The Origins Of The Secret Master Keys System

The Secret Master Keys
Written in 1912 by Charles F. Haanel (1866 - 1949), and first published in book form in 1919 and selling more than 200,000 copies, The Master Key System was designed as a 24 week course. Charles Haanel, I believe, intuitively understood the workings of the human mind and wrote his Master Keys as a means of removing our sub-conscious 'self-sabotage programs' and replacing them with a series of 'Keys' which allow us to reach our full potential.

In 1933, for all intent and purposes, The Master Keys disappeared from public light, a decision was made within the hierarchy of 'the church' stating "The Master Keys will never be revealed to the public"... I'm sure the vatican was heated by many a book relegated to the furnace... "it is easier to control the poor, than control the happily wealthy"... I'm also sure a few were kept in 'The Archives' for their own use to accumulate the huge sums of money, art, sculpture, manuscripts, real estate etc they have.

Well, you can't keep something like this hidden for ever, and in the first part of the 1990s, when the Silicone Valley millionaires and billionaires were being made, it is well known they all read the text and went on to create the biggest stockmarket boom in history. Bill Gates is said to have come across a copy a couple of years into his Harvard University studies and soon after dropped-out... to create for us all, the means to access information at our finger-tips... "putting a computer in every home" may seem lofty goal, fraught with obstacles and difficulties, but that certainly didn't stop him from achieving it, and becoming one of the richest men on the planet at the same time... thank you very much.

It is our birth-right to live in abundance. Charles Haanel knew this, and many others of his time and since have known it... now it's our time to experience The Secret Master Keys and allow ourselves to achieve all that we desire... Health, Wealth, Happiness and Abundance in all things... to live a life of joy.

Let me give you a glimpse of the wonderful gems Charles Haanel has given us... from Key One of the course... Paragraphs 2, 3, 6, 7 & 31;

Mind is creative, and conditions, environment and all experiences in life are the result of our habitual or predominant mental attitude.

The attitude of mind necessarily depends upon what we think. Therefore, the secret of all power, all achievement and all possession depends upon our mode of thought.


There is a world within – a world of thought and feeling and power; of light and life and beauty and, although invisible, its forces are mighty.

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.

Every thought therefore is a cause and every condition an effect; for this reason it is absolutely essential that you control your thoughts so as to bring forth only desirable conditions.

He certainly pulls no punches, he explains through the logical male side, and the creative feminine side of our brain, how our mind really works, and restores our thinking to higher-thought. In the recently released movie 'The Secret' ( http://www.thesecret.tv/ where the book in its original form can be read) the Quantum Physicist, Dr Fred Alan Wolf, says "You can't have a Universe without mind entering into it... the mind is actually shaping the very thing that is being perceived". We literally create all that we are, all we have, all we receive, and all we experience... everything, totally through our thoughts and feelings, whether we believe it or not, or are conscious of it or not... 100% of the time without exception.

There is no capricious outside force arbitrarily dealing out all we get in life, WE are that force, WE are creating our lives. We can create a life of stress with all those things we don't want, or we can create a life of wonder where all that comes to us is positive, abundant, joyful and loving... it's our choice.

Once this concept is fully grasped and accepted, IT IS LIFE-CHANGING. The Master Keys are a set of systematic steps or Keys, that transform our lives into the meaningful and joy-filled experiences they were meant to be. "There is no virtue in poverty, no benefit in self denial" what could we possibly gain from either... absolutely nothing whatsoever. We were born to have a full and abundant, successful, healthy and happy life. As Wallace Wattle says in his gem of a book, The Science Of Getting Rich, "No man ought to be satisfied with a little, if he is capable of using and enjoying more... to be content with less is sinful"

The wonderful thing is, we can change everything in an instant with a change of attitude... Gratitude for the things we have now is a great way to generate the feelings which will allow us to leave the competitive mind, enter the creative mind, and start to create the things we want in our lives.

Watch the movie THE SECRET, it explains WHAT this "Secret" is, let the information percolate through you, and then take a look at The Master Keys on their site. Although it is in the very difficult to understand English of 100 years ago, the gems are still there, this book explains exactly HOW to apply the "Secret" to your life. It gives you a step-by-step, repeatable method to create what you desire in your life with the power of your thoughts, "what you think, and feel, is what you are creating, every time, without exception"... Feel good and you will create good in your life, and others around you will begin to feel good as well.

Please feel free to comment on this, and any experiences you may have had regarding the power of your thoughts in creating that which you desire... I love hearing what people have done with their lives by taking responsibility for it, creating the things wanted, as opposed to letting life wash over them and pass them by.

My very best wishes to you all, may you lead a fulfilling and happy life, I do hope my little bit helps in that.

Please also take a look at another movement sweeping the planet...FREE HUGS... www.Free-Hugs.info is penned by a very good friend of mine here on the Gold Coast, who is now the Blog Master for the original site at www.Free-Hugs.com . The song, and accompanying video from The Sick Puppies has brought this to the attention of people from all walks of life and all corners of this globe, and endeared them, and the Free Hugs movement, to all it has touched. Hug your Mum, Hug your children, Hug your pets, Hug your neighbour, Hug a stranger, Hug a tree... and see the immediate difference it makes to them, its hard not to SMILE when you've been hugged, or if you are the hugger... Open your arms and your heart to others. We all need it now and then... and more often than we admit. :) Be Well<>
