Tnt: The Power Within You

This book made available by the Internet Archive. TNT The Power Within You "THAT SOMETHING" WITHIN CALLED TNT For those of you who seek to learn and make progress, I gently lay this message in your laps. I do so without the slightest fear but that it will turn your world entirely upside down—bringing you health, wealth, success and happiness, provided you understand and accept it. Remember, T N T is a dangerously high explosive; so when you gather it closely, handle it carefully. Down through the centuries its power has destroyed those w r ho sought to misuse it. Therefore exercise great caution that it is used only for good. This power can be proved by the teachings of the Bible, certain wellestablished laws of physics, and, last but not least, just plain common sense. Read and determine for yourself whether or not the proofs I offer stand by themselves. Some of you may see only the spiritual side, others recognize the scientific truths, and still others may accept 11 TNT—THE POWER WITHIN YOU it as just a practical operating device to put you on the road to success. No matter: many know the truth, and for you who will open your minds the light will pour in with dazzling white brilliancy. I'm indebted to an old friend of mine, an expert on X-ray and electrical high frequency apparatus, who, when I was a boy experimenting with electricity, called to my attention the first bit of powerful T N T in my pocket. Then I didn't know what it was and didn't understand, but fortunately it has remained there all through the years. As I look back, I realize why he didn't force me to understand what it was. He believed in me, and knew that when I was ready to accept it, I would. It's taken nearly thirty years, during which time I sought up and down the highways, looking, seeking and searching for "that something"-the secret—TNT. All the time there was some in my pocket, mine for the mere reaching. However, I've got a firm grip on it now, and I will divide it graciously, knowing that if used wisely it will blow away all obstacles and straighten out the road on which you've been wanting to travel all your life. Why are you blocked? For many years I was a newspaper man, frequently behind the scenes. I met great men and women, interviewed famous people. Naturally, I studied them and tried to understand what peculiar qualities they possessed that placed them above the others. But their secret evaded me. Then came the First World War and I wondered "that something" within why others made progress while I seemed to be blocked in my own ambitions. The war did teach me, however, that I could sleep in the mud, eat moldy bread and live to laugh about it. This is part of my T N T, so remember what I learned. It helped me to give Old Man Fear a solar-plexus blow, and I believe it will help you. Hoping to find a royal road to fortune, I read hundreds of the so-called "success" books, but they took me nowhere. I did the same with books on philosophy, psychology, and still the great secret kept just a jump ahead of me. I joined secret fraternal organizations, hoping that I might find that which I sought. However, just like the bit of TNT in my pocket, the secret was in every book, in the great orders, everywhere, in fact, right under my very nose, but something kept me from it. You will have to determine for yourself what keeps you from it if you don't get it from TNT. It's there. If you don't find it in the printed word, look between the lines—as I've done my best to present it to you. Are you afraid? Following the war, I became a member of a coast-wide investment banking organization, and during the years I cherished quite a dream— as did thousands of others in all lines of business—only to discover that the air castles which I built were on an unstable foundation. That cataclysmic happening which turned the world upside down financially obliterated my ai
