II. Transmutation & Mentalism

Transmutation and Mentalism are interconnected concepts within the realm of metaphysical practices. Mentalism provides the foundational theoretical framework within which transmutation is practiced, elucidating the methods and principles required to harness and utilize higher forces. Specifically, transmutation in this context refers to the process of using mental and spiritual energy to transform or overcome lower, more materialistic forces. This transformation is seen as a means to achieve mastery and elevation. Both concepts emphasize the manipulation and application of higher forces to influence reality in a positive manner, making Mentalism essential for understanding and practicing transmutation effectively.
