—[a]—FORCE, the First Principle, when applied to the MIND PLANE of Life, shows itself in the strong will, the stubborn Mind. It enables you to take up new habits of thought. This application causes others to listen to your opinions and even to seek those opinions. It will draw the opposite sex to you, where that person is of the intellectual type. Rightly exerted it leads to POWER among your friends and associates. This POWER will be limited only by your knowledge of the reactions that you will arouse through its use.
—[b]—CHOICE, the Second Principle, when applied to the MIND PLANE of Life, enables you to choose the best reading matter; the proper teachers for your education; the things you will accept in matters of opinion in religion, art, science or politics. This application gives you what is called good taste. It leads to RICHES of knowledge and intellect.
—[c]—ORDER, the Third Principle, when applied to the MIND PLANE of Life, makes you logical and direct. It gives you good concentration, because it keeps you in ORDER in your thoughts and brings you WISDOM in the minds of your friends. This application makes a channel into your own mind of all the best thoughts that have been or will be along the line to which you are applying yourself. ORDER attracts big minds to you, because you and your proposition seems logical to them. ORDER gives you better expressive WISDOM, as to time, place and conditions to present your ideas.
—[d]—COHESION, the Fourth Principle, when applied to the MIND PLANE of Life, makes you more continuous in your application to your beliefs and decisions. It gives you STRENGTH of mind and power to make others want to be in your good graces, to do largely as you do. In fact, you may know fairly well how much of COHESION you are exerting on the Mind Plane by the ease with which you hold friendships and the manner in which you are referred to in matters of opinion. With this application strong you will find that you exert a good influence over many and become a tower of strength to a large number of friends.
—[e]—DISCARD, the Fifth Principle, when applied to the MIND PLANE of Life, helps you to set aside "every weight which doth so easily beset you." (Heb. 12:1). It enables you to refuse the opinions of others, if you wish to. This application makes you somewhat independent in mind and is often the chief Principle needed to put you up among the leaders in your group. When it is known that you can refuse opinions, in the right time and place, it is generally assumed that you are strong minded. The mediocre mass accepts all opinions and authority, but the outstanding person is the one who questions thoughts, who "proves all things and holds fast that which is good." (1 Thess. 5:21.) To DISCARD the low or the lesser, leads to HONOR.
—[f]—TRANSMUTATION, the Sixth Principle, when applied to the MIND PLANE, enables you to use your mind in higher lines and more intellectually than before. Your whole life becomes "transformed by the renewing of your mind." (Romans 12:1 and 2.) The TRANSMUTATION Principle applied to the Mind, brings GLORY in its right use to all the other faculties and thus the whole Life.
—[g]—SPIRITUALITY, the Seventh Principle, when applied to the MIND PLANE, causes you to look into the religious and the moral side of things. It makes you want to be sure as to the rightness of anything before agreeing with it. SPIRITUALITY naturally follows TRANSMUTATION. This application of the Principle of SPIRITUALITY must have its outlet in every life, whether it be in the line of religion, ethics or morals. You must not suppress entirely this part of your nature. Let all parts of your mind grow. Thus by applying SPIRITUALITY you will attain the inner BLESSING.
