LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.  PART ONE.


   It is my privilege to enclose herewith Part One
of The Master Key System.  Would you bring into
your life more power, get the power consciousness,
more health, get the health consciousness, more
happiness, get the happiness consciousness? Live
the spirit of these things until they become yours
by right.  It will then become impossible to keep
them from you.  The things of the world are fluid
to a power within man by which he rules them.

   You need not acquire this power. You already
have it.  But you want to understand it; you want
to use it; you want to control it; you want to im-
pregnate yourself with it, so that you can go for-
ward and carry the world before you.

   Day by day as you go on and on, as you gain
momentum, as your inspiration deepens, as your
plans crystalize, as you gain understanding, you will
come to realize that this world is no dead pile of
stones and timber, but that it is a living thing! It
is made up of the beating hearts of humanity. It
is a thing of life and beauty.

   It is evident that it requires understanding to
work with material of this description, but those who
come into this understanding, are inspired by a new
light, a new force, they gain confidence and greater
power each day, they realize their hopes and their
dreams come true, life has a deeper, fuller, clearer
meaning than before.

                        PART ONE.

   1.  All possession is based on conscious-
ness.  All gain is the result of an accumn-
lative consciousness.  All loss is the result
of a scattering consciousness.  That much
gathers more is true on every plane of
existence and that loss leads to greater loss
is equally true.

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

   3.  The attitude of mind necessarily de-
pends upon what we think.  Therefore, the
secret of all power, all achievement and all
possession depends upon our method of
thinking.

   4.  This is true because we must "be"
before we can "do," and we can "do" only
to the extent which we "are," and what we
"are" depends upon what we "think."

   5.  We cannot express powers which we
do not possess, and the only way to secure
possession of power is to become conscious
of power, and we can never become con-
scious of power until we learn that all
power is from within.

   6.  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.

   7.  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.

   8.  The world without is a reflection of
the world within.  What appears without is
what has been found within.  In the world
within may be found infinite Wisdom, infi-
nite Power, infinite Supply of all that is
necessary, waiting for unfoldment, de-
velopment and expression.  If we recognize
these potentialities in the world within
they will take form in the world without.

   9.  Harmony in the world within will be
reflected in the world without by harmon-
ious conditions, agreeable surroundings,
the best of everything--It is the foundation
of health, and a necessary essential to all
greatness, all power, all attainment, all
achievement and all success.

   10.  Harmony in the world within means
the ability to control our thoughts, to de-
termine for ourselves how any experience
is to affect us.

   11.  Harmony in the world within re-
sults in optimism and affluence; affluence
within results in affluence without.

   12.  The world without reflects the cir-
cumstances and the conditions of the con-
sciousness within.

   13.  If we find wisdom in the world with-
in, we shall have the understanding to dis-
cern the marvelous possibilities which are
latent in this world within, and we shall be
given the power to make these possibilities
manifest in the world without.

   14.  As we become conscious of the wis-
dom in the world within, we mentally take
possession of this wisdom, and by taking
mental possession we come into actual pos-
session of the power and wisdom necessary
to bring into manifestation the essentials
necessary for our most complete and har-
monious development.

   15.  The world within is the practical
world in which the men and women of
power generate courage, hope, enthusiasm,
confidence, trust and faith, by which they
are given the fine intelligence and practi-
cal skill to see the vision and make the
vision real.

   16.  Life is an unfoldment, not accre-
tion; what comes to us in the world without
is what we already possess in the world
within.

   17.  Mental efficiency is contingent upon
harmony; discord means confusion; there-
fore, he who would acquire power must be
in harmony with the law of his being.

   18.  We are related to the world without
by the objective mind, the brain is the or-
gan of this mind, and the cerebro-spinal
system of nerves puts us in conscious com-
munication with every part of the body.
This system of nerves responds to every
sensation of light, heat, odor, sound and
taste.

   19.  When this mind thinks correctly,
when it understands the truth, when the
thoughts sent through the cerebro-spinal
nervous system to the body are in accord-
ance with the law of our being, these sensa-
tions are pleasant, harmonious.

   20.  The results are constructive; we
build strength, vitality and all constructive
forces into our body, but it is through this
same organ of the objective mind that all
distress, sickness, lack, limitation and
every form of discord and inharmony is ad-
mitted to our lives.  It is therefore through
the objective mind, or by wrong thinking,
that we are related to all destructive forces.

   21.  We are related to the world within
by the sub-conscious mind; the Solar
Plexus is the organ of this mind; the sym-
pathetic system of nerves presides over all
subjective sensations, such as joy, fear,
love, emotion, respiration, imagination and
all other sub-conscious phenomena.  It is
through the sub-conscious that we are con-
nected with the Universal Mind and
brought into relation with the Infinite con-
structive forces of the universe.

   22.  It is through the Solar Plexus, the
organ of the sub-conscious mind, that we
are related to the world within.

   23.  It is the equalization of these two
centers of our being, and the understand-
ing of their functions, which is the great
secret of life.  With this knowledge we can
bring the objective and subjective minds
into conscious co-operation and thus co-
ordinate the finite and the Infinite.  Our
future is entirely under our own control!
It is not at the mercy of any capricious
or uncertain external power.

   24.  All agree that there is but one Prin-
ciple or Consciousness pervading the entire
Universe, occupying all space, and being
essentially the same in kind at every point
of its presence.  It is Omnipotent, Omnis-
cient and Omnipresent.  All thoughts and
things are within Itself.  It is all in all.

   25.  There is but one consciousness in
the universe able to think and when it
thinks its thoughts become objective things
to it.  As this Consciousness is omnipres-
ent it must be present within every indi-
vidual; each individual must be a manifes-
tation of that Omnipotent, Omniscient and
Omnipresent Consciousness.

