TRANSMUTATION • • Oil on canvas • 18 x 24 in (45.72 x 60.96 cm) • The human mind responds to stimuli, through which it may be "keyed up" to high rates of vibration, known as enthusiasm, creative imagination, intense desire, etc. The stimuli to which the mind responds most freely are: •

1. The desire for sex expression •
2. Love •
3. A burning desire for fame, power, or financial gain, MONEY •
4. Music •
5. Friendship between either those of the same sex, or those of the opposite sex. •
6. A Master Mind alliance based upon the harmony of two or more people who ally themselves for spiritual or temporal advancement. •
7. Mutual suffering, such as that experienced by people who are persecuted. •
8. Auto-suggestion •
9. Fear •
10. Narcotics and alcohol. • The desire for sex expression comes at the head of the list of stimuli, which most effectively "step-up" the vibrations of the mind and start the "wheels" of physical action. Eight of these stimuli are natural and constructive. Two are destructive. The list is here presented for the purpose of enabling • you to make a comparative study of the major sources of mind stimulation. From this study, it will be readily seen that the emotion of sex is, by great odds, the most intense and powerful of all mind stimuli. • This comparison is necessary as a foundation for proof of the statement that transmutation of sex energy may lift one to the status of a genius.
