"The talent for transformation which has given man so
much power over all other creatures has as yet scarcely been considered
or begun to be understood. Though everyone possesses it, uses it and
takes it for granted, it is one of the great mysteries and few are aware
that to it they owe what is best in themselves. It is extremely
difficult to understand the true nature of transformation. The most
hopeful course is to approach it from several different angles."
