 “PREFACE

Charles Haanel wrote The Master Key System a century ago, and it still remains the gold standard in personal development and self-help. All modern self-help experts can trace their teachings back to Charles and the Master Key System, including Napoleon Hill, W. Clement Stone, and Norman Vincent Peal. In fact, The Master Key
System was the basis for the best-selling movie and book The Secret.

The Master Key System is all about success. Whether you want to start a business, lose weight, or improve relationships, the Master Key System will help. To be blunt, it’s up to you to determine what success means to you! By studying this book you will learn the secrets that will:
* Allow you to completely eliminate fear and worry from your life.
* Unlock you hidden potential, developing self-confidence and power.
* Become a magnet that attracts people, resources, and events that create success.
* Move you towards your goals and dreams.
* Think constructively and systematically.
* Learn to control your mind and emotions.
* Draw health, abundance, and success to yourself like a magnet.
* Learn to live harmoniously, eliminating problems and chaos.
* Develop the “millionaire mindset” that will help you earn and accumulate more money.”

At this point, you might be asking yourself…

“WHAT’S THIS #MKMMA (MASTER KEY MASTERMIND ALLIANCE) AKA #MKE (MASTER KEY EXPERIENCE) I’VE BEEN HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT?”

Having become a certified guide myself this year, this is what one of my personal guides last year has to say about it:

“The Master Key Experience taught me to shed my old skin, kind of like a dermabrasion or a facemask process.  It was an all natural facelift as I feel ages younger and better than ever before.  Now, how does a personal development course do all that?  I still don’t know.  I am just grateful for the opportunity to be guided on a journey to self discovery.  So grateful am I to have skills which turned my life upside down, that I became a certified guide in 2014 to assist and provide hands-on support to future members as they take part in their own discovery process.

Your Reflection

Take a look in your reflection, who do you see?  We’ve all thought about things at one point or another.  Changes we wanted to make in our life.  Things we wanted to get done.  Improvements we wanted to implement.  We spend each December agonizing over our New Year’s Resolution, and then each February kicking ourselves for having quit.

MKMMA -- CASSANDRA'S CARTOON ABOUT GROWING OLD

The Master Key Experience is a personal development course that makes every day possible to achieve each resolution with success that is effortless.  Don’t wanna take my word for it?  That’s cool.  The course starts up again in September, and it’s only a buck (yes, that’s $1 USD) to get your pay-it-forward scholarship.  #There is nothing like it!”

So, while you wait, check out the free skills on a positive mental attitude.  Type in your first name and email address in the boxes below the ones with the arrows, and they are yours (In addition to MASTER KEY SYSTEM, which I will ALSO send to you).

In either case, I will make sure to put you on the early notification short list for the next program beginning in September.

STAY THE COURSE

(In MKMMA WEEK 12 – VOTL – CHAPTER 1, the hero of our story, Craignito, found out the most recent conversation he had with himself was quite a bit more than the simple “thinking out loud” conversation, he was accustomed. Indeed, he discovered one of the voices – the other voice – belonged to none other than his own subconscious mind; a subconscious mind calling himself Subucon – or Buc, for short. So quickly this experience was upon him, and seemingly natural at the time, it wasn’t until later, the magnitude of what had just transpired began to sink in.)

After Buc’s departure, his last words swirled around for several days inside Craignito’s cranial vault. As if indelibly etched,

BUC: “You know what’s rather startling here, my friend? With everything I’ve just told you, I did not mention a single thing about how all of this must end.”

(Then, as if in a bar ordering another beer (Craignito is thinking that’s an interesting place to end), Buc continued.)

BUC: “Waiter! Waiter! More pages, more pages, we’ve got a story for the ages! And Craignito, my boy, you are this story’s hero, and it’s time again to post! How does it feel to have all future civilizations remember you with this bubbly champagne toast, “To Craignito, the man who saved the world?“ Is that not the greatest tribute that ever words unfurled?”

SINGAPORE10

(So vivid remained this memory. How could he forget? Still, several days went by, and without further sign of Buc, Craignito began to doubt. He began to imagine it was all his imagination after all – a mental mirage of some kind.

