It holds that the first step toward Power consists in obtaining a control of one’s own mind. It holds that the internal world must be conquered before the outer world is attacked. It holds that the 'I' manifests itself in Will, and that that Will may be used to manipulate, guide, govern and direct the mind of its owner, as well as the physical world. It aims to clear away all mental rubbish, and encumbrances-to conduct a 'mental house-cleaning,' as it were, and to secure a clear, clean, healthy mind. Then it proceeds to control that mind intelligently, and with effect, saving all waste-power, and by means of concentration bringing the Mind in full harmony with the Will, that it may be brought to a focus and its power greatly increased and its efficiency fully secured.
