Law of Attraction: The importance of words

Excerpts from The Master Key System
By Charles F. Haanel

Words are thoughts and are therefore an invisible and invincible power which will finally
objectify themselves in the form they are given.

...The first form which thought will find is language; this determines the importance of words;
they are the first manifestation of thought – the vessels in which thought is carried. They take hold
of the ether, and by setting it in motion reproduce the thought to others in the form of sound.

Thought may lead to action of any kind, but whatever the action, it is simply the thought
attempting to express itself in visible form. It is evident, therefore, that if we wish desirable
conditions, we can afford to entertain only desirable thoughts.

This leads to the inevitable conclusion that if we wish to express abundance in our lives, we can
afford to think abundance only, and as words are only thoughts taking form, we must be especially
careful to use nothing but constructive and harmonious language, which when finally crystallized
into objective forms, will prove to our advantage...

We manifest more and more life as our thought becomes clarified and takes higher planes. This
is obtained with greater facility as we use word-pictures that are clearly defined, and relieved of the
conceptions attached to them on lower planes of thought...

If we pledge ourselves to a certain action we must be prepared to assume the responsibility
for the development of that action. The subconscious cannot reason. It takes us at our word;
we have asked for something; we are now to receive it...

knowledge does not apply itself, and that our actions are not governed by knowledge, but by custom,
precedent and habit; that the only way we can get ourselves to apply knowledge is by a determined
conscious effort. Call to mind the fact that unused knowledge passes from the mind, that the value
of the information is in the application of the principle... There is a principle of Mathematics...
if we apply the principle of Mathematics correctly, we shall be certain of our results...


My thoughts:

This section Fourteen is a pivot point for applying the Law of Attraction. Charles Haanel goes on to discuss "insight" and applying it to your thought process. I believe that "mindful thinking" and being
"intentional in thought" are at play here. One must apply great consideration at their actions
through thought and words. Practicing these principles aligns them with the natural principles
he explains, and with the harmony of the universal mind.
