Transmutation the polarity
might be reversed. This
Principle is known to modern
psychologists who apply it to
the breaking up of undesirable
habits by bidding their
students concentrate upon the
opposite quality. If you are
possessed of Fear, do not
waste time trying to "kill out"
Fear, but instead cultivate the
quality of Courage and the
Fear will disappear. Some
writers have expressed this
idea most forcibly by using the
illustration of the dark room.
You do not have to shovel out
or sweep out the Darkness, but
by merely opening the
shutters and letting in the
Light the Darkness has
disappeared. To kill out a
Negative quality, concentrate
upon the Positive Pole of that
same quality and the
vibrations will gradually
change from Negative to
Positive until finally you will
become polarized on the
Positive pole instead of the
Negative. The reverse is also
true, as many have found out
to their sorrow when they
have allowed themselves to
vibrate too constantly on the
Negative pole of things.

By changing your polarity you
may master your moods,
change your mental states,
remake your disposition and
build up character.
Much of the Mental Mastery of
the advanced Hermetics is due
to this application of Polarity,
which is one of the important
aspects of Mental
Transmutation.
Remember the Hermetic Axiom
(quoted previously) which
says,
"Mind (as well as metals and
elements) may be transmuted
from state to state, degree to
degree, condition to condition,
pole to pole, vibration to
vibration." - The Kybalion.

The mastery of Polarization is
the mastery of the
fundamental principles of
Mental Transmutation or
