- 0:06Mind, Law of attraction, and the World without is a reflection of the
- 0:10world within. Introduction to Part one. It is my privilege to enclose herewith
- 0:16weak one of the Master Key System. Would you bring into your life more
- 0:20power? Get the power, consciousness, more health, get the health,
- 0:26consciousness, more happiness, get the happiness. Consciousness, lie the spirit of
- 0:33these things until they become yours by right. It will then become impossible to
- 0:38keep them from you. The things of the world are fluid to a power
- 0:42within man by which he rules them. You need not acquire this power.
- 0:48You already have it. But you want to understand it. You want to
- 0:52use it. You want to control it. You want to impregnate yourself with
- 0:56it, so that you can go forward and carry the world before you day
- 1:00by day. As you go on and on, as you gain momentum,
- 1:03as your inspiration deepens, as your plans crystallize, as you gain understanding,
- 1:08you will come to realize that this world is no dead pile of stones and
- 1:11timber, but that it is a living thing. It is made up of
- 1:15the beating hearts of humanity. It is a thing of life and beauty.
- 1:21It is evident that it requires understanding to work with material of this description.
- 1:26But those who come into this understanding are inspired by a new light, a
- 1:30new force. They gain confidence and greater power. Each day they realize their
- 1:36hopes and their dreams come true. Life has a deeper, fuller, clearer
- 1:42meaning than before Part one. That much gathers more is true on every plane
- 1:48of existence, and that loss leads to greater loss is equally true. Mind
- 1:53is creative conditions, environment, and all experiences in life are the result of
- 1:59our habitual or predominant mental attitude. The attitude of mind necessarily depends upon what
- 2:06we think. Therefore, the secret of all power, all achievement, and
- 2:10all possession depends upon our method of thinking. This is true because we must
- 2:15be before we can do, and we can do only to the extent which
- 2:19we are, and what we are depends upon what we think. We cannot
- 2:23express powers that we do not possess. The only way by which we may
- 2:28secure possession of power is to become conscious of power. We can never become
- 2:32conscious of power until we learn that all power is from within. There is
- 2:38a world within a world of thought and feeling and power of light and life
- 2:42and beauty. And although invisible, its forces are mighty. The world within
- 2:47is governed by mind. When we discover this world, we shall find the
- 2:52solution for every problem, the cause for every effect. Since the world within
- 2:58is subject to our control, all law, laws of power and possession are
- 3:00also within our control. The world without is a reflection of the world within.
- 3:07What appears without is what has been found within. In the world within
- 3:10may be found infinite wisdom, infinite power, infinite supply of all that is
- 3:15necessary waiting for unfoldment, development, and expression. If we recognize these potentialities
- 3:23in the world within, they will take form in the world without. Harmony
- 3:27in the world within will be reflected in the world without by harmonious conditions,
- 3:30agreeable surroundings, the best of everything. It is the foundation of health and
- 3:36a necessary essential to all greatness, all power, all attainment, all achievement,
- 3:40and all success. Harmony in the world within means the ability to control
- 3:46our thoughts and to determine for ourselves how any experience is to affect us.
- 3:52Harmony in the world within results in optimism and affluence. Affluence within results in
- 3:57affluence without. The world without reflects the circumstances and the conditions of the consciousness
- 4:03within. If we find wisdom in the world within, we shall have the
- 4:08understanding to discern the marvelous possibilities that are latent in this world within, and
- 4:13we shall be given the power to make these possibilities manifest in the world without.
- 4:17As we become conscious of the wisdom in the world within, we mentally
- 4:20take possession of this wisdom, And by taking mental possession, we come into
- 4:25actual possession of the power and wisdom necessary to bring into manifestation the essentials necessary
- 4:30for our most complete and harmonious development. The world within is the practical world
- 4:35in which the men and women of power generate the courage, hope, enthusiasm,
- 4:41confidence, trust, and faith by which they are given the fine intelligence
- 4:45to see the vision and the practical skill to make the vision real. Life
- 4:49is an unfoldment, not an accretion. What comes to us in the world
- 4:54without is what we already possess in the world within. All possession is based
- 4:59on consciousness. All gain is the result of an accumulative consciousness. All loss
- 5:05is the result of a scattering consciousness. Mental efficiency is contingent upon harmony,
- 5:13discord, means confusion. Therefore, he who would acquire power must be in
- 5:17harmony with natural law. We are related to the world without by the objective
- 5:23mind. The brain is the organ of this mind, and the cerebrospinal system
- 5:28of nerves puts us in conscious communication with every part of the body. This
- 5:32system of nerves responds to every sensation of light, heat, odor, sound,
- 5:38and taste. When this mind thinks correctly, when it understands the truth.
- 5:43When the thoughts sent through the cerebrospinal nervous system to the body are constructive,
- 5:47these sensations are pleasant, harmonious. The result is that we build strength,
- 5:54vitality, and all constructive forces into our body. But it is through
- 5:59the same objective mind that all distress, sickness, lack limitation, and every
- 6:03form of discord and in harmony are admitted to our lives. It is therefore,
- 6:09through the objective mind, by wrong thinking, that we are related to
- 6:13all destructive forces. We are related to the world within by the subconscious mind.
