Master Key System

Description

THIS BOOK is undoubtedly the most in-depth, systematic, and pragmatic of all the New Thought works. Haanel’s writing-simultaneously concise, powerful and relent-less-induces an almost trancelike state of concentration in the reader and forces a substantial shift in one’s thinking. Perhaps the most remarkable quality of The Master Key System is its terse, no-nonsense approach. Haanel never wastes a word. Each of the Twenty-Four Parts, neither more than ten or so pages in length, begins with a covering letter summarizing what the reader can expect to gain from earnest concentration on the subject matter. The lesson then develops a point-by-point analysis of the specific aspect of New Thought under review and ends with a Q & A to firmly cement the ideas in the reader’s mind. I urge you to follow the instructions contained herein as closely and faithfully as possible. The first few exercises on relaxation and concentration seem over-simple but skip them at your peril. Such an action will lead to a closing of the mind-rather than an unfoldment of the consciousness-and the reader who adopts this approach will find themselves returning to the chapter dismissed and finding pearls of wisdom previously overlooked. Haanel makes the case that new ideas-if genuinely confronted-will cause the creation of new brain cells to accommodate them. The idea seems absurd in modern times but subsequent re-readings of the book produces such new levels of comprehension that this reader is compelled to agree.
