the master key system part 13 physical science is responsible for the marvelous
age of invention in which we are now living the spiritual science is now
setting out on a career whose possibilities no one can foretell
spiritual science has previously been the football of the uneducated the
superstitious the mystical but men are now interested in definite methods and
demonstrated facts only we have come to know that thinking as a spiritual
process that vision and imagination precede action and event that the day of
the dreamer has come the following lines by mr. Herbert Kaufman are interesting
in this connection they are the architects of greatness their vision
lies with their souls they appear behind the veils and mists of doubt and pierced
the walls of unborn time the belted wheel the trail of steel the
churning screw our shuttles in the loom in which they weave their magic
tapestries makers of Empire they have fought for bigger things than crowns and
higher seats than Thrones your homes are set upon the land a dreamer found the
pictures on its walls are visions from a dreamers soul they are the chose view
the Blazers of the way walls crumble and empires fall the tidal wave sweeps from
the sea and tears of fortress from its rocks the rotting nations drop off from

thymes bow and only things the dreamers make live one part thirteen which
follows tells why the dreams of the dreamer come true it explains the law of
causation by which dreamers inventors authors fine answers bring about the
realization of their desires it explains the law but which the thing pictured
upon our mind eventually becomes our own it has been the tendency and as might be
proved a necessity for science to seek the explanation of everyday facts by a
generalization of those others which are less frequent and form the exception
thus does the eruption of the volcano manifest the heat which is continually
at work and the interior of the earth and to which the latter owes much of her
configuration thus does the Lightning reveal a subtle
power constantly busy to produce changes in the inorganic world and as dead
languages now seldom heard were once ruling among the nations
so does a giant tooth in Siberia or a fossil and the depth of the earth not
only bear record of the evolution of past ages but thereby explained to us
the origin of the hills and valleys which we inhabit today
in this way a generalization of facts which are rare strange or form the
exception has been the magnetic needle guiding to all the discoveries of
inductive science this method is founded upon reason and experience and thereby
destroyed superstition precedent and conventionality it is almost 300 years
since Lord Bacon recommended this method of study to which the civilised nations
the master key system Charles F. Haanel "law of attraction"
owe the greater part of their prosperity and the more valuable part of their
knowledge purging the mind from narrow prejudice to nominated theories more
effectually than by the keenest irony calling the attention of men from heaven
to earth more successfully by surprising experiments and by the most forcible
demonstration of their ignorance
educating the inventive faculties more powerfully by the near prospect of
useful discoveries thrown upon to all than by talk of bringing to light than
mate laws of our mind the method of bacon has seized the spirit an aim of
the great philosopher of Greece and carried them into effect by the new
means of observation which another age offered thus gradually revealing a
wondrous field of knowledge in the infinite space of astronomy in the
microscopic egg of embryology and the dim age of geology disclosing an order
of the pulse which the logic of Aristotle can never have unveiled and
analyzing into formerly unknown elements the material combination which no
dialectic of the Scholastic's could force a part it is linked in life it is
mitigated pain it has extinguished diseases it has increased the fatality
of the soil it has given new securities to the mariner and has spanned great
rivers with bridges of form unknown to our fathers it has guided the
thunderbolt from heaven to earth it has lighted up night with the splendour of
day it has extended the range of human vision
has multiplied the power of the human muscles is accelerated motion it has
annihilated distance it has facilitated intercourse correspondence all friendly
offices all dispatch of business it has enabled men to descend into the depths
of the sea to soar into the air to penetrate securely into the noxious

recesses of the earth this then is the true nature and scope of induction but
the greater success which men have achieved and the inductive science the
more does the whole tenor of their teachings and examples impress us with a
necessity of observing carefully patiently accurately with all the
instruments and resources at our command the individual facts before venturing
upon a statement of General Laws to ascertain the bearing of the spark of
dawn from the electric machine under every variety of circumstances that lead
us may be emboldened with Franklin to address and the form of a kite the
question to the cloud about the nature of the lightning to assure ourselves of
the manner in which bodies fall with the exactness of Galileo that with Newton we
may dare to ask the moon about the force that fastens it to the earth in short by
the value we set upon truth by our hope and a steady and universal progress not
to permit a tyrannical prejudice to neglect or mutilate unwelcome facts but
to rear the superstructure of science upon the broad and unchangeable bias a
full attention paid to the most isolated as well as the most frequent phenomena
an ever increasing material may be collected by the observation but the
accumulated facts are a very different value for the explanation of nature as
we esteem most highly these useful qualities of men which are of the rarest
occurrence so does natural philosophy sift effects and attach a preeminent
importance to the striking class which cannot be accounted for by the usual
and daily observation of life if then we find that certain person seemed to
possess unusual power what are we to conclude first we may say it is not so
the master key system Charles F. Haanel law of attraction
which is simply an acknowledgement of our lack of information because every
honest investigator admits that there are many strange and previously
