📝 Description: Instantaneous Personal Magnetism: Combining an Absolutely New Method with the Best Established Teachings of the Past

Originally published in 1926, Instantaneous Personal Magnetism combines a new personal method with established historical teachings. Edmund Shaftesbury approaches his material through the crossover of mind, body, and spirit, alongside healing and the physical properties of electricity and magnetism. Published in paperback by Literary Licensing, LLC, this four-hundred-page volume collects historical insights and scientific concepts to examine how personal influence operates. Shaftesbury organizes the work around physical science and traditional spiritual concepts. The text synthesizes historical general history with literary selections to explore magnetism as both a natural force and a method of healing. By examining electricity alongside human presence, the author links classical traditions to modern mental practices. This volume suits readers interested in early twentieth-century occult traditions, the history of mind-body healing, and vintage self-improvement systems. It does not suit those seeking contemporary medical guides or modern scientific physics textbooks.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Shaftesbury’s text provides a compelling blend of esoteric theory and practical application, appealing to those interested in the mechanics of personal magnetism. However, it does not suit readers seeking rigorous scientific validation or those skeptical of metaphysical concepts like invisible auras. The content relies heavily on the premise that charisma can be consciously developed through mental discipline, which may feel abstract or unproven to hardline empiricists. It is best approached as a philosophical guide for self-mastery rather than a technical manual, making it less appropriate for those who demand concrete, measurable outcomes from every study.
