principle underlying many of

poles, along which
transmutation is possible.

When, however, the Principle
of Polarity is once grasped and
it is seen that the mental
changes are occasioned by a
change of polarity - a sliding
along the same scale - the
hatter is readily understood.

The student will readily
recognize that in the mental
states, as well as in the
phenomena of the Physical
Plane, the two poles may be
classified as Positive and
Negative, respectively.
Thus Love is Positive to Hate,
Courage to Fear, Activity to
Non-Activity, etc, etc.

The change is not in the nature
of a transmutation of one thing
into another thing entirely
different - but is merely a
change of degree in the same
things, a vastly important
difference.
For instance, borrowing an
analogy from the Physical
Plane, it is impossible to
change Heat into Sharpness,
Loudness, Highness, etc, but
Heat may readily be
transmuted into Cold, simply
by lowering the vibrations.
In the same way Hate and Love
are mutually transmutable, so
are Fear and Courage.
But Fear cannot be transformed
into Love, nor can Courage be
transmuted into Hate.
The mental states belong to
innumerable classes, each
class of which has its opposite

And it will also be noticed that
even to those unfamiliar with
the Principle of Vibration, the
Positive pole seems to be of a
higher degree than the
Negative and readily dominates
it.
The tendency of Nature is in
