This is done purely by conscious, determined thinking, as shown in the “Instructions” in The Way Out, and in the earlier articles herein. In all such thinking, the elementals of the air or of the mental realm take immediately every thought-form created, obeying and taking on the intelligence which imbued it and thereby vitalizing it on the mental plane, and giving it whatever qualities were intended in the thought.
