In fact, the Hermetic
Teachings show that the very
creation of the Universe
follows the same law and that
in all creative manifestations
upon the planes of the
spiritual, the mental and the
physical there is always in
operation this principle of
Gender - this manifestation of
the Masculine and the
Feminine Principles.
"As above, so below, as below,
so above." And more than
this, when the principle of
Mental Gender is once
grasped and understood, the
varied phenomena of
psychology at once becomes
capable of intelligent
classification and study,
instead of being very much in
the dark. The principle "works
out" in practice because it is
based upon the immutable
universal laws of life.
We shall not enter into an
extended discussion of or
description of the varied
phenomena of mental
influence or psychic activity.
There are many books, many
of them quite good, which
have been written and
published on this subject of
late years. The main facts

stated in these various books
are correct although the
several writers have
attempted to explain the
phenomena by various pet
theories of their own.
The student may acquaint
himself with these matters
and by using the theory of
Mental Gender he will be able
to bring order out of the
chaos of conflicting theory
and teachings and may,
moreover, readily make
himself a master of the
subject if he be so inclined.
The purpose of this work is
not to give an extended
account of psychic
phenomena but rather to give
to the student a master-key
whereby He may unlock the
many doors leading into the
parts of the Temple of
Knowledge which he may wish
to explore.
