The document is a summary of the discussion from Part 17 of The Master Key System study group. It covers several key points about concentration and its power to attract knowledge and manifest desires when the mind is continuously focused in a given direction through persistent, patient effort. It also discusses how intuition can be developed through cultivating an appreciation for insights that arrive without memory or experience.
Once Napoleon Hill said,"we do not have to wait future discoveries in connection with the powers of the human mind for evidence that the mind is the greatest force known to mankind. We know, now, that any idea, aim or purpose that is fixed in the mind and held there with a will to achieve or attain its physical or material equivalent, puts into motion powers that cannot be conquered."

I would like to talk about the role of “heart” tools in our IA/UX practice. Often, our tools and methods are analytical and logic-oriented exercises. In this talk, I would like to suggest a fresh approach to our IA practice. We will explore “heart” tools and methods that are shown to be more persuasive than “head” methods – when push comes to shove.
First, we will discuss reasons heart tools have been left out, where head tools have dominated our field. These include west versus eastern philosophies, traditions, and a brief historical perspective.
We will then look at the different types of heart tools, their origins, and how these practices (often spiritual in nature) can be adapted to our IA practice, including: creative visualization, mental walkthroughs, and the practice of centeredness and connectedness.
Next, we will use real or near-real work-related examples and discuss how heart tools can be used in each situation, and how heart tools will help us get the type of results we want in our deliverables, meetings, workshops, presentations, and client relationships.
I see these ideas as a new layer on top of our current tools, and not as a replacement. Heart tools will elevate our practice to a whole new level of understanding and effectiveness, not only as IA practitioners, but also as engaged people who deeply understand and love our work, ourselves, others, and our world.
Absolutely one of the most inspiring book on New Thought. You cannot help being highly inspired by its reading. Read it a few pages at a time and meditate on what you have read.
THINK AND GROW RICH is a mega best-seller by Napoleon Hill with timeless wisdom from the original philosopher of personal success.
Here are key excerpts from the book and if you like what you read, read the whole book!

Think and Grow Rich Workbook-Chapter 13 - The Braincanei2day
I have created a Think and Grow Rich Workbook. There is a separate file for each chapter in the book. This chapter is on The Brain. Your brain is a broadcasting and receiving station for thought. The thoughts you think with intensity are broadcast and picked up by others. You naturally tune into the thoughts of other people. When you learn how to use your brain to broadcast and receive what you want, you will make better decisions, take better actions, and have more consistent success.
This is based on thirteen success principles presented in the book, THINK AND GROW RICH by Napoleon Hill, one of the world's top success coaches.As well as, this book is identified as the best book ever written on the acquisition of wealth.The book discusses thirteen principles one should be concerned upon when acquiring wealth. Hope, you will have a great future by referring this. Thank you Napoleon, the genuine author of THINK AND GROW RICH-all the credits go to you. Good luck..
Spiritual Development and the Polarities of TypeKartik Subbarao
The lessons of meditation and psychological type theory reinforce each other in fundamental ways. Meditation can be thought of as an exercise in expanding awareness. When we notice that our mind has taken on the narrow form of a train of thought, we gently reach out beyond that form, reconnecting to the intention with which we began our meditation. As we practice reaching out again and again, our available mental space expands. In our daily activities, we become able to embrace the polarities of type more fully. If we feel stuck in the perspective of a particular cognitive function, we can reach out beyond its boundaries to one of its opposing functions and reconnect with a broader whole. Even if some polarities are more challenging than others, the net effect of this mental crosstraining is to maintain both spaciousness and groundedness, from which we can act more clearly and to which we can surrender more deeply.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

