In addition to the changing of the poles of one's own mental states by the operation of the art of Polarization, the phenomena of Mental Influence, in its manifold phases, shows us that the principle may be extended so as to embrace the phenomena of the influence of one mind over that of another, of which so much has been written and taught of late years.
依靠极化艺术的运作，一个人可以增加自己的精神状态的极性的改变。在精神许多阶段里的这个心理影响的现象，告诉我们，这个法则能够被扩展到包括作用于对其他精神影响，这个现象上去，对于这些，近来已经有很多作品和教导出现。

When it is understood that Mental Induction is possible, that is that mental states may be produced by "induction" from others,
then we can readily see how a certain rate of vibration, or polarization of a certain mental state, may be communicated to another person, and his polarity in that class of mental states thus changed.
当理解了精神感应是可能的，就是精神状态能够被来自他人的感应而产生变化，
那么我们能够容易看到，某种特定心理状态的振动速率或者极化，能够沟通到其他人，并且他在那类的心理状态的极性，这样就被改变了。

It is along this principle that the results of many of the "mental treatments" are obtained. For instance, a person is "blue," melancholy and full of fear.
沿着这个法则，可以获得许多心理态度的效果。例如，一个人是哀愁、忧伤、非常恐惧。

A mental scientist bringing his own mind up to the desired vibration by his trained will, and thus obtaining the desired polarization in his own case, then produces a similar mental state in the other by induction, the result being that the vibrations are raised and the person polarizes toward the Positive end of the scale instead toward the Negative, and his Fear and other negative emotions are transmuted to Courage and similar positive mental states.
精神科学家依靠意志的训练，把他们自身的心理增加到期望的振动，在他们自己的情景中获得期望上的转变，依靠感应，产生相同的心理状态在其他人身上，结果是振动的提升，病人的极化方向被修复朝向标度的正向一方，而不是朝向负向，他的害怕和其它负面情绪，被转变，达到勇敢以及同样的正向心理状态。

A little study will show you that these mental changes are nearly all along the line of Polarization, the change being one of degree rather than of kind.
一点小小的研究可以告诉你，这些精神改变只是沿着极性的的路线，这个改变只是在程度上，而非在类别间的。

A knowledge of the existence of this great Hermetic Principle will enable the student to better understand his own mental states, and those of other people.
认识这个赫尔墨斯伟大法则的存在，将使学生能够更好地理解他自己以及其他人的精神状态。

He will see that these states are all matters of degree, and seeing thus, he will be able to raise or lower the vibration at will
--to change his mental poles, and thus be Master of his mental states, instead of being their servant and slave.
他会看到这些状态都只是程度上的，有这样的看到，就是你将能在意志上提高或者降低振动——能够改变它的心理极性，而变为他的精神状态的主人，而非它们的仆人或者奴隶。

And by his knowledge he will be able to aid his fellows intelligently and by the appropriate methods change the polarity when the same is desirable.
靠着他的知识，他可以聪明地帮助他周围的人，依靠适宜的方法，当在适当的时候，改变极性。
We advise all students to familiarize themselves with this Principle of Polarity, for a correct understanding of the same will throw light on many difficult subjects.
我们建议所有的学生，要让自己熟悉这个极性法则，对极性法则的正确理解，将照亮到许多困难事物。
