a -LIFE- 1905 Baa Baa Now Acknowledged Supreme! If you would be monarch of your own soul, which includes universe and all tatvic harmonies, don't wait, but take advantage of greatest psychic opportunity ever offered. You give up nothing; you add to all habits and grow spiritual. At you monarch of all you survey? Do you carry the universe in your own soul, and do the remotest tatvic harmonies respond to your slightest: impulse? Yesterday was gala day in our Vibration Parlors Swami Baa Baa was acknowledged by all to be supreme. Disciples of New Thought from all over the country— from Pasadena and Peoria, from Bayou Sara and nether- most Wisconsin—all came to render him hom “We are all amateurs.” acknowledged H« Kisselming, author of “Astral Eestasies,” whose vibrant io Splicer hook has changed the life current of many a discordant spirit. “Mere I have been living like a Siberian monk, just because I supposed that all power could come only to him who denied himself the few physical comforts that have hitherto heen common to hoi polloi. Now 1 make a practise of smoking thirty cigars a day, and T never go into the silence without taking a quart of champagne. Great is Swami Baa Baa!” A prominent Christian Scientist said “All is still mind, of course. Have a cigarette?
