My Year in the Master Key System -- Part Three

There’s a reason why it takes time to absorb the Master Key System – we’re not always ready to fully understand a particular message the first time it is presented to us.  I’m reminded of the quote by Rainer Maria Rilke: “Do not now look for the answers.  They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them.”  (As an aside, I truly recommend that you read Rilke’s “Letters to a Young Poet” if you haven’t yet!)

Part Three of the Master Key System talks further about how the conscious and subconscious systems relate.  The subconscious mind receives direction from the conscious mind and simply does what it is told.  It links to the Universal Mind when it needs something, which is the mechanism by which we are able to create what we truly want.  The power of the subconscious comes from the energy it radiates – the more energy, the more effectively it reaches out to the Universal mind and the more rapidly we can create what we want.  So you want to radiate as much positive energy as possible – that means amplifying every request with strong positive emotion and passion.  It also means that we can’t let anything get in the way of this radiation.

This brings me to the main point of this blog – letting things get in the way.  This is probably the hardest part of the journey for me.  I believe what I read from an intellectual standpoint, but every time I re-read the material, I realize that I really don't get it yet.  I guess that up until now, I haven’t been able to “live the answers”.  Part Three tells us that fear is the biggest resistance against the positive requests made by our subconscious.  And fear is something I live every day, and I suspect that many of you reading this might dare to agree.  We want greatness, but fear living up to it.  We want success, but fear making a fool of ourselves.  We want to be a model for others, but fear other people’s reactions and treatment.  We want abundance, but fear the lack of abundance that we see around us.

In parallel to studying The Master Key System, I’m also reading other success classics, such as The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace D. Wattles.  Wattles says: “To think according to appearance is easy; to think truth regardless of appearances is laborious, and requires the expenditure of more power than any other work man is called upon to perform.”  Wattles is saying that it is easy to think that things will always be what we see around us – we will always have what we have, we will always be what we are, we will always do what we do.  But the Master Key System says that we don't have to.  With focused study and concentration, we can create so much more and transform our lives and ourselves into exactly what we want!

A fun way to convince ourselves that we can actually do this is to try it out.  Think of one thing that you want to create, something immediate, not too complicated, but different enough from what you are living to convince you that you actually created it.  Sometimes I do this by finding a parking spot or getting someone to call me.  What small wins do you want to create this week to convince yourself that you can create anything you truly want?
