the master key system part 14 you have found from your study thus far that
thought is a spiritual activity and is therefore endowed with creative power
this does not mean that some thought is creative but all thought is creative
same principle can be brought into operation in a negative way to the
process of denial the conscious and subconscious are about two phases of
action and connection with one mind the relation of the subconscious to the
conscious is quite analogous to the existing between a weathervane and the
atmosphere just as the least pressure of the atmosphere causes an action on the
part of the weathervane so does the least thought entertain by the conscious
mind produced within your subconscious mind action an exact proportion to the
depth of feeling characterizing the thought and the intensity with which the
thought is indulged it follows that if you deny unsatisfactory conditions
you're withdrawing the creative power of your thought from these conditions you
are cutting them away at the root you are sapping their vitality remember that
the law of growth necessarily governs every manifestation and the objective so
that a denial of unsatisfactory conditions will not bring about instant
change a plant will remain visible for some time after its roots have been cut
but it will gradually fade away and eventually disappear so the withdrawal
of your thought from the contemplation of unsatisfactory conditions will
"the master key system" Charles f. haanel part fourteen "law of attraction"
gradually but surely terminate these conditions
you will see that this is an exactly opposite course from the one which we
would naturally be inclined to adopt it will therefore have an exactly opposite
effect to the one usually secured most persons concentrate intently upon
unsatisfactory conditions thereby giving the conditions that measure of energy
and vitality which is necessary in order to supply a vigorous growth the
universal energy in which all motion light heat and color have their origin
does not partake of the limitation of the many effects of which it is the
cause but it is the supreme over them all this universal substances the source
of all power wisdom and intelligence to recognize this intelligence is to
acquaint yourself with the knowing quality of mine and through it to move
upon the universal substance and bring it into harmonious relations and your
affairs this is something that the most learned physical science teacher has not
attempted a field of discovery upon which he has not yet launched in fact
but few of the materialistic schools have ever caught the first ray of this
light does not seem to have dawned upon them that wisdom is just as much present
everywhere as our force and substance some will say if these principles are
true why are we not demonstrating them as the fundamental principle is
obviously correct why do we not get proper results we do we get results in
exact accordance with our understanding of the law and our ability to make the
proper application we secure no results from the laws governing electricity
until someone formulated the law and showed us how to apply it this puts us
the master key system Charles f. haanel part fourteen law of attraction
in an entirely new relation to our environment opening up possibilities
previously undreamed-of and this by an orderly sequence of law which is
naturally involved in our new mental attitude
mine is creative and the principle upon which this law is based is sound and
legitimate and is inherent in the nature of things but this creative power does
not originate in the individual but in the universal which is the source and
fountain of all energy and substance the individual is simply the channel for the
distribution of this energy the individual is the means by which the
universal produces the various combinations which result in the
formation of phenomena we know that scientists have resolved matter into an
immense number of molecules these molecules have been resolved into atoms
and the atoms into electrons the discovery of electrons and high vacuum
glass tubes containing fused terminals of hard metal indicates conclusively
that these electrons fill all space that they exist everywhere that they are
omnipresent they fill all material bodies and occupy the whole of what we
call empty space this then is the universal substance from which all
things proceed electrons would forever remain electrons unless directed where
to go to be assembled into atoms and molecules and this director is mind a
number of electrons resolving around a center of force constitutes an atom
atoms unite and absolutely regular mathematical ratios and form molecules
and these unite with each other to form a multitude of compounds which unite to
build the universe the lightest known atom is hydrogen and
this is 1700 times heavier than an electron an atom of mercury is 300,000
times heavier than an electron electrons are pure negative electricity and as
they have the same potential velocity as all other cosmic energy such as heat
light electricity and thought one hundred and eighty nine thousand three
hundred and eighty miles per second neither time nor space requires
the master key system Charles f. haanel part fourteen law of attraction
consideration the manner in which the velocity of light was ascertained as
interesting the velocity of light was attained by the Danish astronomer Romer
in 1676 by observing the eclipses of Jupiter's moon when the earth was
nearest to Jupiter the Eclipse appeared about 8 and 1/2 minutes too soon for the
calculations and when the earth was most remote from Jupiter they were about 8
and 1/2 minutes too late Rohmer concluded the reason to be that
it required 17 minutes for light from the planet to traverse the diameter of
Earth's orbit which measured the difference of the distance of the Earth
from Jupiter this calculation has since been verified and proves that light
travels about 186,000 miles a second electrons manifests in the body of cells
and possess mind and intelligence sufficient for them to perform their
