law of attraction the master key system Charles f. haanel part eleven
the master key system part 11 the life is governed by law by actual immutable
principles that never vary laws in operation at all times in all places
ficks laws underlie all human actions for this reason men who control giant
industries aren't able to determine with absolute precision
just what percentage of every hundred thousand people will respond to any
given set of conditions it is well however to remember that while every
effect is the result of a cause the effect in turn becomes a cause which
creates other effects which in turn creates still other causes so that when
you put the law of attraction into operation you must remember that you
were starting a train of causation for good or otherwise which may have endless
possibilities we frequently hear it said a very distressing situation came into
my life which could not have been the result of my thought as I certainly
never entertained any thought which could have such result we fail to
remember that like attracts like in the mental world and that thought which we
entertain brings to us certain friendships companionships of a
"law of attraction" the master key system Charles f. haanel part eleven
particular kind and these in turn bring about conditions an environment which in
turn are responsible for the conditions of which we complain inductive reasoning
is the process of the objective mind by which we compare a number of separate
instances with one another until we see the common factor that gives rise to the
mall induction proceeds by comparison of facts it is this method of studying
nature which has resulted in the discovery of a reign of law which has
marked an epoch and human progress it is the dividing line between superstition
and intelligence it has eliminated the elements of uncertainty and Caprice for
men's lives and substituted law reason certitude it is the watchman at the gate
mentioned in the former lesson when by virtue of this principle the world to
which the senses were accustom had been revolutionized when the son had been
arrested in this course the apparently flat earth had been shaped into a ball
and set whirling around him when the inner matter had been resolved into
active elements and the universe presented itself wherever we directed
the telescope and microscope full of force motion and life we are constrained
to ask by what possible means the delicate forms of organization and the
midst of it are kept in order and repair like poles and like forces repel
law of attraction "the master key system" Charles f. haanel part eleven
themselves or remain impenetrable to each other and this cause seems in
general sufficient to assign a proper place and distance to stars men and
forces as men of different virtues and turn to partnership so do opposite poles
attract each other elements that have no property in common like acids and gases
cling to each other in preference and a general exchange is kept up between the
surplus and the demand as the eye seeks and receives satisfaction from colors
complimentary to those which are given so does need want and desire and the
largest sense induced guide and determine action it is our privilege to
become conscious of the principle and act in accordance with it Cuvier sees a
tooth belonging to an extinct race of animals this tooth wants a body for the
performance of its functions and it defines the peculiar body it stands in
need of with such precision that Cuvier is able to reconstruct the frame of this
animal perturbations are observed in the motion
of Uranus levare needs another star at a certain place to keep the solar system
in order and Neptune appears in the place and our appointed the instinctive
wants the animal and the intellectual wants of Cuvier the wants of nature and
of the mind of levare were alike and thus the results here the thoughts of an
existence there and existence a well-defined lawful want

therefore furnishes the reason for the more complex operation of nature having
recorded correctly the answers furnished by nature and stretch our senses with
the growing science over her surface having joined hands with the levers that
moved the earth who become conscious of such a closed buried and deep contact
with the world without that our wants and purposes become no less identified
with the harmonious operations of this vast organization than the life liberty
and happiness of the citizen is identified with the existence of his
government as the interests of the individual are protected by the arms of
the country added to his own and his needs may depend upon certain supply in
the degree that they are felt more universally and steadily in the same
manner does conscious citizenship and the Republic of nature secure us from
the annoyances of subordinate agents by alliance with superior powers and by the
appeal to the fundamental laws of resistance or inducement offered to
mechanical or chemical agents distribute the labor to be performed between them
and man to the best advantage of the inventor
if Plato could have witnessed the pictures executed by the Sun with the
assistance of the photographer or a hundred similar illustrations of what
man does by induction he would perhaps have been reminded of the intellectual
midwifery of his master and in his own mind might have arisen the vision of a
land or all manual mechanical labour and repetition as a sign to the power of
nature where our once are satisfied by purely mental operations set in motion
by the will and where the supply is created by the demand however discs that
the land may appear induction has taught men to make strides towards it and

surround him with benefits which are at the same time rewards for past fertility
and incentives for more assiduous devotion it is also an aid in
concentrating and strengthening our faculties for the remaining part giving
unerring solution for individual as well as universal problems by the mere
operation of mind in the purest form here we find a method the spirit of
which is to believe that what is sought has been accomplished in order to
accomplish it a method bequeathed the pond by the same Plato who outside of
the sphere could never find how the ideas became realities this conception
is also elaborated by Swedenborg and his doctrine of correspondences and a still
greater teacher has said what thing soever you desire when you pray believe
that ye received them he shall have them mark 11:24
the difference of the tenses in this passage is remarkable we are first to
believe that our desire has already been fulfilled its accomplishment will then
follow this is a concise direction for making use of the creative power of
thought by impressing on the universal subject of mind a particular thing which
we desire as an already existing fact we are thus thinking on the plane of the
absolute and eliminating all consideration of conditions or
limitation and are planting a seed which if left undisturbed will finally
germinate into external fruition to review inductive reasoning is the

