(Excerpts from the book)

"The Universe being wholly mental, it follows that it may be ruled only by mentality."

"The wise man falls in with the Law and by understanding its movements, he operates it instead of being its blind slave."

"There are many planes of causation and one may use the laws of the higher to overcome the laws of the lower."

"There is a Higher Plane of consciousness, as well as the ordinary Lower Plane, and the Master by rising mentally to the Higher Plane causes the swing of the mental pendulum to manifest on the Lower Plane, and he, dwelling on the Higher Plane, escapes the consciousness of the swing backward."

"This is affected by polarizing on the Higher Self, and thus raising the mental vibrations of the Ego above those of the ordinary plane of consciousness."

"By changing your polarity, you may master your moods, change your mental states, remake your disposition, and build up character."

"Unless one acquires the art of changing his own polarity, he will be unable to affect his environment."

"To change your mood or mental state -- change your vibration."

"One may change his mental vibrations by an effort of Will, in the direction of deliberately fixing his Attention upon a more desirable state."

"Will directs the Attention, and Attention changes the Vibration."

"Without the active aid of the Will of the Masculine Principle, the Feminine Principle is apt to rest content with generating mental images which are the result of impressions received from outside instead of producing original mental creations."