functions in the human physical anatomy every part of the body is composed of
cells some which operate independently others and communities
some are busy building tissue while others are engaged in forming the
various secretions necessary for the body some act as carriers of material
others are the surgeons whose work it is to repair damage others are scavengers
carrying off waste others are constantly ready to repel invaders or other
undesirable intruders of the germ family all these cells are moving for a common
purpose and each one is not only a living organism but as sufficient
the master key system Charles f. haanel part fourteen law of attraction
intelligence to enable it to perform its necessary duties it is also endowed with
sufficient intelligence to conserve the energies and perpetuate its own life it
must therefore secure sufficient nourishment and has been found that it
exercises choice in the selection of such nourishment each cell is born
reproduces itself dies and is absorbed the maintenance of health and life
itself depends upon the constant regeneration of these cells
it is therefore apparent that there is mind in every atom of the body this mind
is negative mind and the power of the individual to think makes them positive
so that they can control this negative mind this is the scientific explanation
for metaphysical healing and will enable anyone to understand the principle upon
which this remarkable phenomenon rests this negative mind which is contained in
every cell of the body has been called the subconscious mind because it acts
without our conscious knowledge we have found that the subconscious mind is
responsive to the will of the conscious mind all things have their origin in
mind and appearances are the result of thought so that we see the things in
themselves have no origin permanency or reality since they are produced by
thought they can be erased by thought and mental as a natural science
experiments are being made and each discovery lifts man one step higher
towards his possible goal we find that every man is the reflection of the
thought he has entertained during his lifetime
is the stamped on his face his form his character his environment back of every
effect there is a cause and if we follow the trail to its starting point we shall
find the creative principle out of which it grew proofs of this are now so
complete that this truth is generally accepted the objective world was
controlled by an unseen and heretofore unexplainable power we have heretofore
personalized this power and called it God we have now however learned to look
upon it as the permeating essence or principle of all that exists the
infinite or universal mind the universal mind being infinite and omnipotent has
unlimited resources at its command and we remember that it is also omnipresent
the master key system Charles f. haanel part fourteen law of attraction
we cannot escape the conclusion that we must be an expression or manifestation
of that mind a recognition and understanding of the resources of the
subconscious mind will indicate that the only difference between the subconscious
and the universal is one of degree they differ only as a drop of water differs
from the ocean they are the same and kind and quality the difference is one
of degree only do you can you appreciate the value of all this important fact do
you realize that a recognition of this tremendous fact places you in touch with
the omnipotence the subconscious mind being the connecting link between the
universal mind and the conscious mind is it not evident that the conscious mind
can consciously suggest thoughts which the subconscious mind will put into
action and as the subconscious mind is one with the universal is it not evident
a no limit can be placed upon its activities
a scientific understanding of this principle will explain the wonderful
results which are secured through the power of prayer
the results are secured in this way are not brought about by any special
dispensations of providence but on the contrary their result of the operation
of a perfectly natural law there is therefore nothing either religious or
mysterious about it yet there are many who are not ready to enter into the
discipline necessary to think correctly even though it is evident that wrong
the master key system Charles f. haanel part fourteen law of attraction
thinking has brought failure thought is the only reality conditions are but the
outward manifestations as the thought changes all outward or material
conditions must change in order to be in harmony with their creator which is
thought but the thought must be clear-cut steady fixed definite
unchangeable you cannot take one step forward and two steps backward neither
can you spend twenty or thirty years of your life building up negative
conditions as the result of negative thoughts and then expect to see them all
melt away as the result of 15 or 20 minutes of right thinking if you enter
into the discipline necessary to bring about a radical change in your life you
must do so deliberately after giving the matter careful thought and full
consideration and then you must allow nothing to interfere with your decision
this discipline is change of thought this mental attitude will not only bring
you the material things which are necessary for your highest and best
welfare but will bring health and harmonious conditions generally if you
wish harmonious conditions in your life must develop a harmonious mental
attitude your world without will be a reflection of your world within
for your exercise this week concentrate on harmony and when I say concentrate I
mean all that the word implies concentrate so deeply so earnestly that
you'll be conscious of nothing but harmony remember we learn by doing
reading these lessons will get you nowhere it is in the practical
application that the value consists learn to keep the door shut keep out of
your mind and out of your world every element of seeks of minutes with no
definite helpful end in view George Matthew Adams