unaccountable phenomena constantly taking place those however who become
acquainted with the creative power of thought will no longer consider them
unaccountable second we may say that there are the results of supernatural
interference but a scientific understanding of natural laws will
convince us that there is nothing supernatural every phenomenon is the
result of an accurate definite cause and the cause is an immutable law or
principle which operates with invariable precision whether the law is put into
operation consciously or unconsciously
third we may say that we are on forbidden ground that there are some
things which we should not know the subjection used against every advance in
human knowledge every individual who ever advanced a new idea whether a
Columbus a Darwin a Galileo a Fulton or an Emerson was subjected to ridicule or
persecution so that this objection should receive no serious consideration
but on the contrary we should carefully consider every fact which is brought to
our attention by doing this we will more readily ascertain the law upon which it
is based it'll be found that the creative power
of thought will explain every possible condition or experience whether physical
mental or spiritual thought will bring about conditions in
correspondence with the predominant mental attitude therefore if we fear
disaster as fear as a possible form of thought disaster will be the certain
result of our thinking it is this form of thought which frequently sweeps away
the master key system Charles F. Haanel law of attraction
the results of many years of toil and effort if we think of some form of
material wealth we may secure it by concentrated thought that required
conditions will be brought about and the proper effort put forth which will
result in bringing about the circumstances necessary to realize our
desires but we often find that when we secure the things we thought we wanted
they do not have the effect we expected that is the satisfaction is only
temporary or possibly is the reverse of what we expected what then is the proper
method of procedure what are we to think in order to secure what we really desire
what you and I desire what we all desire what everyone is seeking is happiness
and harmony if we can be truly happy we shall have everything the world can give
if we are happy ourselves we can make others happy but we cannot be happy
unless we have health strength congenial friends pleasant environment sufficient
supply not only to take care of necessities but to provide those
comforts and luxuries to which we are entitled the old Orthodox way of
thinking was to be a worm to be satisfied with our portion whatever it
is but the modern idea is to know that we are entitled to the best of
everything that the father and I are one and that the father is the universal
mind the creator the original substance from which all things proceed now
admitting that his is all true in theory and that has been taught for 2,000 years
and is the essence of every system of philosophy or religion how are we to
make it practical in our lives how would he get the actual tangible
results here and now in the first place we must put our knowledge into practice
the master key system Charles F. Haanel "law of attraction"
nothing can be accomplished in any other way the athlete may read books and
lessons on physical training all his life but unless he begins to give out
strength by actual work he will never receive any strength you will eventually
get exactly what he gives but he will have to give it first it is exactly the
same way with us we will get exactly what we give but we shall have to give
it first it will then return to us many fold and the giving is supply a mental
process because thoughts are causes and conditions are effects therefore and
giving thoughts of courage inspiration health or help of any kind we are
setting causes of motion which will bring about their effect thought is a
spiritual activity and is therefore creative but make no mistake thought
will create nothing unless it is consciously systematically and
constructively directed and herein is the difference between idle thinking
which is simply a dissipation of effort and constructive thinking which means
practically unlimited achievement we have found that everything we get comes
to us by the law of attraction a happy thought cannot exist in an unhappy
consciousness therefore the consciousness must change and as the
consciousness changes all conditions necessary to meet the change
consciousness must gradually change in order to meet the requirement of the new
situation in creating a mental image or an ideal we are projecting a thought
into the universal substance from which all things are created this universal
"the master key system" Charles F. Haanel law of attraction
substance is omnipresent omnipotent and omniscient are we to inform the
omniscient as to the proper channel to be used to materialize our demand
can the finite advise the infinite this is the cause of failure of every failure
we recognize the omnipresence of the universal substance we fail to
appreciate the fact the substance is not only omnipresent but is omnipotent and
omniscient and consequently we'll set causes and motion concerning which we
may be entirely ignorant we can best conserve our interests by recognizing
the infinite power and infinite wisdom of the universal mind and in this way
become a channel whereby the infinite can bring about the realization of our
desire this means the recognition brings about realization therefore for your
exercise this week make use of the principle recognize the fact that you
are part of the whole and that a part must be the same in kind and quality as
the whole the only difference there can possibly be is in degree when this
tremendous fact begins to permeate your consciousness when you really come into
realization of the fact that you not your body but the ego the eye the spirit
which thinks is an integral part of the great whole that it is the same in
substance and quality and kind that the creator could create nothing different
from himself you will also be able to say the father and I are one and you'll
come into an understanding of the beauty the grandeur the transcendental
opportunities which been placed at your disposal increased me in that wisdom
which discovers my truest interest strengthen my resolution to perform that
which wisdom dictates Benjamin Franklin you
