing from the pompous, self-sufficient, self-important, fussy air and demeanor manifested by the cheap imitators of these great men. The dynamic individual does not tell you how great, or smart, or important he is - he leaves that for his cheap imitators; he makes you feel his strength by his very manner and atmosphere, without saying a word. He has that "something about him" that people notice and wonder at. And that "something" comes from his conscious or unconscious relation to the Universal Will.

The "little fellow" who thinks he is one of the "big ones" believes that his strength comes from his personality, and sooner or later he stumbles because of this error. But the real "big ones" of life know-better; they may not understand it all, but some way they feel that there is a "something" back of them from which they are able to draw strength and power, and believing this, they are filled with courage and daring and radiate their power on all sides. They may talk of their "lucky star" or "special providence," or else believe themselves to be "specially favored of God" (as is the case with at least one of the "bigmen" of modern finance), but no matter what may be their special interpretations of this "something," they all recognize its existence and trust to it. And this conviction and realization gives to the strong individuals that air of calm, positive power and self-confidence that impresses those with whom they come in contact and which forms their mental atmosphere.

And in giving you instructions in the art of building for yourselves a positive mental atmosphere I can do no better than to refer you back to first principles and again bid you to realize that you are a dynamic focus - a centre of power - in the great Universal Will, having the dual attribute of Will-Power and Desire-Force. In short, that you are a living dy-namo.

If you will bat get this realization firmly fixed in your mind you will automatically create for yourself a most positive mental atmosphere that will be felt by all with whom you come in contact. So first, last and all the time build up this realization. Say to yourself, "I am Dynamic!" - then think it out; dream it out; act it out. And, of course, always realize what all this means. You are the channel through which is pouring the Universal Will-Power and in the degree that you allow the current to so flow through you, so will be the power you are able to manifest.
