the kind of deity which a man consciously or unconsciously worships
indicates the intellectual status of the worshipper asked the Indian of God and
he will describe to you a powerful chieftain of a glorious tribe asked the
pagan of God and he will tell you of a God of fire a God of water a God of this
that and the other ask the israelite of god and he will
tell you of the god of moses who conceived it expedient to rule by
coercive measures hence the ten commandments or of Joshua
who led the Israelites into battle confiscated property murdered the
prisoners and laid waste to cities the so called heathen made graven images of
their gods whom they were accustomed to worship but among the most intelligent
at least these images were but the visible fulcrums with which they were
enabled to mentally concentrate on the qualities which they desired to
externalize in their lives we have the 21st century worship a God of love in
theory but in practice we make for ourselves graven images of wealth power
fashion custom and conventionality we fall down before them and worship them
we concentrate on them and they are thereby externalized in our lives the

student who masters the contents of part 17 will not mistake the symbols for the
reality he will be interested in causes rather than effects he will concentrate
on the realities of life and will then not be disappointed in the results we
are told that man has dominion over all things this Dominion is established
through mind thought is the activity which controls every principle beneath
it the highest principle by reason of its superior essence and qualities
necessarily determines the circumstances aspects and relation of everything with
which it comes in contact the vibrations of mental forces are the
finest and consequently the most powerful in existence to those who
perceive the nature and transcendency of mental force all physical power sinks
into insignificance we are accustomed to look upon the universe with a lens of
five senses and from these experiences our anthropomorphic conceptions
originate but true conceptions are only secured by spiritual insight this
insight requires a quickening of the vibrations of the mind and is only
secured when the mind is continuously concentrated in a given direction
continuous concentration means an even unbroken flow of thought and is the
result of patient persistent persevering and well regulated system great
discoveries are the result of long continued investigation the science of
mathematics requires years of concentrated effort to master it and the
greatest science that of the mind is revealed only through concentrated
effort concentration is much misunderstood there seems to be an idea
of effort or activity associated with it when just the contrary is necessary the
greatness of an actor lies in the fact that he forgets himself and the
the master key system Charles f. haanel part 17 "law of attraction"
portrayal of his character becoming so identified with it that the audience is
swayed by the realism of the performance this will give you a good idea of true
concentration you should be so interested in your thought so engrossed
in your subject as to become conscious of nothing else such concentration leads
to intuitive perception and immediate insight into the nature of the object
concentrated upon all knowledge is the result of concentration of this kind it
is thus that the secrets of heaven and earth have been rested it is thus that
the mind becomes a magnet and the desire to know
draws the knowledge irresistible attracts it makes it your own desire is
largely subconscious conscious desire rarely realizes its object when the
latter is out of immediate reach subconscious desire arouses the latent
faculties of the mind and difficult problems seem to solve themselves the
subconscious mind may be aroused and brought into action in any direction and
made to serve us for any purpose by concentration the practice of
concentration requires the control of the physical mental and physical being
all modes of consciousness whether physical mental or physical must be
under control spiritual truth is therefore the
controlling factor it is this which will enable you to grow out of limited
attainment and reach a point where you will be able to translate modes of
thought into character and consciousness concentration does not mean mere
thinking of thoughts but the transmutation of these thoughts into
practical values the average person has no conception of the meaning of
concentration there is always the cry to have but never the cry to be they fail
the master key system Charles f. haanel part 17 law of attraction
to understand that they cannot have one without the other that they must first
find the kingdom before they can have the things at it momentary enthusiasm is
of no value it is only with unbounded self-confidence that the goal is reached
the mind may place the ideal a little too high and fall short of the mark
it may attempt to soar on untrained wings and instead of flying fall to
earth but that is no reason for not making another attempt
weakness is the only barrier to mental attainment attribute your weakness to
physical limitations or mental uncertainties and try again ease and
perfection are gained by repetition the astronomer centers his mind on the Stars
and they give forth their secrets the geologist centers his mind on the
construction of the earth and we have geology so with all things men's Center
their minds on the problems of life and the result is apparent in the vast and
complex social order of the day all mental Discovery Entertainment are the
result of desire plus concentration desire is the strongest mode of action
the more persistent the desire the more authoritative the revelation desire
added to concentration will wrench any secret from nature in realizing great
thoughts and experiencing great emotions that correspond with great thoughts the
mind is in a state where it appreciates the value of higher things the intensity
of one moments earnest concentration and the intense longing to become and to
the master key system Charles f. haanel part 17 law of attraction
attain may take you further than years of slow normal and forced effort it will
unfasten the prison bars of unbelief weakness impotence and self belittlement
