The Master Key System — Thought Power and Universal Mind
Connecting with Universal Mind
Charles Haanel taught that the individual mind is connected to a vast, infinite intelligence he called the Universal Mind. This Universal Mind is the source of all creativity, all knowledge, and all power. The individual who learns to consciously connect with this Mind gains access to resources far beyond what the personal intellect can provide.
"The Universal Mind is the creative principle of the cosmos. It creates by thought. The individual is a channel through which this creative force distributes itself," Haanel wrote. You are not a separate entity trying to attract things from an external universe. You are an expression of the Universal Mind itself, and when you think creatively, the full power of the universal creative process flows through you.
This connection is not something you need to create or earn. It already exists. Every person is always connected to Universal Mind. The difference between the powerful creator and the helpless victim is simply awareness. The person who is aware of the connection and uses it deliberately becomes a conscious creator. The person who is unaware of it remains at the mercy of circumstances.
