THE MYSTERY OF SEX TRANSMUTATION 207


103 majority of people never use during an entire lifetime, and if used at all, it usually

104 happens by mere accident. A relatively small number of people use, WITH
105 DELIBERATION AND PURPOSE AFORETHOUGHT, the faculty of

106 creative imagination. Those who use this faculty voluntarily, and with
107 understanding of its functions, are GENII.


108 The faculty of creative imagination is the direct link between the finite mind of

109 man and Infinite Intelligence. All so-called revelations, referred to in the realm of
110 religion, and all discoveries of basic or new principles in the field of invention,
111 take place through the faculty of creative imagination.


112 When ideas or concepts flash into one's mind, through what is popularly called a

113 "hunch," they come from one or more of the following sources :-


114 1. Infinite Intelligence


115 2. One's subconscious mind, wherein is stored every sense impression and
116 thought impulse which ever reached the brain through any of the five

117 senses


118 3. From the mind of some other person who has just released the thought,
119 or picture of the idea or concept, through conscious thought, or


120 4. From the other person's subconscious storehouse. There are no other
121 KNOWN sources from which "inspired" ideas or "hunches" may be

122 received.


123 The creative imagination functions best when the mind is vibrating (due to some
124 form of mind stimulation) at an exceedingly high rate. That is, when the mind is

125 functioning at a rate of vibration higher than that of ordinary, normal thought.


126 When brain action has been stimulated, through one or more of the ten mind
127 stimulants, it has the effect of lifting the individual far above the horizon of

128 ordinary thought, and permits him to envision distance, scope, and quality of
129 THOUGHTS not available on the lower plane, such as that occupied while one

130 is engaged in the solution of the problems of business and professional routine.