process of the objective mind though which we compared a number of separate
instances with one another until we see the common factor that gives rise to
them all we see people in every civilized country on the globe securing
results by some process which they did not seem to understand themselves and to
which they usually attach more or less mystery our reason is given to us for
the purpose of ascertaining the law by which these results are accomplished the
operation of this thought process is seen in those fortunate nature's that
possess everything that others must acquire by toil who never have a
struggle with conscience because they always act correctly and never conduct
themselves otherwise then with tact learn everything easily complete
everything they begin with a happy neck live in eternal harmony with themselves
without ever reflecting much what they do or ever experiencing difficulty or
toil the fruit of this thought is as it were a gift of the gods but a gift which
few as yet realize appreciate or understand
the recognition of this marvelous power which is possessed by the mind under
proper conditions and the fact that this power can be utilized directed and made
available for the solution of every human problem is of transcendental
importance all truth is the same whether stated in modern scientific terms or in
the language of apostolate times there are timid souls who fail to realize that
the very completeness of truth requires various statement then no one human
formula will show every side of it changing emphasis new language novel
interpretations unfamiliar perspectives are not as some suppose signs of
law of attraction the master key system Charles f. haanel part eleven
departure from truth but on the contrary they are evidence that the truth is
being apprehended and new relations to human needs is becoming more generally
understood the truth must be told to each generation and to every people in
new and different terms so that when the great teacher said believe that she
received and you shall receive or when Paul said faith is the substance of
things hoped for the evidence of things not seen
where in modern science says the law of attraction is the law but which thought
correlates with its object each statement when subjected to
analysts is found to contain exactly the same truth the only difference being in
the form of presentation we are standing on the threshold of a new error the time
has arrived when man has learned the secrets of mastery and the way is being
prepared for a new social order more wonderful than anything every heretofore
dreamed of the conflict of modern science with theology the study of
comparative religions the tremendous power of new social movements all of
these are but clearing the way for the new order they may have destroyed
traditional forms which have become antiquated and impotent but nothing of
value has been lost a new faith has been born a faith which demands a new form of
expression and this faith is taking form in a deep consciousness of power which
is being manifested in the present spiritual activity found on every hand
the spirit which sleeps in the mineral breathes in the vegetable moves in the
animal and reaches its highest development and man is the universal
mind and it behooves us to span the gulf between being and doing theory and
practice by demonstrating our understanding of the Dominion which we
have been given by far the greatest discovery of all the centuries is the
power of thought the importance of this discovery has been a little slow and
reaching the general consciousness but it has arrived and already in every
field of research the importance of this greatest of all great discoveries is
"law of attraction" the master key system Charles f. haanel part eleven
being demonstrated
you ask in what does the creative power of thought consists it consists in
creating ideas and these in turn objectify themselves by appropriating
inventing observing discerning discovering analyzing ruling governing
combining and applying matter and force it can do this because it is an
intelligent creative power thought reaches its loftiest activity when
plunged into its own mysterious depths when it breaks through the narrow
compass of self and passes from truth to truth to the religion of eternal light
where all which is was or ever will be melt into one grand harmony from this
process of self contemplation comes inspiration which is creative
intelligence and which is undeniably superior to every element force or law
of nature because it can understand modify govern and apply them to its own
ends and purposes and therefore process them wisdom begins with the dawn of
reason and reason is but an understanding of the knowledge and
principles whereby we may know the true meaning of things wisdom then is
illuminated reason and this wisdom leads to humility for humility is a large part
of wisdom we all know many who have achieved the seemingly impossible who
law of attraction "the master key system" Charles f. haanel part eleven
have realized lifelong dreams who have changed everything including themselves
we have sometimes marveled at the demonstration of an apparently
irresistible power which seemed to be ever available just when it was most
needed but it is all clear now all that is required is an understanding of
certain definite fundamental principles and their proper application for your
exercise this week concentrate on the quotation taken from the Bible
whatsoever things you desire when you pray believe that ye receive them and ye
shall have them notice that there is no limitation whatsoever things is very
definite and implies the only limitation which is placed upon us as our ability
to think to be equal to the occasion to rise the emergency to remember that
faith is not a shadow but a substance the substance of things hoped for the
evidence of things not seen death is about the natural process whereby all
material forms are thrown into the crucible for reproduction in fresh
diversity
