fact that there is nothing or no condition of which the mind can
conceive that may not become an objective reality, which is the
creative faculty in all of us. This city is here to us just as really
and actually as were the trees of Guir forest a short time ago. By
opening our inward sight, and putting ourselves in accord with another
vibratory plane of existence, we are in full _rapport_ with a condition

impressed."

"But we left the house at midnight, and here we are in the broad
light of day. Do you mean to tell me that the mind controls the sun

"And did I not tell you that it was unwise to gratify curiosity in
this realm when unprepared by a long course of training? But let me
quote you a few words from one of our greatest philosophers"; and Ah
Ben quoted the following from Franz Hartman's "Magic, White and
Black":

"Visible man is not all there is of man, but is surrounded by an
invisible mental atmosphere, comparable to the pulp surrounding the
seed in a fruit; but this light, or atmosphere, or pulp, is the
mind of man, an organized ocean of spiritual substance, wherein all
things exist. If man were conscious of his own greatness, he would
know that within himself exist the sun and the moon and the starry
sky and every object in space, because his true self is God; and
God is without limits."

"These thoughts are utterly beyond me," said Paul uneasily.
