Improve Yourself through Personal Growth and Development Week 19

Improve Yourself through Personal Growth and Development these are the goals of the participants in this Master Key MMA course.  Based on the Master Key System by Charles Haanel this week has us contemplating the nexus between fear, power or as Haanel writes “vital force”.  Haanel states “although we do not know what it is, and possibly may never know, we do know that it is a primary force which manifests through living bodies, and that by complying with the laws and principles by which it is governed, we can open ourselves to a more abundant inflow of this vital energy, and thus express the highest possible degree of mental, moral and spiritual efficiency.

Silent thought is, after all, the mightiest agent in human affairs.

~ William Ellery Channing

How do we make use of these words to attain personal growth, development and the acquisition of power. We know that through the mind and the individual’s ability to think and produce thoughts, actions are taken. Actions create our world from the matter around us.

Our thoughts are eternally taking form. If your thoughts are powerful, affirming and supporting so to will be our health, personal relationships and life in general.  However, if we allow ourselves to have weak, critical and undermining thoughts the manifestation in our lives will be fear, illness and a manifestation of lack.

The power of thought has revealed the Laws of the Universe. Is this not Power?

The Power of Thought

What then is Fear but a state lacking in Power. Fear is a paralysis of action. Is this not similar to The Law of Substitution that we, the participants in this Master Key System about Charles Haanel’s book have written on before? Concentrating on the attraction of power prevents the possibility of fear.

Use the Law of Growth “What we think about grows”, think about power in all of it’s forms, mental power, physical power, moral and spiritual power. Using the exercise of power development, how can one not improve yourself? Use your quiet time to acquire your power through concentration on the vital force that you have and wish to grow.

Growth through the Universal Mind

With the acquisition of Power there is nothing that you will fear. Tasks that you have set for your personal development and growth will be insignificant. For you have attained the power of the universe’s vital force.

In my readings from the works of Neale Donald Walsch this week I am reminded of this statement and how appropriate it is within the Master Key System. The discussion is on what is your highest vision of yourself. “Now, having seen the differences between where you are and where you want to be, begin to change — consciously change — your thoughts, words, and actions to match your grandest vision.”
