law of attraction the master key system part 1 charles f haanel
two master key system part two our difficulties are largely due to confused
ideas and ignorant of our true interests a great task is to discover the laws of
nature to which we are to adjust ourselves clear thinking and moral
insight are therefore of incalculable value all processes even those of
thought rests on solid foundations the keener the sensibilities the more acute
the judgment the more delicate the taste the more refined the moral feelings the
more subtle the intelligence the loftier the aspiration the purer and more
intense are the gratifications which existence yields hence it is that the
study of the best that has been thought in the world gives supreme pleasure
the powers uses and possibilities of the mind under the new interpretations are
incomparably more wonderful than the most extravagant accomplishment or even
dreams of material progress thought is energy active thought is active energy
concentrated thought is concentrated energy thought concentrated on a
definite purpose becomes power this is the power which is being used by those
who do not believe in the virtue of poverty or the beauty of self-denial
they perceive that this is the talk of weaklings
the ability to receive and manifest this power depends upon the ability to
recognize the infinite energy ever dwelling and man constantly creating and
law of attraction the master key system part 1 charles f haanel
recreating his body and mind and ready at any moment to manifest through him in
any needful manner an exact proportion to the recognition of this truth will be
the manifestation and outer life of the individual part two explains the method
by which this is accomplished the operations of mine are produced by two
parallel modes of activity the one conscious and the other subconscious
professor Davidson says he who thinks to illuminate the whole range of mental
action by the light of his own consciousness is not unlike the one who
should go about to illuminate the universe with a flashlight
the subconscious logical processes are carried on with a certainty and
regularity which would be impossible if there existed the possibility of error
our mind is so designed that it prepares for us the most important foundations of
cognition while we have not the slightest apprehension of the modus
operandi the subconscious soul like a benevolent stranger works and makes
provision for our benefit pouring only the mature fruit into our lap thus
ultimate analysts of thought process shows that the subconscious is the
theater of the most important mental phenomena it is through the subconscious
that Shakespeare must have perceived without effort great truths which are
hidden from the conscious mind of the student at videos fashion marble and
bronze that Raphael painted Madonna's and Beethoven composed symphonies ease
and perfection depend entirely upon the degree in which we cease to depend on
the consciousness playing the piano skating operating the typewriter the
skilled trades and for their perfect execution on the
process of the subconscious mind the marvel of playing a brilliant piece on
law of attraction the master key system part 1 charles f haanel
the piano at the same time conducting a vigorous conversation shows the
greatness of our subconscious powers we are all aware how dependent we are upon
the subconscious and the greater the nobler the more brilliant our thoughts
are the more it is obvious to ourselves that the origin lies beyond our kin we
find ourselves endowed with tact instinct sense of the beautiful and art
music etc or whose origin or dwelling place we are wholly unconscious the
value of the subconscious is enormous it inspires us it warns us it furnishes us
with names facts and scenes from the storehouse of memory it directs our
thoughts tastes and accomplishes tasks so too intricate a note conscious mind
even if it had the power has the capacity for we can walk it will we can
raise the arm whenever we choose to do so we can give our attention through eye
or ear to any subject that pleasure on the other hand we cannot stop our
heartbeats nor the circulation of the blood nor the growth of stature nor the
formation of nerve and muscle tissue nor the building of the bones nor many other
important vital processes if we compare these two sets of action then one decree
by the will of the moment and the other proceeding and majestic rhythmic course
subject to no vacillation the constant at every moment we stand in all of the
latter and asked to have the mystery explained we see at once these are the
vital processes of our physical life and we cannot avoid the inference that all
"law of attraction" the master key system part 1 charles f haanel
these important functions are decidedly withdrawn from the domain of our outward
will with its variations and transitions and placed under the direction of a
and dependable power within us of these two powers the outward and changeable
has been termed the conscious mind or the objective mind dealing with the
outward objects the interior power is called the subconscious mind or the
subjective mind and besides its work on the mental plane it controls the regular
functions which make physical life possible it is necessary to have a clear
understanding of their respective functions on the mental plane as well as
certain other basic principles perceiving and operating through the
five physical senses the conscious mind deals with the impressions and objects
of the outward life does the Faculty of discrimination carrying with it the
responsibility of choice does the power of reasoning whether inductive deductive
analytical or syllogistic and this power may be developed to a high degree it is
the seed of the will with all the energies that flow therefrom not only
can it impress other minds but it can direct the subconscious mind in this way
the conscious mind becomes the responsible ruler and guardian of the
subconscious mind does this high function which can completely reverse
conditions in your life is often true that conditions of fear worry poverty
disease and harmony and evils of all kinds dominate us by reason of false
suggestion accepted by the unguarded subconscious mind all this the trained
conscious mind can entirely prevent bias vigilant protection action it may
properly be called the watchman at the gate of the great subconscious domain
one writer has expressed the chief distinction between the two phases of
mine thus conscious mind is reasoning will subconscious - instinctive desire
law of attraction the master key system part 1 charles f haanel attract create manifest
result in the past reasoning will subconscious mind strolls just and