- 6:18The solar plexus is the organ of this mind. The sympathetic system of
- 6:24nerves presides over all subjective sensations such as joy, fear, love, emotion,
- 6:30respiration, imagination, and all other subconscious phenomena. It is through the
- 6:35subconscious that we are connected with the universal mind and brought into relation with the
- 6:40infinite constructive forces of the universe. It is the coordination of these two centers
- 6:45of our being and the understanding of their functions, which is the great secret
- 6:48of life. With this knowledge, we can bring the objective and subjective minds
- 6:54into conscious cooperation and thus coordinate the finite and the infinite nature is entirely within
- 7:00our own control. It is not at the mercy of any capricious or uncertain
- 7:05external power. All agree that there is but one principle or consciousness, pervading
- 7:11the entire universe, occupying all space, and being essentially the same in kind
- 7:15at every point of its presence. It is all powerful, all wisdom,
- 7:20and always present. All thoughts and things are within itself. It is all
- 7:27in all. There is but one consciousness in the universe, able to think,
- 7:30and when it thinks, its thoughts become objective things to it. As
- 7:34this consciousness is omnipresent, it must be present within every individual. Each individual
- 7:40must be a manifestation of that omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent consciousness. As
- 7:46there is only one consciousness in the universe that is able to think, it
- 7:49necessarily follows that your consciousness is identical with the universal consciousness, or in other
- 7:55words, all mind is one mind. There is no dodging this can The
- 8:01consciousness that focuses in your brain cells is the same consciousness which focuses in the
- 8:05brain cells of every other individual. Each individual is but the individualization of the
- 8:11universal, the cosmic mind. The universal mind is static or potential energy.
- 8:18It simply is. It can manifest only through the individual, and the individual
- 8:24can manifest only through the universal. They are one. The ability of the
- 8:30individual to think is his ability to act on the universal and bring it into
- 8:33manifestation. Human consciousness consists only in the ability of man to think. Walker
- 8:41says, mind in itself is believed to be a subtle form of static energy,
- 8:45from which arises the activities called thought, which is the dynamic phase of
- 8:50mind. Mind is static energy, Thought is dynamic energy, the two phases
- 8:54of the same thing. Thought is therefore the vibratory force formed by converting static
- 9:01mind into dynamic mind. As the sum of all attributes is contained in the
- 9:05universal mind, which is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. These attributes must be
- 9:11present at all times in their potential form in every individual. Therefore, when
- 9:16the individual thinks, the thought is compelled by its nature to embody itself in
- 9:22an objectivity or condition which will correspond with its origin. Every thought, therefore
- 9:28is a cause and every condition and effect. For this reason, it is
- 9:31absolutely essential that you control your thoughts so as to bring forth only desirable conditions.
- 9:37All power is from within and is absolutely under your control. It comes
- 9:43through exact knowledge and by the voluntary exercises of exact principles. It should be
- 9:48plain that when you acquire a thorough understanding of this law and are able to
- 9:52control your thought processes, you can apply it to any condition. In other
- 9:56words, you will have come into conscious cod operation with omnipotent law, which
- 10:01is the fundamental basis of all things. The universal mind is the life principle
- 10:07of every atom which is in existence. Every atom is continually striving to manifest
- 10:11more life. All are intelligent, and all are seeking to carry out the
- 10:16purpose for which they were created. A majority of mankind lives in the world
- 10:20without few have found the world within, and yet it is the world within
- 10:24that makes the world without. It is therefore creative, and everything which you
- 10:28find in your world without has been created by you in the world within.
- 10:33This system will bring you into a realization of power, which will be yours
- 10:35when you understand this relation between the world without and the world within. The
- 10:41world within is the cause, the world without the effect. To change the
- 10:46effect, you must change the cause. You will at once see that this
- 10:50is a radically new and different idea. Most men try to change effects by
- 10:54working with effects. They fail to see that this is simply changed one form
- 11:00of distress for another. To remove discord, we must remove the cause,
- 11:05and this cause can be found only in the world within. All growth is
- 11:09from within. This is evident in all nature. Every plant, every animal,
- 11:16every human is a living testimony to this great law. And the error
- 11:20of the ages is in looking for strength or power from without. The world
- 11:24within is the universal fountain of supply, and the world without is the outlet
- 11:28to the stream. Our ability to receive depends upon our recognition of this universal
- 11:35fountain, this infinite energy, of which each individual is an outlet, and
- 11:39so is one with every other individual. Recognition is a mental process. Mental
- 11:46action is therefore the interaction of the individual upon a universal mind, and as
- 11:50the universal mind is the intelligence which pervades all space and animates all living things.
- 11:56This mental action and reaction is the law of causation. But the print
- 12:00snciple of causation does not obtain in the individual, but in the universal mind.
- 12:05It is not an objective faculty, but a subjective process, and the
- 12:07results are seen in an infinite variety of conditions and experiences. In order to
- 12:13express life, there must be mind. Nothing can exist without mind. Everything
- 12:18which exists is some manifestation of this one basic substance from which and by which
- 12:24all things have been created and are continually being recreated. We live in a
- 12:28fathomless sea of plastic mind substance. This substance is ever alive and active.
- 12:35It is sensitive to the highest degree. It takes form according to the mental
- 12:39demand. Thought forms the mold or matrix from which the substance expresses. Remember
- 12:46that it is in the application alone that the value consists, and that a
- 12:50practical understanding of this law will substitute abundance for poverty, wisdom for ignorance,
- 12:56harmony for discord, and freedom for tyranny. And so certainly there can be
- 13:00no greater blessing than these from a material and social standpoint. Now make the
- 13:05application. Select a room where you can be alone and undisturbed. Sit erect
- 13:11comfortably, but do not lounge. Let your thoughts roam where they will,
- 13:16but be perfectly still for fifteen minutes to half an hour. Continue this for
- 13:20three or four days, or for a week, until you secure full control
- 13:24of your physical being. Many will find this extremely difficult, others will conquer
- 13:30with ease, but it is absolutely essential to secure complete control of the body
- 13:33before you are ready to progress. Next week you will receive instructions for the
- 13:39next step. In the meantime, you must have mastered this one.
