To Think Big Thoughts

The Master Key System

Part Twenty-One

5. Life Of Ideas

An illustration of how the mind forces operate is suggested by the

method in which all our habits are formed. We do a thing, then do it

again, and again, and again, until it becomes easy and perhaps

almost automatic; and the same rule applies in breaking any and all

bad habits; we stop doing a thing, and then avoid it again, and

again until we are entirely free from it; and if we do fail now and

then, we should by no means lose hope, for the law is absolute and

invincible and gives us credit for every effort and every success,

even though our efforts and successes are perhaps intermittent.

There is no limit to what this law can do for you; dare to believe

in your own idea; remember that Nature is plastic to the ideal;

think of the ideal as an already accomplished fact.

The real battle of life is one of ideas; it is being fought out by

the few against the many; on the one side is the constructive and

creative thought, on the other side the destructive and negative

thought; the creative thought is dominated by an idea, the passive

thought is dominated by appearances. On both sides are men of

science, men of letters, and men of affairs.

On the creative side are men who spend their time in laboratories,

or over microscopes and telescopes, side by side with the men who

dominate the commercial, political, and scientific world; on the

negative side are men who spend their time investigating law and

precedent, men who mistake theology for religion, statesmen who

mistake might for right, and all the millions who seem to prefer

precedent to progress, who are eternally looking backward instead of

forward, who see only the world without, but know nothing of the

world within.

In the last analysis there are but these two classes; all men will

have to take their place on one side or the other; they will have to

go forward, or go back; there is no standing still in a world where

all is motion; it is this attempt to stand still that gives sanction

and force to arbitrary and unequal codes of law.
