Enclosed herewith I hand you Week Four. This part will show you why what you think, or do, or feel, is an indication of what you are. Thought is energy, and energy is power, and it is because all the religions, sciences, and philosophies with which the world has heretofore been familiar have been based upon the manifestation of this energy instead of the energy itself, that the world has been limited to effects, while causes have been ignored or misunderstood.

For this reason we have God and the Devil in religion, positive and negative in science, and good and bad in philosophy. The Master Key reverses the process; it is interested only in cause, and the letters received from students tell a marvelous story.

They indicate conclusively that students are finding the cause whereby they may secure for themselves health, harmony, abundance, and whatever else may be necessary for their welfare and happiness. Life is expressive and it is our business to express ourselves harmoniously and constructively.

Sorrow, misery, unhappiness, disease, and poverty are not necessities and we are constantly eliminating them. But this process of eliminating consists in rising above and beyond limitation of any kind. He who has strengthened and purified his thought need not concern himself about microbes, and he who has come into an understanding of the law of abundance will go at once to the source of supply.

It is thus that fate, fortune, and destiny will be controlled as readily as a captain controls his ship or an engineer his train. Week Four: Reversing The Process — From Cause To Effect 1. The “I” of you is not the physical body. That is simply an instrument which the “I” uses to carry out its purposes.

The “I” cannot be the Mind, for the mind is simply another instrument which the “I” uses with which to think, reason, and plan. 2. The “I” must be something which controls and directs both the body and the mind; something which determines what they shall do and how they shall act.

When you come into a realization of the true nature of this “I” you will enjoy a sense of power which you have never before known. 3. Your personality is made up of countless individual characteristics, peculiarities, habits, and traits of character.

These are the result of your former method of thinking, but they have nothing to do with the real “I.” 4. When you say “I think” the “I” tells the mind what it shall think; when you say “I go” the “I” tells the physical body where it shall go; the real nature of this “I” is spiritual, and is the source of the real power which comes to men and women when they come into a realization of their true nature. 5.

The greatest and most marvelous power which this “I” has been given is the power to think, but few people know how to think constructively — or correctly — so consequently they achieve only indifferent results. Most people allow their thoughts to dwell on selfish purposes, the inevitable result of an infantile mind.

When a mind becomes mature, it understands that the germ of defeat is in every selfish thought. 6. The trained mind knows that every transaction must benefit every person who is in any way connected with the transaction, and any attempt to profit by the weakness, ignorance, or necessity of another will inevitably operate to his disadvantage. 7.
