The Master Mind may W. Clement Stone, who worked closely with Napoleon Hill fora decade, had this to say about the principle:
“During our ten-year association, I learned the missing number to my combination for worldwide successful achievement—the Master Mind
Principle, two or more persons working together incomplete harmony toward a mutual goal or goals….Napoleon Hill’s philosophy teaches you what you were never taught, specifically, how to recognize, relate,
assimilate, and apply principles whereby you can achieve any goal whatsoever that doesn’t violate Universal Law—the Law of God and the rights of your fellowman (Editorial Reviews Amazon.com website, November 12, 2003).

It absorbs energy In the original version of the book, Hill uses the now obsolete term (and concept) of ether instead of “Unifying

extremely difficult to comprehend and explain, he was forced to resort to analogies such as the one presented here.