MKMMA -- PETER PAN

Having resigned to this bothersome explanation, we find Craignito, sitting on the edge of his bed. He’s back to thinking out loud again – very loud, I might suggest – as any passerby below Craigy’s closed bedroom window could well attest how easy to discern the C-man’s level of concern.)

CRAIGNITO: “Boy, what an absolutely horrible week this was! First there was the water heater, then the refrigerator, then the sink in the bathroom, and now my computer is playing games!”

(Although doing his best to imitate the soothing unemotional computer named Hal in2001 – A Space Odyssey, Craignito’s wavering voice is hardly emotionally shallow, so deep is his irritation.)

CRAIGNITO: “What are you going to do now, Mr. Google-it-yourself? Craignito, what are you going to do now? Try and fix it yourself? You know that never works, don’t you? Don’t you, Craignito?”

(Unable to restrain his frustration any longer, our hero stands, turns, and throws himself onto the bed.)

CRAIGNITO: “Why do these things always happen to me? Why? Why? What’s going to happen next?”

BUC: “Well, the first thing you must do, Craignitop, is get off the ol”pity pot. Nobody likes a whiner! How many heroes can you remember doing that? I should pop you one and give you a shiner! A hero is a winner – a juicy red steak – not a wimpy wiener from Doggie Diner. If you want to get to the top and stay on top, you need to stop. Stop the verbiage shooting out of your mouth, as if it were the rear end of a ravenous wood chipper munching its way through large logs.

Hey, that’s pretty good. Let’s take a closer look. What is a wood chipper? It is neither a beaver or woodchuck – even though we know a woodchuck WOULD CHUCK WOOD. A wood chip will chip wood! As a tool, that’s exactly what a wood chipper is designed to do. The stuff it produces can be used as ground-cover and to make paper. While in your case, WOOD CHIME, the need (AND NOT THE SUPPLY OF) for both of these is increased! So, why do you do it?”

WOOD CHIPPER

CRAIGNITO: “It makes me feel better.”

BUC: “As I was saying… May I suggest that is only an illusion. Certainly, you know it is the service we render that provides meaning to life. How are you doing with the ‘7 Laws of the Mind,’ and the ‘7-Day Mental Diet?”

(Buc, who really was a freak of nature compared to all the other subbies out there, already knew the answer to his question before he asked it – but because Buc knew full well the importance of giving his objective-minded associate the sense of privacy and control the ego demanded, his question provided assurance.)

CRAIGNITO: “The 7 what?”’

BUC: “I could’ve sworn I told you to memorize the former and follow the letter.” (More assurance)

CRAIGNITO: “This is the first I’ve heard of it!”

(In case it’s your first time, too, the “Laws of the Mind,” can be found at the bottom of this post; and your own copy of Fox’s “7-Day Mental Diet,” is just a right sidebar click away. I dare you to try it. :-))

BUC: “Well, I’d hoped you’d be a bit more prepared before taking you out into the public for your first oratory spin, Socraigo; but star that you are, you will do just fine!”’

CRAIGNITO:Say whaaaaaaaaaaa…”

(Craignito’s last word was still hanging in the air as he quickly followed Buc out the front door. Next thing he knew he was standing on the corner of Market Street and Geary in the San Francisco financial district with a megaphone in one hand, and Buc whispering in his other… other ear, or both, telling him what to say. If this kind of reminds you of a scene taken from Cyrano de Bergerac, then you’ve got the gist of it. They’ve chosen San Francisco, because it is one of the few cities where this kind of spectacle is tolerated to some degree – without the next thing you’re hearing is the jingle of  cell lock-up keys. Craignito brings the megaphone up to his smile and begins:)

CRAIGNITO: “Good people, my friends, gather around. I don’t want you to miss a single word I say; because no matter what your personal profile might be; this message is for you.”

(Most people continue to hurry past Craignito walking east and west on this exceptionally wide and characteristically busy, well known San Francisco sidewalk – but there are a few who linger to listen. Craignito continues.)

CRAIGNITO: “In America, there is a game that’s played every election year about this time. Although I no longer spend any of my time in front of a TV set, I’m pretty sure whether you watch the news, or not, you can guess what I’m referring to. On the surface, everything seems so right – so American – but distilled down, so that all that remains is the honest, factual truth of the matter, suddenly a new reality appears: the presidential candidate who TELLS THE BIGGEST WHOPPER WINS!

