**SOME PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS FOR DAILY LIFE**

 Practical Occultism

**PREFACE**

The quotations of which the following article is composed were not originally extracted with a view to publication and may therefore appear somewhat disjointed. They were first published as a Theosophical Sifting, in the hope that readers might take the hint and make daily books of extracts for themselves, thus preserving a lasting record of the books read and rendering their reading of practical value. By following this plan, the reader would concentrate in a brief space whatever has appealed to him as being the essence of the book.

The plan of reading a set of quotations each morning, trying to live up to them during the day, and meditating upon them in leisure moments, is also suggested as helpful to the earnest student.
