PREFACE
to the 21st Century Edition
Rosicrucian Principles for the Home and Business was first published in
1929, and given the major business troubles of that fateful year, this
new book could not have been more timely as it guided its readers
through the tumultuous depression years of the 1930s. H. Spencer
Lewis enlightened advice for those involved in the world of business
proves to be as relevant today as it was then.
Although business conditions have changed greatly since 1929, the
principles behind good business practice remain the same. They are
as timeless as the laws of human nature. The chapters of this book
are actually specific and practical lessons in the application of certain
mystical and natural laws.
While the basic concepts presented here are as true today as they
were then, some of the examples, phrases, and references in the original
edition do not fully address themselves to todays fast-paced world of
business and finance. For example, many of todays businesses are
owned, guided, and managed by women as well as men; credit is much
more accessible now than in the past; and todays business climate is
much more open and diverse than it was in 1929. In fact, this important
book undoubtedly contributed to the more open and honest business
environment of today. For all these reasons it was vitally important
that H. Spencer Lewiss timeless concepts for the home and business
be brought into the context of the twenty-first century.
Therefore, our purpose in revising this Rosicrucian Classic is to
make it more comprehensive for todays readers. Leaving the books
basic message intact, we have clarified and updated information, while

SEEKING EMPLOYMENT
The moment we attribute our failure in securing anything in life to
exterior influences which we imagine exist, we shut the door against
self analysis and fail to learn an invaluable lesson.

IMPRESSING OTHERS
Just as you cannot send a message to someone if you do not know
what it is you wish to say, neither can you convey an idea from your
mind to the mind of another if you do not have a clear picture of
that idea in your mind to begin with.

THE LAW OF
COMPENSATION
Many people appeal to the Cosmic or to the laws of psychology or
mysticism for aid in their predicaments, yet they cannot show that at
any time in the past have they cooperated with the Cosmic in liberally
helping others.

ATTRACTING CUSTOMERS
There is no surer way of attracting business than by making new

received before.
