into units of molecules, atoms, and electrons. There are units of matter which
may be isolated, separated, and analyzed.

Likewise, there are units of energy. The human mind is a form of energy, a part
of it being spiritual in nature. When the minds of two people are coordinated in a
SPIRIT OF HARMONY, the spiritual units of energy of each mind form an affin-
ity, which constitutes the "psychic" phase of the Master Mind.

The Master Mind principle, or rather the economic feature of it, was first called
to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, over twenty-five years ago. Discovery of this
principle was responsible for the choice of my life's work.

Mr. Carnegie's Master Mind group consisted of a staff of approximately fifty men,
with whom he surrounded himself, for the DEFINITE PURPOSE of manufactur-
ing and marketing steel. He attributed his entire fortune to the POWER he accu-
mulated through this "Master Mind."

Analyze the record of any man who has accumulated a great fortune, and many
of those who have accumulated modest fortunes, and you will find that they have
either consciously, or unconsciously employed the "Master Mind" principle.

GREAT POWER CAN BE ACCUMULATED THROUGH NO OTHER

PRINCIPLE!

ENERGY is Nature's universal set of building blocks, out of which she constructs
every material thing in the universe, including man, and every form of animal and
vegetable life. Through a process which only Nature completely understands, she
translates energy into matter. Nature's building blocks are available to man, in
the energy involved in THINKING! Man's brain may be compared to an electric
battery. It absorbs energy from the ether, which permeates every atom of matter,
and fills the entire universe.

It is a well known fact that a group of electric batteries will provide more energy
than a single battery. It is also a well known fact that an individual battery will
provide energy in proportion to the number and capacity of the cells it contains.

The brain functions in a similar fashion. This accounts for the fact that some
brains are more efficient than others, and leads to this significant statement-a
group of brains coordinated (or connected) in a spirit of harmony, will provide
more thought-energy than a single brain, just as a group of electric batteries will
provide more energy than a single battery.