   26.  As there is only one Consciousness
in the Universe which is able to think, it
necessarily follows that your consciousness
is identical with the Universal Conscious-
ness, or, in other words, all mind is one
mind.  There is no dodging this conclu-
sion.

   27.  The consciousness which focuses in
your brain cells is the same consciousness
which focuses in the brain cells of every
other individual.  Each individual is but
the individualization of the Universal, the
Cosmic Mind.

   28.  The Universal Mind is static or po-
tential energy; it simply is; it can manifest
only through the individual, and the indi-
vidual can manifest only through the Uni-
versal.  They are one.

   29.  The ability of the individual to
think is his ability to act on the Universal
and bring it into manifestation.  Human
consciousness consists only in the ability
of man to think.  Thought is the vibratory
force formed by converting static mind into
dynamic mind.

   30.  As the sum of all attributes is con-
tained in the Universal Mind, which is Om-
nipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent,
these attributes must be present at all times
in their potential form in every individual.
Therefore, when the individual thinks, the
thought is compelled by its nature to em-
body itself in an objectivity or condition
which will correspond with its origin.

   31.  Every thought is therefore a cause
and every condition an effect; for this rea-
son it is absolutely essential that you con-
trol your thoughts so as to bring forth only
desirable conditions.

   32.  All power is from within, and is
absolutely under your control; it comes
through exact knowledge and by the volun-
tary exercise of exact principles.

   33.  It should be plain that when you
get a through understanding of this law,
and are able to control your thought pro-
cesses, you can apply it to any condition;
in other words, you will have come into
conscious co-operation with Omnipotent
law which is the fundamental basis of all
things.

   34.  The Universal Mind is the life prin-
ciple of every atom which is in existence;
all are continually striving to manifest
more life, all are intelligent, and all are
seeking to carry out the purpose for which
they were created.

   35.  A majority of mankind lives in the
world without; few have found the world
within, and yet it is the world within which
makes the world without.  The world with-
in is one with the Universal, the world in
which "we live and move and have our
being," the great creative principle of the
Universe; it is therefore creative and ev-
erything which you find in your world with-
out has been created by you in the world
within.

   36.  This system will bring you into a
realization of the power which will be
yours when you understand this relation
between the world without and the world
within.  The world within is the cause, the
world without the effect; to change the ef-
fect you must change the cause.

   37.  You will at once see that this is a
radically new and different idea; most men
try to change effects by working with ef-
fects; they fail to see that this is simply
changing one form of distress for another.
To remove discord, we must remove the
cause, and this cause can only be found in
the world within.

   38.  The world within is the Universal
Fountain of supply, and the world without
is the outlet to the stream.  Our ability to
receive depends upon our recognition of
this Universal Fountain, this Infinite En-
ergy of which each individual is an outlet,
and so is one with every other individual.

   39.  All growth is from within. This is
evident in all nature.  Every plant, every
animal, every human, is a living testimony
to this great law, and the error of the ages
is in looking for strength or power from
without.

   40.  A practical understanding of this
law will substitute abundance for poverty,
wisdom for ignorance, harmony for dis-
cord and freedom for tyranny, and cer-
tainly there can be no greater blessing
than these from a material and social
standpoint.

   41.  The three steps necessary to bring
desire into realization are Idealization,
Visualization and Manifestation.  The first
step then is to sow the seed; this should
be done in the Silence, but few of us know
what the Silence is.  It is a physical still-
ness.  The time required is from fifteen
minutes to half an hour daily.  Select a
room where you can be alone and undis-
turbed; sit erect, comfortably, but do not
lounge; let your thoughts roam where they
will but be perfectly still; continue this for
three or four days or for a week until you
secure full control of your physical being.

   42.  Many will find this extremely dif-
ficult, other will conquer with ease, but it
is absolutely essential to secure complete
control of the body before you are ready
to progress.  Next week you will receive
instructions for the next step; in the mean-
time you must have mastered this one.


           Mind in itself is believed to be a
        subtle form of static energy, from which
        arises the activities called "thought,"
        which is the dynamic phase of mind.
        Mind is static energy, thought is dy-
        namic energy--the two phases of the
        same things.                     --Walker.

                 PART ONE.

1.  What is the world without in its re-
      lation to the world within?

      The world without is a reflection of
      the world within.

2.  Upon what does all possession de-
      pend?

      All possession is based on conscious-
      ness.

3.  How is the individual related to the
      objective world?

      The individual is related to the ob-
      jective world by the objective mind;
      the brain is the organ of this mind.

4.  How is he related to the Universal
      Mind?

      He is related to the Universal Mind
      by the subconscious mind; the Solar
      Plexus is the organ of this mind.

5.  What is the Universal Mind?

      The Universal Mind is the life prin-
      ciple of every atom which is in exist-
      ence.

6.  How can the Individual act on the
      Universal?

      The ability of the individual to think
      is his ability to act upon the Univer-
      sal and bring it into manifestation.

7.  What is the result of this action and
      inter-action?

      The result of this action and inter-
      action is cause and effect; every
      thought is a cause and every condi-
      tion an effect.

8.  How are harmonious and desirable
      conditions secured?

      Harmonious and desirable conditions
      are obtained by right thinking.

9.  What is the cause of all discord, in-
      harmony, lack and limitation?

      Discord, inharmony, lack and limita-
      tion are the result of wrong thinking.

10.  What is the source of all power?

      The source of all power is the world
      within, the Universal Fountain of
      Supply, the Infinite Energy of which
      each individual is an outlet.
