“We have come to know that thinking is a spiritual process, that vision and imagination preceded action and event, that the day of the dreamer has come.”

The Master Key System, Charles Haanel, Part Thirteen Introduction

This lesson directed me to look up the words, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient. Not because I didn’t know what they meant. Because I wanted “To Know” their meaning. I wanted to bring life and living to the Universal Laws in a way that would have me practice them like the organ I practiced at six years old. Like when I trained for competitive bodybuilding at 40 years.

I recall from prior lessons the analogy of mental practice like physical practice and I smile as to how simple yet hard this is to complete. During my sit, I literally heard DJ in my ear as a whisper of encouragement. It startled me. I choose to think it was the voice of Universal Substance.

I watched the movie Rudy on Wednesday. I apply the following excerpt as I reflect upon it:

“In creating a Mental Image or ideal, we are projecting a thought into the Universal Substance from which all things are created. This Universal Substance is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient. Are we to inform the Omniscient as to the proper channel to be used to materialize our demand? Can the finite advise the infinite? This is the cause of failure; of every failure. We recognize the Omnipresence of the Universal Substance, but we fail to appreciate the fact that this substance is not only Omnipresent, but is Omnipotent and Omniscient, and consequently will set causes in motion concerning which we may be entirely ignorant.”

The Master Key System, Charles Haanel, 13:25

In the movie, Pete, Rudy’s best friend, supporter, encourager, represented the Omnipotent and Omniscient in Rudy’s life. Rudy embraced his friend’s gestures and support and lived them when his friend (spoiler alert) dies. Rudy never strayed from his “dream” which impacted his father’s dream and that of “Fortune”, the head groundskeeper. Even the name “Fortune” has meaning! My eyes well up with tears to think that hesitating pursuit of my dream is affecting people I don’t even know.

So, I decide to act without reservation in a manner I have not acted before.

Today, I begin a new life.
