INTRODUCTION - PART FOUR
Enclosed herewith I hand you Part Four. This part will show you why what you think, or do, or
feel, is an indication of what you are.
Thought is energy and energy is power, and it is because all the religions, sciences and
philosophies with which the world has heretofore been familiar have been based upon the
manifestation of this energy instead of the energy itself, that the world has been limited to
effects, while causes have been ignored or misunderstood.
For this reason we have God and the Devil in religion, positive and negative in science, and
good and bad in philosophy.
The master key reverses the process; it is interested only in cause, and the letters received
from students tell a marvelous story; they indicate conclusively that students are finding the
cause whereby they may secure for themselves health, harmony, abundance, and whatever
else may be necessary for their welfare and happiness.
Life is expressive and it is our business to express ourselves harmoniously and
constructively. Sorrow, misery, unhappiness, disease and poverty are not necessities and we
are constantly eliminating them.
But this process of eliminating consists in rising above and beyond limitation of any kind. He
who has strengthened and purified his thought need not concern himself about microbes,
and he who has come into an understanding of the law of abundance will go at once to the
source of supply. It is thus that fate, fortune, and destiny will be controlled as readily as a
captain controls his ship, or an engineer, his train.
PART FOUR
1. The "I" of you is not the physical body; that is simply an instrument which the "I" uses to
carry out its purposes; the "I" cannot be the Mind, for the mind is simply another instrument
which the "I" uses with which to think, reason, and plan.
2. The "I" must be something which controls and directs both the body and the mind;
something which determines what they shall do and how they shall act. When you come into
a realization of the true nature of this "I", you will enjoy a sense of power which you have
never before known.
3. Your personality is made up of countless individual characteristics, peculiarities, habits,
and traits of character; these are the result of your former method of thinking, but they have
nothing to do with the real "I."
4. When you say "I think" the "I" tells the mind what it shall think; when you say "I go" the "I"
tells the physical body where it shall go; the real nature of this "I" is spiritual, and is the
source of the real power which comes to men and women when they come into a realization
of their true nature.
5. The greatest and most marvelous power which this "I" has been given is the power to
think, but few people know how to think constructively, or correctly, consequently they achieve only indifferent results. Most people allow their thoughts to dwell on selfish purposes,
the inevitable result of an infantile mind. When a mind becomes mature, it understands that
the germ of defeat is in every selfish thought.
6. The trained mind knows that every transaction must benefit every person who is in any
way connected with the transaction, and any attempt to profit by the weakness, ignorance or
necessity of another will inevitably operate to his disadvantage.
7. This is because the individual is a part of the Universal. A part cannot antagonize any
other part, but, on the contrary, the welfare of each part depends upon a recognition of the
interest of the whole.
8. Those who recognize this principle have a great advantage in the affairs of life. They do
not wear themselves out. They can eliminate vagrant thoughts with facility. They can readily
concentrate to the highest possible degree on any subject. They do not waste time or money
upon objects which can be of no possible benefit to them.
9. If you cannot do these things it is because you have thus far not made the necessary
effort. Now is the time to make the effort. The result will be exactly in proportion to the effort
expended. One of the strongest affirmations which you can use for the purpose of
strengthening the will and realizing your power to accomplish, is, "I can be what I will to be."
10. Every time you repeat it realize who and what this "I" is; try to come into a thorough
understanding of the true nature of the "I"; if you do, you will become invincible; that is,
provided that your objects and purposes are constructive and are therefore in harmony with
the creative principle of the Universe.
11. If you make use of this affirmation, use it continuously, night and morning, and as often
during the day as you think of it, and continue to do so until it becomes a part of you; form the
habit.
12. Unless you do this, you had better not start at all, because modern psychology tells us
that when we start something and do not complete it, or make a resolution and do not keep it,
we are forming the habit of failure; absolute, ignominious failure. If you do not intend to do a
thing, do not start; if you do start, see it through even if the heavens fall; if you make up your
mind to do something, do it; let nothing, no one, interfere; the "I" in you has determined, the
thing is settled; the die is cast, there is no longer any argument.
