so much has been written and
taught of late years.
When it is understood that
Mental Induction is possible,
that is that mental states may
be produced by "induction"
from others, then we can
readily see how a certain rate
of vibration, or polarization of
a certain mental state, may be
communicated to another
person and his polarity in that
class of mental states thus
changed.
It is along this principle that
the results of many of the
"mental treatments" are
obtained.
For instance, a person is
"blue," melancholy and full of
fear.
A mental scientist bringing his
own mind up to the desired
vibration by his trained will
and thus obtaining the desired
polarization in his own case,
then produces a similar mental
state in the other by induction,
the result being that the
vibrations are raised and the
person polarizes toward the
Positive end of the scale
instead toward the Negative
and his Fear and other negative

emotions are transmuted to
Courage and similar positive
mental states.
A little study will show you
that these mental changes are
nearly all along the line of
Polarization, the change being
one of degree rather than of
kind.
A knowledge of the existence
of this great Hermetic Principle
will enable the student to
better understand his own
mental states and those of
other people.
He will see that these states
are all matters of degree and
seeing thus, he will be able to
raise or lower the vibration at
will - to change his mental
poles and thus be Master of his
mental states, instead of being
their servant and slave. And by
his knowledge he will be able
to aid his fellows intelligently
and by the appropriate
methods change the polarity
when the same is desirable. We
advise all students to
familiarize themselves with
this Principle of Polarity, for a
correct understanding of the
same will throw light on many
difficult subjects.
