Charles F. Haanel
By Walter Barlow Stevens
Charles F. Haanel is largely associated with the business interests of the city, being affiliated with a number of enterprises of acknowledged financial worth. Beside being president of the Continental Commercial Company he is also president of the Sacramento Valley Improvement Company and president of the word a self-made man, having risen in the commercial world to his present station of worth and prominence by the utilization of his own natural resources.
Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 1866, he is the son of Hugo and Emeline (Fox) Haanel, who removed with him to St. Louis when he was in early childhood. He initiated himself into the business world as an office boy for the National Enameling & Stamping Company. For this company he worked for a period of fifteen years. Finally he resigned his position with this firm and, being ambitious to rise higher in the financial world, he conceived an idea of organizing a company for the purpose of promoting an enterprise. At that time the vicinity of Tehuantepec, Mexico, was reputed as being especially adapted to the growth of sugar and coffee. He succeeded in convincing a number of capitalists of the feasibility of taking up land in that section of the country and working a plantation. The land was purchased and the company organized to engage in the raising of sugar and coffee.
Of this company he was made president. The plantation was successful from the beginning and soon became as enterprise of considerable financial worth. This was organized in 1898 and in 1905 Mr Haanel organized the Continental Commercial Company with Mr Haanel as president. It is capitalized for two million five hundred thousand dollars, and is one of the largest of its kind in the world. Mr Haanel has by no means confined his efforts to these lines, however, but has extended his labors to other enterprises with which he is associated in a prominent capacity. He was one of the organizers of the Sacramento Valley Improvement Company and from the beginning has been its president. Since its inception the company has enjoyed an era of prosperity and now owns and controls the largest Tokay vineyards in the world. He is likewise president of the Mexico Gold & Silver Mining Company, a company of some importance in developing the rich mineral resources of the southern public. In 1885 Mr Haanel was united in marriage with Miss Esther
M. Smith. Sixteen years later he was left a widower with one son and two daughters, and in July, 1908, he was married to Miss Margaret Nicholson of St. Louis, a daughter of W. A. Nicholson. While Mr Haanel is a republican, his pressing business interests have given him no time to take an active interest in politics beyond that of casting his vote and using his influence for the election of the candidates of the party in whose principles he firmly believes.
He is a member of Keystone lodge, a thirty second degree Mason and a Shriner. He is also affiliated with the Missouri Athletic Club.
He is a man of mature judgment, capable of taking a calm survey of life and correctly valuing its opportunities, its possibilities, its demands and obligations.
He has wisely sought success along the lines of least resistance and yet when difficulties and obstacles have confronted him he has displayed a force of character that has enabled him to overcome them and continue on the pathway of prosperity
Many a man whose life is one of untiring industry does not win success for he lacks the complement to industry - a laughable ambition which prompts the individulal to reach out into other fields and eagerly grasp the opportunities that are presented. In these qualities Mr. Haanel is richly endowed and has thus attained his present enviable position in financial circles.

Introduction
by the Author
In this volume I have embodied many valuable secrets, which have been collected with great care from the treasured wisdom of Ancient India. These secrets if put into daily practice will bring you added health, greater success, and unbounded happiness. They will prove to be a "guide, philosopher, and friend" and will serve you well in times of trouble, difficulty, or disease. In fact, you will soon come to regard them as the greatest boon that has ever come into your life. They will invest you with courage, hope, health, success, power, length of days, a radiant countenance, and a magnetic personality.
You will now probably want to know something concerning Victor S. Perera, who has collaborated with me in penning this work. He was born February 21, 1897, at Matara, on the Island of Ceylon, India. He was born of Cingalese parents and was brought up as a Christian. His early education was in Cingalese, his mother—tongue, but he was later educated in English and attended an English College.
His health was delicate, which made him quiet and reserved, but he had a marvelous memory, which soon placed him at the head of his classmates inevery subject. Because of continued ill—health, he left college in 1913, passing out as an undergraduate of Cambridge University. He had intended to study medicine, but ill—health prevented and in 1917 he became a teacher.
He contributed articles to the Indian Recorder (1923—1924) on "The Operation of the Law of Karma", which gave the highest teachings that have been long lost to the world, concerning the operation of the Law of Cause and Effect on the mental plane. The article received the highest appreciation.
The important facts contained in this volume will place a sceptre of power in your hands with which you can open a pathway to health, success, and the life abundant. You will find that they contain a priceless message that will bring solace to your mental wounds in times of distress. You will come to feel that you have realized a lifelong dream and will often regret that this information did not come to you much earlier. And, what is best of all, you will find nothing in these lessons that will in any way conflict with any religious principles that you may hold.
On the other hand, your spiritual convictions will be strengthened be—cause you will find that Truth is the same in all lands and in all times regard—less of the name it may take or the manner of its presentation.
May the message that has been penned for you by myself and by my collaborator in Ceylon, the "Pearl upon the brow of India", the "Eden on the Western Wave", linger long with you and bring you a world of light and life and beauty radiant with joy and youth.

CHAPTER 1
IDA, PINGALA AND SUSHUMANA
This part tells you of a strange discovery made by the Hindu Scientists — how and why certain practices make one positive, courageous, daring, and passionate; while others make one timid, humble, obedient, and spiritual.
This is one of the amazing secrets of the Yogi and is worth many times the price of the entire course.
1. If we divide a human body into two halves along the median line, we would observe that most of the organs that are intended to carry out some function of the body consist of two symmetrical parts: one located on the right half of the body and the other on the left.
2. Thus, the brain, the eyes, the ears, the nose, the arms, the lungs, the kidneys, the testicles or ovaries, and the legs are all double organs or parts, one of which is situated on the right side of the body and the other on the left.
3. This is because man is a magnet having two poles, the same as all other bodies that manifest magnetic properties.
4. The right side of the body represents the positive pole, while the left side represents the negative pole.
5. Spirit, Mind Substance, Astral Substance, Ether, and Matter, all manifest two poles: the positive and the negative. This is an inherent law of the Cosmos.