13. If you carry out this idea, beginning with small things which you know you can control and
gradually increase the effort, but never under any circumstances allowing your "I" to be
overruled, you will find that you can eventually control yourself, and many men and women
have found to their sorrow that it is easier to control a kingdom that to control themselves.
14. But when you have learned to control yourself you will have found the "World Within"
which controls the world without; you will have become irresistible; men and things will
respond to your every wish without any apparent effort on your part.
15. This is not so strange or impossible as it may appear when you remember that the "World
Within" is controlled by the "I" and that this "I" is a part or one with the Infinite "I" which is the
Universal Energy or Spirit, usually called God.
16. This is not a mere statement or theory made for the purpose of confirming or establishing
an idea, but it is a fact which has been accepted by the best religious thought as well as the
best scientific thought.
17. Herbert Spender said: "Amid all the mysteries by which we are surrounded, nothing is
more certain than that we are ever in the presence of an Infinite and Eternal Energy from
which all things proceed."
18. Lyman Abbott, in an address delivered before the Alumni of Bangor Theological
Seminary, said: "We are coming to think of God as dwelling in man rather than as operating
on men from without."
19. Science goes a little way in its search and stops. Science finds the ever present Eternal
Energy, but Religion finds the Power behind this energy and locates it within man. But this is
by no means a new discovery; the Bible says exactly the same thing, and the language is
just as plain and convincing: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of the living God?" Here,
then, is the secret of the wonderful creative power of the "World Within."
20. Here is the secret of power, of mastery. To overcome does not mean to go without
things. Self-denial is not success. We cannot give unless we get; we cannot be helpful unless
we are strong. The Infinite is not a bankrupt and we who are the representatives of Infinite
power should not be bankrupts either, and if we wish to be of service to others we must have
power and more power, but to get it we must give it; we must be of service.
21. The more we give the more we shall get; we must become a channel whereby the
Universal can express activity. The Universal is constantly seeking to express itself, to be of
service, and it seeks the channel whereby it can find the greatest activity, where it can do the
most good, where it can be of greatest service to mankind.
22. The Universal cannot express through you as long as you are busy with your plans, your
own purposes; quiet the senses, seek inspiration, focus the mental activity on the within,
dwell in the consciousness of your unity with Omnipotence. "Still water runs deep;"
contemplate the multitudinous opportunities to which you have spiritual access by the
Omnipresence of power.
23. Visualize the events, circumstances and conditions which these spiritual connections
may assist in manifesting. Realize the fact that the essence and soul of all things is spiritual
and that the spiritual is the real, because it is the life of all there is; when the spirit is gone,
the life is gone; it is dead; it has ceased to exist.
24. These mental activities pertain to the world within, to the world of cause; and conditions
and circumstances which result are the effect. It is thus that you become a creator. This is
important work, and the higher, loftier, grander and more noble ideals which you can
conceive, the more important the work will become.
25. Over-work or over-play or over-bodily activity of any kind produces conditions of mental
apathy and stagnation which makes it impossible to do the more important work which
results in a realization of conscious power. We should, therefore, seek the Silence frequently.
Power comes through repose; it is in the Silence that we can be still, and when we are still,
we can think, and thought is the secret of all attainment.
26. Thought is a mode of motion and is carried by the law of vibration the same as light or
electricity. It is given vitality by the emotions through the law of love; it takes form and
expression by the law of growth; it is a product of the spiritual “I”, hence its Divine, spiritual,
and creative nature.
27. From this it is evident that in order to express power, abundance or any other
constructive purpose, the emotions must be called upon to give feeling to the thought so that
it will take form. How may this purpose be accomplished? This is the vital point; how may we
develop the faith, the courage, the feeling, which will result in accomplishment?
28. The reply is, by exercise; mental strength is secured in exactly the same way that
physical strength is secured, by exercise. We think something, perhaps with difficulty the first
time; we think the same thing again, and it becomes easier this time; we think it again and
again; it then becomes a mental