3. Oh Divine Providence , I ask not for more riches but more wisdom with which to use the riches you gave me at birth in the form of power to control and direct my mind to whatever ends I desire. Napoleon Hill
4.
5. The kind of Deity which a man, consciously or unconsciously, worships, indicates the intellectual status of the worshipper.
6. Ask the Indian of God, and he will describe to you a powerful chieftain of a glorious tribe.
7. Ask the Pagan of God, and he will tell you of a God of fire, a God of water, a god of this, that, and the other.
8. Ask the Israelite of God, and he will tell you of the God of Moses, who conceived it expedient to rule by coercive measures; hence, the Ten Commandments.
9. Or of Joshua, who led the Israelites into battle, confiscated property, murdered the prisoners, and laid waste to cities.
10. The so-called heathen made "graven images" of their Gods, whom they were accustomed to worship,
11. but among the most intelligent, at least, these images were but the visible fulcrums with which they were enabled to mentally concentrate on the qualities which they desired to externalize in their lives.
12. We of the twentieth century worship a God of Love in theory, but in practice we make for ourselves "graven images" of "Wealth," "Power," "Fashion," "Custom" and "Conventionality."
20. Thought is the activity which controls every principle beneath it.
21. aspects and relation of everything with which it comes in contact. The highest principle by reason of its superior essence and qualities necessarily determines the circumstances,
22. 2. The vibrations of mental forces are the finest and consequently the most powerful in existence.
23. To those who perceive the nature and transcendency of mental force, all physical power sinks into insignificance.
24. 3. We are accustomed to look upon the Universe with a lens of five senses,
25. and from these experiences our anthropomorphic conceptions originate,
28. and is only secured when the mind is continuously concentrated in a given direction.
29. 4. Continuous concentration means an even, unbroken flow of thought and is the result of patient, persistent, persevering and well-regulated system.
31. The science of mathematics requires years of concentrated effort to master it,
32. and the greatest science -- that of the Mind -- is revealed only through concentrated effort.
33. 6. Concentration is much misunderstood; there seems to be an idea of effort or activity associated with it, when just the contrary is necessary.
34. The greatness of an actor lies in the fact that he forgets himself in the portrayal of his character,
35. becoming so identified with it, that the audience is swayed by the realism of the performance.
36. This will give you a good idea of true concentration; you should be so interested in your thought, so engrossed in your subject, as to be conscious of nothing else.
37. Such concentration leads to intuitive perception and immediate insight into the nature of the object concentrated upon.
38. 7. All knowledge is the result of concentration of this kind; it is thus that the secrets of Heaven and Earth have been wrested;
39. it is thus that the mind becomes a magnet and the desire to know draws the knowledge, irresistibly attracts it , makes it your own.
40. 8. Desire is largely subconscious; conscious desire rarely realizes its object when the latter is out of immediate reach.
41. Subconscious desire arouses the latent faculties of the mind, and difficult problems seem to solve themselves.
42. 9. The subconscious mind may be aroused and brought into action in any direction and made to serve us for any purpose, by concentration.
43. The practice of concentration requires the control of the physical and mental being;
44. all modes of consciousness whether physical or mental must be under control.
46. it is this which will enable you to grow out of limited attainment and reach a point where you will be able to translate modes of thought into character and consciousness.
47. 11. Concentration does not mean mere thinking of thoughts, but the transmutation of these thoughts into practical values;
59. 14. The astronomer centers his mind on the stars and they give forth their secrets;
60. the geologists centers his mind on the construction of the earth and we have geology; so with all things.
61. Men center their minds on the problems of life, and the result is apparent in the vast and complex social order of the day.
62. 15. All mental discovery and attainment are the result of desire plus concentration;
63. desire is the strongest mode of action; the more persistent the desire, the more authoritative the revelation.
64. Desire added to concentration will wrench any secret from nature.
65. 16. In realizing great thoughts, in experiencing great emotions that correspond with great thoughts, the mind is in a state where it appreciates the value of higher things.
66. 17. The intensity of one moment's earnest concentration and the intense longing to become and to attain may take you further than years of slow normal and forced effort;
67. it will unfasten the prison bars of unbelief, weakness, impotence and self-belittlement, and you will come into a realization of the joy of overcoming.
68. 18. The spirit of initiative and originality is developed through persistence and continuity of mental effort.
69. Business teaches the value of concentration and encourages decision of character;
73. 19. Many of the sturdy and substantial virtues are developed in commercial employment; the mind is steadied and directed; it becomes efficient.
74. The principal necessity is the strengthening of the mind so that it rises superior to the distractions and wayward impulses of instinctive life and thus successfully overcomes in the conflict between the higher and lower self.
75. 20. All of us are dynamos, but the dynamo of itself is nothing; the mind must work the dynamo; then it is useful and its energy can be definitely concentrated.
76. The mind is an engine whose power is undreamed;
86. so the mind absorbs the object of its attention, gives it life and being.
87. 22. If you concentrate on some matter of importance, the intuitive power will be set in operation, and help will come in the nature of information which will lead to success.
101. there is no limit to the things that can be done when it is given the power to act.
102. Your degree of success is determined by the nature of your desire.
103. If the nature of your desire is in harmony with Natural Law or the Universal Mind, it will gradually emancipate the mind and give you invincible courage.
104. 26. Every obstacle conquered, every victory gained, will give you more faith in your power, and you will have greater ability to win.
106. if this attitude is one of success, and is permanently held with an unswerving purpose, you will attract to you from the invisible domain the things you silently demand.
107. 27. By keeping the thought in mind, it will gradually take tangible form.
108. A definite purpose sets causes in motion which go out in the invisible world and find the material necessary to serve your purpose.
109. 28. You may be pursuing the symbols of power, instead of power itself.
110. You may be pursuing fame instead of honor, riches instead of wealth, position instead of servitude;
111. in either event you will find that they turn to ashes just as you overtake them.
112. 29. Premature wealth or position cannot be retained because it has not been earned; we get only what we give,
113. and those who try to get without giving always find that the law of compensation is relentlessly bringing about an exact equilibrium.
114. 30. The race has usually been for money and other mere symbols of power,
115. but with an understanding of the true source of power, we can afford to ignore the symbols.
116. The man with a large bank account finds it unnecessary to load his pockets down with gold;
117. so with the man who has found the true source of power; he is no longer interested in its shams or pretensions.
132. this is the germ cell, the life principle which goes forth and sets in motion those causes which guide, direct and bring about the necessary relation, which eventually manifest in form.
133. Thought is the property of those only who can entertain it. Emerson
