—[w]—CHOICE, the Second Principle, when applied to the ANIMAL PLANE of Life, results in the right selection of foods, clothes, house and sex. It gives the ability to select the right mate. This application leads to RICHES of a physical nature, the possession of property and goods in the line of the CHOICE that may be made.
—[x]—ORDER, the Third Principle, when applied to the ANIMAL PLANE, enables one to place the right action in the right time and place. It leads to the tactful handling of the body and the faculties. It makes for nice foods, well served; for nice homes, well appointed; for a careful mate of real fitness to your life and environment. This application leads to WISDOM as to the right time, place and use of all physical things.
—[y]—COHESION, the Fourth Principle, when applied to the ANIMAL PLANE, helps to hold the home together; makes you attractive to business partners and associates; makes people want to work with you and for you. It leads to STRENGTH of your body and your physical collections of things and possessions. When you develop the COHESION in your ANIMAL PLANE you give the appearance of being well-built and well able to take care of yourself.
—[z]—DISCARD, the Fifth Principle, when applied to the ANIMAL PLANE, enables you to cast off undesirable foods, undesirable clothes and living quarters and even an undesirable person, though they may claim the ties of relationship. In fact the casting off of undesirable relatives is the hardest test of this Principle of DISCARD. This Principle is also much needed in changing one's life from an undesirable or low tendency to a higher one. DISCARD is a constant but little understood Principle in Life. It is the hardest to understand and to operate of any of them. Quite generally we do not know when we need it on the ANIMAL PLANE, because of our love of ease and our aversion to change. We feel, usually, that what has been good enough up to now, should be good enough further on. We come to HONOR when we know and use the Fifth Principle, DISCARD.
—[a]—TRANSMUTATION, the Sixth Principle, when applied to the ANIMAL PLANE, helps you to make the unlovely into the lovely. It transmutes food into muscle and brain; a house into a home; a woman into a wife or sweetheart; a man into a husband or lover. This application causes the ANIMAL PLANE part of the human life to arise toward the MIND PLANE, the next logical step. The right use of the Principle of TRANSMUTATION, without suppression, is the only answer to the sex question. Any right application of TRANSMUTATION leads to GLORY.
—[b]—SPIRITUALITY, the Seventh Principle, can be only indirectly applied to the ANIMAL PLANE through the MIND PLANE. This will be explained in the next lesson, after the Number 9 (page 94, paragraph g).
