The subconscious cannot take the initiative. It carried out only what is suggested by the conscious mind. But these suggestions it carries out faithfully, and it is this close relation between the conscious and subconscious which makes the conscious thinking so important.

Man’s organism is controlled by the subconscious thought; circulation, breathing, digestion, and assimilation are all activities controlled by the subconscious. The subconscious is continually getting its impulses from the conscious, and we have only to change our conscious thought to get a corresponding change in the subconscious. 

The Master Key System

The "Master Key" is here given to the world as a means of tapping the great Cosmic Intelligence and attracting from it that which corresponds to the ambitions and aspirations of each listener. 

Every thing and institution we see around us, created by human agency, first had to exist as a thought in some human mind. Thought, therefore, is constructive. 

Human thought is the spiritual power of the cosmos operating through its creature, man. The Master Key instructs the listener on how to use that power, and use it both constructively and creatively. The things and conditions we desire to become realities we must first create in thought. The Master Key explains and guides the process. 

The Master Key's teaching has hitherto been published in the form of a correspondence course of 24 lessons, delivered to students once per week for 24 weeks. 

The listener, who now receives the whole 24 parts at one time, is warned not to attempt to listen to the book like a novel, but to treat it as a course of study and conscientiously to imbibe the meaning of each part - listening one part only per week before proceeding to the next. Otherwise the later parts will tend to be misunderstood and the listener's time and money will be wasted. 

Matter in motion and ether under strain constitute the fundamental principles with which we have to do in physics. These are both vibratory activities. We speak of them as if there were two principles; there is, however, but one principle with a dual manifestation: it is cause and effect. 

Matter in motion puts ether under strain; ether under strain puts matter into motion. All phenomena in the universe are the result of the operation of this basic principle. Let us check up on those with which we are most familiar.
