Book Review : The Master Key System Chapter 1-4
In this post I would like to review a book “The Master Key System” chapter 1-4.
Chapter 1
This chapter explains the cause of all gain, explains the cause of loss as well as all other experiences in life, explains how power is secured, and many more. Of course, every body want to know how to find the courage, power, hope, enthusiasm and confidence by which they are given the intelligence and wisdom to make their dreams come true. This chapter also explains the cause of every condition, the reason for every experience, the origin of all power, and why all power is absolutely under our own control. It depends to our self.
Mind is creative. Do you know why? Conditions, environment and all experiences in life are the result of our habitual or our mental attitude. The attitude of mind necessarily depends to what we think. Therefore, the secret of all power, all achievement and all possession depend to our method of thinking.
The world within is governed by mind. When we discover this world, we shall find the solution for every problem, the cause for every effect; and since the world within is subject to our control, all laws, of power and possession are also within our control. The world without is a reflection of the world within. What appears in the world without is what has been found in the world within.
The world within is the practical world in which people generate courage, hope, enthusiasm, confidence, trust and faith, by which they are given the fine intelligence to see the vision and the practical skill to make the vision real. Life is an enfoldment, not accretion. What comes to us in the world without is what we already possess in the world within.
Chapter 2
The operations of the mind are produced by two parallel modes of activity, the one conscious, and the other subconscious. Prof. Davidson says: "He who thinks to illuminate the whole range of mental action by the light of his own consciousness is not unlike one who should go about to illuminate the universe with a rushlight". The subconscious, logical processes are carried on with a certainty and regularity which would be impossible if there existed the possibility of error.
For make it more clear, there is an example for you. We can walk at will, we can raise the arm whenever we choose to do so, we can give our attention through eye or ear to any subject at pleasure. On the other hand, we cannot stop our heartbeats nor the circulation of the blood, nor the growth of stature, nor the formation of nerve and muscle tissue, nor the building of the bones, nor many other important vital processes. If we compare these two sets of action, the one decreed by the will of the moment, and the other proceeding in no vacillation, but constant at every moment. Of these two powers, the outward and changeable has been termed the "Conscious Mind," or the "Objective Mind" (dealing with outward objects). The interior power is called the "Subconscious Mind," or the "Subjective Mind," and besides its work on the mental plane it controls the regular functions which make physical life possible.
The conscious mind deals with the impressions and objects of the outward life. It has the power of reasoning whether inductive, deductive, analytical or syllogistic, and this power may be developed to a high degree. It is the seat of the will, with all the energies that flow therefrom. Not only can it impress other minds, but it can direct the subconscious mind. In this way the conscious mind becomes the responsible ruler and guardian of the subconscious mind. It is this high function which can completely reverse conditions in your life. It is often true that conditions of fear, worry, poverty, disease, inharmony and evils of all kinds dominate us by reason of false suggestions accepted by the unguarded subconscious mind. All this the trained conscious mind can entirely prevent by its vigilant protective action.
Chapter 3
The necessary action and interaction of the conscious and subconscious minds requires two corresponding systems of nerves. It explains how the connection is made between these two systems of nerves.
Every thought is received by the brain, which is the organ of the conscious. It is here subjected to our power of reasoning. When the objective mind has been satisfied that the thought is true it is sent to the Solar Plexus, or the brain of the subjective mind, to be made into our flesh, to be brought into the world as a reality.
The Solar Plexus has been likened to the sun of the body, because it is a central point of distribution for the energy which the body is constantly generating. This energy is being distributed by very real nerves to all parts of the body, and is thrown off in an atmosphere which envelops the body. If this radiation is sufficiently strong the person is called magnetic; it is said to be filled with personal magnetism. Such a person may wield an immense power for good. His presence alone will often bring comfort to the troubled minds with which he comes in contact. When the Solar Plexus is in active operation and is radiating life, energy and vitality to every part of the body, and to everyone whom he meets, the sensations are pleasant, the body is filled with health and all with whom he comes in contact experience a pleasant sensation. That is usually called “Inner Beauty”. If there is any interruption of this radiation the sensations are unpleasant, the flow of life and energy to some part of the body is stopped, and this is the cause of every ill to the human race, physical, mental or environmental.
Chapter 4
This chapter tells how to find something that which you call yourself. "You" are not your body; the body is simply the physical instrument which the ego uses to carry out its purpose. "You" are not your mind; this is simply another instrument which the ego uses to think, reason and plan. When you come into a realization of the true nature of the "I" you will enjoy a sense of power which nothing else can give, because you will come to know what you are, who you are, what you want, and how to get it.
Your personality is made up of countless individual characteristics, peculiarities, habits and traits of character; these are the result of your former method of thinking, but they have nothing to do with the real "I."
The greatest and most marvelous power which this "I" has been given is the power to think, but few people know how to think constructively, or correctly, consequently they achieve only indifferent results. Most people allow their thoughts to dwell on selfish purposes, the inevitable result of an infantile mind. Try to come into a thorough understanding of the true nature of the "I"; if you do you will become invincible; that is, provided that your objects and purposes are constructive and are therefore in harmony with the creative principle of the Universe. If you make use of this affirmation, use it continuously, night and morning, and as often during the day as you think of it, and continue to do so until it becomes a part of you, form the habit.
If you carry out this idea, beginning with small things which you know you can control and gradually increase the effort, but never under any circumstances allowing your "I" to be overruled, you will find that you can eventually control yourself, and many men and women have found to their sorrow that it is easier to control a kingdom than to control themselves. But when you have learned to control yourself you will have found the "World Within" which controls the world without; you will have become irresistible.
Review
I think those chapter (chapter 1-4) is clear enough to tell about the secret of mind. In the chapter one, we know the basic knowledge of “World”, which are the World Within and the World Without. That knowledge can make us understand if there are two worlds that we never know before.
In the chapter two, we learn about the different between the "Conscious Mind" and "Subconscious Mind". We learn what is the Conscious Mind and what is the Subconscious Mind and know the different functions of them.
In the chapter three, we learn about interaction of the conscious and subconscious minds. Also, how energy is being distributed and the effect of the distribution of the energy.
Then in the chapter four, we learn about how to know ourselves. Who am I, and the real “I”. in this chapter, we start to know the “secret” of mind. If you know the real “I” you can control anything in your life.
Each chapter has its own discussion, and the chapter sorted step by step from the basic knowledge into how to find out the secret of “mind”. Also, the writer explains point by point very clear and step by step. So, it easy to understand and know the meaning of the discussion.
Thank you for reading and see you in the next post :)
