What could you accomplish if you had total control of your mind, or even just a large fraction of control?
Imagine if you could silence the inner thoughts that tell you to doubt yourself, that tell you you’re lazy, or good for nothing or the one’s encouraging you to be complacent. Imagine if you could not only silence those thoughts but replace them with ones that had the opposite effect and pushed you to pursuing and accomplishing your goals. That would be the ultimate power.
Well, good news, it is possible to train your mind, and over 100-years ago a man by the name of Charles Haanel, a thinker in the American New Thought movement, came up with The Master Key System, a 24-part course designed to train a person to consciously direct their attention, thoughts, and mental habits toward a definite purpose.

What is The Master Key System?
The Master Key System is a 24-Step program designed in the early 1900s for the purpose of training one’s mind to attract that which they desire. Charles Haanel, the author of the program, believed that thought — both conscious and unconscious — is responsible for our circumstances.
Haanel wrote:
“Every thought tends to become a material thing. Our Desires are seed thoughts that have a tendency to sprout and grow and blossom and bear fruit. We are sowing these seeds everyday. What shall the harvest be? Each of us today is the result of his past thinking. Later we shall be the result of our current thinking. We create our own character, personality and environment by the thought which we originate or entertain.”
Haanel also viewed the brain and nervous system almost like an electrical circuit. He believed thought created “mental currents” that traveled through this system, and that concentration allowed a person to direct those currents deliberately. In his view, disciplined thought could ultimately connect the individual mind with what he called the Universal Mind. And so, in an effort to show others how to attract what they want, he started a 24-week program where those who signed up received the lesson in a letter each week.
Sound like bullshit? It may be and it may not be, or, like many great claims and stories, it’s right in middle — but, there is only one way to find out. Listen to the introduction — available free to members.