accurate inferences from premises furnish from outside sources where the
premise is true the subconscious mind reaches a faultless conclusion but where
the premise or suggestion is an error the whole structure Falls the
subconscious mind does not engage in the process of proving it relies upon the
conscious mind the watchman at the gate to guard it from the mistaken
impressions receiving any suggestion is true the subconscious mind at once
proceeds to act thereon in the whole domain of his tremendous field of work
the conscious mind can suggest either truth or error if the latter it is at
the cost of wide-reaching peril to the whole being conscious mind ought to be
on duty during every waking hour when the watchman is off guard or when it's
calm judgment is suspended under a variety of circumstances and the
subconscious mind is unguarded and left open to suggestion from all sources
during the wild excitement of panic or during the height of anger or the
impulses of the irresponsible mob or at any other time of unrestrained passion
the conditions are most dangerous the subconscious mind then open to the
suggestion of fear hatred selfishness greed self depreciation and other
negative forces derived from surrounding persons or circumstances the result is
usually unwholesome in the extreme with effects that may endure to distress it
for a long time hence the great importance of guarding the subconscious
mind from false impressions the subconscious mind perceives by
intuition hence it's processes are rapid does not wait for the slow method of
conscious reasoning in fact it cannot employ them the subconscious mind never

sleeps never rests any more than does your heart or your blood isn't found
that by plainly stating to the subconscious mind certain specific
things to be accomplished forces are set in operation and lead to the result
desired here then is a source of power which places us in touch with
omnipotence herein is a deep principle which is well worth our most earnest
study the operation of this law is interesting those who put it into
operation find that when they go out to meet the person with whom they
anticipate a difficult interview something has been there before them and
dissolved the supposed differences everything has changed all is harmonious
they find that when some difficult business problem presents itself they
can afford to make delay and something suggests the proper solution everything
is properly arranged in fact those who have learned to trust the subconscious
find that they have infinite resources at their command subconscious mind is
the seed of our principles and our aspirations is the fount of our artistic
and altruistic ideals these instincts can only be overthrown by an elaborate
and gradual process of undermining the innate principles the subconscious mind
cannot argue controversially hence if it has accepted wrong suggestions the sure
method of overcoming them is by the use of a strong counter suggestion
frequently repeated which the mind must accept us eventually forming new and
healthy habits of thought and life for the subconscious - the seed of habit
that which we do over and over becomes mechanical it is no longer an act of
judgment that has worn it's deep grooves in the subconscious mind this is
favorable for us at the habit be wholesome and right it could be harmful
and wrong the remedy is to recognize the omnipotence of the subconscious mind and
suggest present actual freedom the subconscious being creative and one with
law of attraction the master key system part 1 charles f haanel
our divine source will at once create the freedom suggested to sum up the
normal functions of the subconscious on the physical side have to do with the
regular and vital processes with the preservation of life and the restoration
of health with the care of offspring which includes an instinctive desire to
preserve all life and improve conditions generally on the mental side it is the
storehouse of memory it harbors the wonderful thought messengers who work
unhampered by time or space it is the fountain of the practical initiative and
constructive forces of life it is the seed of habit on the spiritual side it
is the source of ideals of aspiration of the imagination and is the channel
through which we recognize our divine source and in proportion as we recognize
this ability do we come into an understanding of the source of power
someone may ask how can the subconscious change conditions the reply is because
the subconscious is a part of the universal mind and a part must be the
same in kind and quality as the whole the only difference is one of degree
the whole as we know is creative in fact it is the only creator there is
consequently we find the mind is creative and as thought is the only
activity which the mind possesses thought must necessarily be creative
also we should find that there is a vast difference between simply thinking and
directing our thought consciously systematically and constructively when
we do this replace our mind and harmony with the universal mind we come in tune
law of attraction the master key system part 1 charles f haanel
with the infinite we set an operation the mightiest forces in existence the
creative power of the universal mind this as everything else is governed by
natural law and this law is the law of attraction which is that mind is
creative and will automatically correlate with its object and bring it
into manifestation last week I gave you an exercise for the purpose of securing
control of the physical body if you have accomplished this you're ready to
advance this time you'll begin to control your thought always take the
same room the same chair and the same position if possible in some cases it is
not convenient to take the same room in this case simply make the best use of
such condition as may be available now be perfectly still as before but inhibit
all thought this will give you control over all thoughts of care worry and fear
and will enable you to entertain only the kind of thoughts you desire continue
this exercise until you gain complete mastery you will not be able to do this
for more than a few moments at a time but the exercise is valuable because it
will be very practical demonstration of the great number of thoughts which are
constantly trying to gain access to your mental world
next week you will receive instructions for an exercise which may be a little
more interesting but it is necessary that you mastered this one first cause
and effect is as absolute and undeviating in the hidden realm of
thought as in the world of visible and material things mine is the master
weaver both of the interior garment of character and the outer garment of
