The Master Key by Georg Erich Winter (poetry books to read .TXT) 📕

disease, from lack or
limitation of any kind; in fact, it enables you to breathe the "breath of life" into your own
nostrils.
26. This "breath of life" is a superconscious reality. It is the essence of the "I am." It is pure
"Being" or Universal Substance, and our conscious unity with it enables us to localize it, and
thus exercise the powers of this creative energy.
27. Thought is creative vibration and the quality of the conditions created will depend upon
the quality of our thought, because we cannot express powers which we do not possess. We
must "be" before we can "do" and we can "do" only to the extent to which we "are," and so
what we do will necessarily coincide with what we "are" and what we are depends upon what
we "think."
28. Every time you think you start a train of causation which will create a condition in strict
accordance with the quality of the thought which originated it. Thought which is in harmony
with the Universal Mind will result in corresponding conditions. Thought which is destructive
or discordant will produce corresponding results. You may use thought constructively or
destructively, but the immutable law will not allow you to plant a thought of one kind and reap
the fruit of another. You are free to use this marvelous creative power as you will, but you
must take the consequences.
29. This is the danger from what is called Will Power. There are those who seem to think that
by force of will they can coerce this law; that they can sow seed of one kind and by "Will
Power" make it bear fruit of another, but the fundamental principle of creative power is in the
Universal, and therefore the idea of forcing a compliance with our wishes by the power of the
individual will is an inverted conception which may appear to succeed for a while but is
eventually doomed to failure - because it antagonizes the very power which it is seeking to
use.
30. It is the individual attempting to coerce the Universal, the finite in conflict with the Infinite.
Our permanent well being will be best conserved by a conscious cooperation with the
continuous forward movement of the Great Whole.
31. For your exercise this week, go into the Silence and concentrate on the fact that "In him
we live and move and have our being" is literally and scientifically exact! That you ARE
because He IS, that if He is Omnipresent He must be in you. That if He is all in all you must
be in Him! That He is Spirit and you are made in "His image and likeness" and that the only
difference between His spirit and your spirit is one of degree, that a part must be the same in
kind and quality as the whole. When you can realize this clearly you will have found the secret of the creative power of thought, you will have found the origin of both good and evil,
you will have found the secret of the wonderful power of concentration, you will have found
the key to the solution of every problem whether physical, financial, or environmental.
"The power to think consecutively and deeply and clearly, is an avowed and deadly enemy to
mistakes and blunders, superstitions, unscientific theories, irrational beliefs, unbridled
enthusiasm, fanaticism."
- Haddock

