Businessman. Leader. Philosopher. Visionary.

"Opportunity follows perception, action follows in- spiration, growth follows knowledge, eminence follows progress. Always the spiritual first, then the transformation into the infinite and illimitable possibilities of achievement."

Hopefully, no source that was actually read, rather than known of, has not been credited.

There were several books I would have liked to have read, but proved difficult to obtain.

During the writing of the original of this article I made a good few enquiries to various organizations and individuals. In most cases I got replies and equally in most cases some comment that was helpful. Special thanks must be made to Anthony R. Michalski and Kallisti Publishing, who over recent years has been both helpful and kind. Thanks, Tony! Also special thanks to Tony for the use of a good number of Haanel items that have helped illustrate this essay.
