In conclusion let us again call your attention to the Hermetic Axiom, "True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental Art." - The Kybalion. In the above axiom, the Hermetists teach that the great work of influencing one's environment is accomplished by Mental Power.

And in this truth is to be found an explanation of all the phenomena and manifestations of the various mental powers which are attracting so much attention and study in these earlier years of the Twentieth Century. Back of and under the teachings of the various cults and schools, remains ever constant the Principle of the Mental Substance of the Universe. If the Universe be Mental in its substantial nature, then it follows that Mental Transmutation must change the conditions and phenomena of the Universe. If the Universe is Mental, then Mind must be the highest power affecting its phenomena. If this be understood then all the so-called "miracles" and "wonder-workings" are seen plainly for what they are. "THE ALL is MIND, The Universe is Mental." - The Kybalion.