(By now the handful of people had become two handfuls, and one person yells out:

A MAN IN THE CROWD: “Sounds pretty fishy to me!”

(At this, a giggle runs through the folks standing around Craignito – large enough to now be called an audience. Unfazed, Mr. C continues)

CRAIGNITO: “OF course, these whoppers are also called campaign promises.”

(At this, a couple of the individuals laughed mightily while others were irritated and reacting quite differently. Other than that, no outright hostility, just polite civility, and so:)

CRAIGNITO:Now, if you are like a lot of people, once a candidate is elected, you probably don’t remember how many of the newly elected’s so-called campaign promises were kept, do you?

(Asking this question has sent the collective mind in motion, as evidenced by more and more voices coming from the herd…but before this murmur could actually erupt into someone giving answer, Craignito fills in the blank for them)

CRAIGNITO: “Most folks don’t remember, because once a politician is elected, it’s a done deal, and they lose interest. Why verify what they’ve already come to expect is a lie any time they see a politician’s jaw flapping?

Also, I want to clarify what I’m calling the “biggest whopper.” The “biggest whopper” is actually composed of a bunch of little whoppers all added up together. Certainly, some promises stand out more than others. Obama’s promise to shut down the base at Guantánamo Bay, for instance, and that he will end our war with Afghanistan are both big enough to enter the “standalone” whopper category – don’t you think?”

SHEEPLE - OBAMA - RADIATION IS NUTRITIOUS

(I’m not sure if it is what Craignito said or how he said it most responsible, but many of the people in what has become a crowd are nodding their heads in agreement; and they were stunned by what Craignito says next.)

CRAIGNITO: “’The 12 Visions Party is The Party That Will Make Everyone Rich, Including the Poor!’”

(This time the murmur becomes a rumble, and Craignito waits until someone blurts out “What do you mean?”)

 CRAIGNITO: “It means everyone will live like a millionaire without lifting a finger. That’s what it means!”

(The crowd was polarized. About half didn’t know what to think, and the other half thought the idea silly and were about to leave, when Craignito’s voice no longer needed the megaphone, and its booming pitch resonated.)

CRAIGNITO:“THE TVP WILL MAKE ALL THE PEOPLE RICH, INCLUDING THE POOR!” The TVP guarantees everyone will live like a millionaire without lifting a finger. That’s no whopper. That’s a fact!”

(That was the end of Craignito’s address that day. He spent the next 15-20 minutes handing out what might be called campaign buttons, except that they didn’t refer to any particular candidate. What they said was, “THE TVP WILL MAKE ALL THE PEOPLE RICH, INCLUDING THE POOR!” In multicolored blinking lights. Each button was equipped with a lithium battery more than sufficient to keep those buttons blinking well past election time — a little less than a year away. On the back of each button etched in the metal was …to be continued)

Seven Laws of the Mind

Law of Substitution — We cannot think about 2 things at the same time. If a negative thought enters your mind ~ try to think about God instead. If that is too big a reach at the time, use any fond memory or other pleasant thought. Jesus, the Master Teacher, said, “Resist not evil” ~ meaning turn from it and think about something else instead.

Law of Relaxation — Mental effort defeats itself ~ exactly the opposite of physical effort. A relaxed, calm state of mind, is the only doorway to progress mentally. Relaxation of thought is the only access to Infinite Intelligence.

Law of Practice — Practice makes perfect. The 5Ps – Perfect Practice Prevents Poor Performance. Our bewilderment of magnificence in others, upon further inspection, finds…as Wooden shares ‘you’ll find most of it is practice, the rest of it is work.’ With practice of the correct things, we improve ~ on the other 6 Laws of the Mind.

Law of Forgiveness — To access the Divine and connect the subconscious to the Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent Creator we must forgive everyone and anyone to clear the channel. There can be no connection to the Divine mind where anger or resentment against a brother or sister, justified or not, exists.

Law of Dual Thought — Thought is a combination of ideation and feeling. We can attach any feeling to a thought we want.

Law of Subconscious — As soon as the subconscious accepts the idea it becomes a demand and it works constantly, 24-7, to manifest demand ~ accessing a reservoir of infinite resources.

Law of Growth — Whatever we think about grows. What we forget atrophies.