INTRODUCTION - PART TWENTY-ONE

It is my privilege to enclose Part Twenty-One. In paragraph 7 you will find that one of the
secrets of success, one of the methods of organizing victory, one of the accomplishments of
the Master Mind is to think big thoughts.
In paragraph 8 you will find that everything which we hold in our consciousness for any
length of time becomes impressed upon our subconsciousness and so becomes a pattern
which the creative energy will wave into our life and environment. This is the secret of the
wonderful power of prayer.
We know that the universe is governed by law; that for every effect there must be a cause,
and that the same cause, under the same conditions, will invariably produce the same effect.
Consequently, if prayer has ever been answered, it will always be answered, if the proper
conditions are complied with. This must necessarily be true; otherwise the universe would be
a chaos instead of a cosmos. The answer to prayer is therefore subject to law, and this law is
definite, exact and scientific, just as are the laws governing gravitation and electricity. An
understanding of this law takes the foundation of Christianity out of the realm of superstition
and credulity and places it upon the firm rock of scientific understanding.
But, unfortunately, there are comparatively few persons who know how to pray. They
understand that there are laws governing electricity, mathematics, and chemistry, but, for
some inexplicable reason, it never seems to occur to them that there are also spiritual laws,
and that these laws are also definite, scientific, exact, and operate with immutable precision.
PART TWENTY-ONE
1. The real secret of power is consciousness of power. The Universal Mind is unconditional;
therefore, the more conscious we become of our unity with this mind, the less conscious we
shall become of conditions and limitations, and as we become emancipated or freed from
conditions we come into a realization of the unconditional. We have become free!
2. As soon as we become conscious of the inexhaustible power in the world within, we begin
to draw on this power and apply and develop the greater possibilities which this discernment
has realized, because whatever we become conscious of, is invariably manifested in the
objective world, is brought forth into tangible expression.
3. This is because the Infinite mind, which is the source from which all things proceed, is one
and indivisible, and each individual is a channel whereby this Eternal Energy is being
manifested. Our ability to think is our ability to act upon this Universal substance, and what
we think is what is created or produced in the objective world.
4. The result of this discovery is nothing less than marvelous, and means that mind is
extraordinary in quality, limitless in quantity, and contains possibilities without number. To
become conscious of this power is to become a "live wire"; it has the same effect as placing
an ordinary wire in contact with a wire that is charged. The Universal is the live wire. It carries
power sufficient to meet every situation which may arise in the life of every individual. When
the individual mind touches the Universal Mind it receives all the power it requires. This is the
world within. All science recognizes the reality of this world, and all power is contingent upon
our recognition of this world.
5. The ability to eliminate imperfect conditions depends upon mental action, and mental
action depends upon consciousness of power; therefore, the more conscious we become of
our unity with the source of all power, the greater will be our power to control and master
every condition.
6. Large ideas have a tendency to eliminate all smaller ideas so that it is well to hold ideas
large enough to counteract and destroy all small or undesirable tendencies. This will remove
innumerable petty and annoying obstacles from your path. You also become conscious of a
larger world of thought, thereby increasing your mental capacity as well as placing yourself in
position to accomplish something of value.
7. This is one of the secrets of success, one of the methods of organizing victory, one of the
accomplishments of the Master-mind. He thinks big thoughts. The creative energies of mind
find no more difficulty in handling large situations, than small ones. Mind is just as much
present in the Infinitely large as in the Infinitely small.
8. When we realize these facts concerning mind we understand how we may bring ourselves
any condition by creating the corresponding conditions in our consciousness, because
everything which is held for any length of time in the consciousness, eventually becomes
impressed upon the subconscious and thus becomes a pattern which the creative energy will
wave into the life and environment of the individual.
9. In this way conditions are produced and we find that our lives are simply the reflection of
our predominant thoughts, our mental attitude; we see then that the science of correct
thinking is the one science, that it includes all other sciences.
10. From this science we learn that every thought creates an impression on the brain, that
these impressions create mental tendencies, and these tendencies create character, ability
and purpose, and that the combined action of character, ability and purpose determines the
experiences with which we shall meet in life.
11. These experiences come to us through the law of attraction; through the action of this law
we meet in the world without the experiences which correspond to our world within.
12. The predominant thought or the mental attitude is the magnet, and the law is that “like
attracts like”, consequently the mental attitude will invariably attract such conditions as
correspond to its nature.
13. This mental attitude is our personality and is composed of the thoughts which we have
been creating in our own mind; therefore, if we wish a change in conditions all that is
necessary is to change our thought; this will in turn change our mental attitude, which will in
turn change our personality, which will in turn change the persons, things and conditions, or,
the experiences with which we meet in life.
14. It is, however, no easy matter to change the mental attitude, but by persistent effort it
may be accomplished; the mental attitude is patterned after the mental pictures which have
been photographed on the brain; if you do not like the pictures, destroy the negatives and
create new pictures; this is the art of visualization.
15. As soon as you have done this you will begin to attract new things, and the new things
will correspond to the new pictures. To do this: impress on the mind a perfect picture of the desire which you wish to have objectified and continue to hold the picture in mind until results
are obtained.
16. If the desire is one which requires determination, ability, talent, courage, power or any
other spiritual power, these are necessary essentials for your picture; build them in; they are
the vital part of the picture; they are the feeling which combines with thought and creates the
irresistible magnetic power which draws the things you require to you. They give your picture
life, and life means growth, and as soon as it beings to grow, the result is practically assured.
17. Do not hesitate to aspire to the highest possible attainments in anything you may
undertake, for
