The purpose of these lessons is to unfold the Science of Being, to develop a rational philosophy of living, and to teach a technique in the fine art of living, the synthesis of which will produce greater human efficiency.Humanity's progress up from animalism began when we started to think. Thinking brought us a knowledge of the value and use of arms in securing food and defending themselves against enemies, either animal or human. It brought us the secret of making a fire, which added greatly to comfort and protection, and the satisfaction of cooked food. It led us up to the classification of vocal sounds and thence to language. The next step was the discovery of symbols of speech and the development of the records of sayings and doings. Thus, humanity moved forward in the discovery and development of all the symbols of the arts, sciences and philosophies of life. It must be plain, therefore, that to discover the powers of mind and the laws of their use will enable us to develop far beyond our present attainment.