and you will come into a realization of the joy of overcoming the spirit of
initiative and originality is developed through persistence and continuity of
mental effort business teaches the value of concentration and encourages decision
of character it develops practical insight and quickness of conclusion the
mental element in every commercial pursuit is dominant as the controlling
factor and desire is the predominating force all commercial relations are the
externalization of desire many of these sturdy and substantial
virtues are developed in commercial employment the mind is steadied and
directed it becomes efficient the principal necessity is the strengthening
of the mind so that it rises superior to the distractions and wayward impulses of
instinctive life and thus successfully overcomes in the conflict between the
higher and lower self all of us are dynamos but the Dynamo of itself is
nothing the mind must work the Dynamo then it is useful and its energy can be
definitely concentrated the mind is an engine whose power is undreamed thought
is an omni working power it is the ruler and creator of all form and all events
occurring in form physical energy is nothing in comparison with the
omnipotence of thought because thought enables man to harness all other natural
power vibration is the action of thought it is vibration which reaches out and
"the master key system" Charles f. haanel part 17 law of attraction
attracts the material necessary to construct and build there is nothing
mysterious concerning the power of thought concentration simply implies
that consciousness can be focalized to the point where it becomes identified
with the object of its attention as food absorbed is the essence of the body so
the mind absorbs the object of its attention gives it life and being if you
concentrate on some matter of importance the intuitive power will be set in
operation and help will come in the nature of information which will lead to
success intuition arrives at conclusions without
the aid of experience or memory intuition often solves problems that are
beyond the grasp of the reasoning power intuition often comes with a suddenness
that is startling it reveals the truth for which we are searching so directly
that it seems to come from a higher power
intuition can be cultivated and developed in order to do this it must be
recognized and appreciated if the intuitive visitor is given a royal
welcome when he comes he will come again the more cordial the welcome the more
frequent his visits will become but if he is ignored or neglected he will make
his visits few and far apart intuition usually comes in the silence
great minds seek solitude frequently it is here that all the larger problems of
life are worked out for this reason every businessman who can afford it has
a private office where he will not be disturbed if you cannot afford a private
office you can at least find somewhere where you can be alone a few minutes
each day to train the thought along lines which will enable you to develop
that invincible power which is necessary to achieve remember that fundamentally
the master key system Charles f. haanel part 17 "law of attraction"
the subconscious is omnipotent there is no limit to the things that can be done
when it is given the power to act your degree of success is determined by the
nature of your desire if the nature of your desire is in harmony with natural
law or the universal mind it will gradually emancipate the mind and give
you invincible courage every obstacle conquered every victory gained will give
you more faith in your power and you will have greater ability to win your
strength is determined by your mental attitude if this attitude is one of
success and is permanently held with an unswerving purpose you will attract to
you from the invisible domain the things you silently demand by keeping the
thought in mind it will gradually take tangible form a definite purpose sets
causes in motion which go out in the invisible world and find the material
necessary to serve your purpose you may be pursuing the symbols of power
instead of power itself you may be pursuing Fame instead of honor riches
instead of wealth position instead of servitude in either event you will find
that they turn to ashes just as you overtake them premature wealth or
position cannot be retained because it has not been earned we get only what we
give and those who try to get without giving always find that the law of
compensation is relentlessly bringing about an exact equilibrium the race has
usually been for money and other mere symbols of power but with an
understanding of the true source of power we can afford to ignore the
symbols the man with the large bank account finds it unnecessary to load his
the master key system Charles f. haanel part 17 law of attraction
pockets down with gold so would the man who has found the true source of power
he is no longer interested in its shams or pretensions thought ordinarily leads
outwardly in evolutionary directions but it can be turned within where it will
take hold of the basic principles of things the heart of things the spirit of
things when you get to the heart of things it is comparatively easy to
understand and command them this is because the spirit of a thing is the
thing itself the vital part of it the real substance the form is simply the
outward manifestation of the spiritual activity within
for your exercise this week concentrate as nearly as possible in accordance with
the method outlined in this lesson let there be no conscious effort or activity
associated with your purpose relax completely avoid any thought of anxiety
as to results remember that power comes through repose let the thought dwell
upon your object until it is completely identified with it until you are
conscious of nothing else if you wish to eliminate fear concentrate on courage if
you wish to eliminate lack concentrate on abundance if you wish to eliminate
disease concentrate on health always concentrate on the ideal as an already
existing fact this is the germ cell the life principle which goes forth and sets
in motion those causes which guide direct and bring about the necessary
relation which eventually manifest in form thought is the property of those
only who can entertain it Ralph Waldo Emerson
