The power of our feelings


This text attempts to adapt Charles Haanel’s knowledge from his book “The Master Key System” to the 21st century. ¹

This is a translated version. The original article is available in German.

Ultimately, it is about understanding the world in which we live. Why are some people on this wonderful planet rich and happy and have all the love in the world, while others are poor, sick, and hopeless, even though everything is available without limit within us and around us. Unfortunately, many people cannot find the path to love, health, and success.
Is this given by God, determined by fate, or self-caused?
Fate is no coincidence; it is determined by our feelings! Many difficulties arise from a lack of knowledge about ourselves and our true needs. What is missing are the many unconscious feelings of the future that are still waiting to be discovered!

“Consciousness” stands for present feelings.
“Subconsciousness” stands for the many feelings stored in the nervous system.
“Unconsciousness” stands only for the life-sustaining feelings.
“Unconsciousness” stands for feelings that are not present.

Before we can “understand, be or do” something, we must “feel” it.
As long as our feelings for it are not programmed, we cannot engage with something new. When we “go cycling”, the body is activated by feelings from our subconscious. “If we have not stored any feelings for cycling, then we cannot cycle either.” Our experiences, as well as the genes and DNA we have inherited from our ancestors, are stored as personal feelings in the autonomic nervous system. As biology shows us, feelings and intelligence are continuously developing in sync in all living beings.
Real feelings become stable building blocks and unreal feelings become crumbling sandstone. It has the wonderful ability to make all these stored feelings available for our goals.

“There are no thoughts; it is feelings that are formed with words in the brain into sentences, from which new feelings arise again”!

For things like flower, house, or sun, we have “real feelings”. The mental feelings such as security, stability, attraction, relationship, love, confidence, and progress are “real subjective feelings” that we have taken over from the universe! There, there are neither destructive feelings nor emotional impoverishment, neither inferiority nor hatred nor lies, neither money nor fraud nor war. The inventions of mathematics, Euclidean geometry, time, and languages are only practical aids that make our coexistence easier. For these aids, we have “real feelings”. Finally, there are also “unreal subjective feelings” such as fears, worries, imaginings, illusions, and hallucinations.

The view of the cause of every phenomenon leads us into the depth of all wisdom. If we observe attentively what interests us, then thanks to these experiences we receive valuable impressions for our future.

The great soul of a human being differs from the soul of an ordinary human being through the “intensity of his real feelings”.
They are the true source of all sciences!

JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE described in his work “Elective Affinities” how the power of feelings can reach the outer world and also determine attraction and repulsion among the chemical elements.

Life is constantly determined by the forces of “attraction and repulsion”, a feeling familiar to us human beings, which we call “love”.
Everything in the universe has this force of gravity; it is our very own life, which protects us, nourishes us, and brings us to unfold. One sees this everywhere, in children, in animals, in plants, as well as in us human beings.
Without attraction and repulsion, life is not possible. We can learn this from animals. Most wait for the right partner, and the range of their feelings depends on their radiating power.
A mouse therefore has much less of this force than an elephant.

Intuition

For example, in us humans the quality of a tree evokes intuitions such as shade, nourishment, house-building, furniture, artwork, or firewood. It is not the mere existence of two energy-matters, but the possibilities of their intuitions that are the omnipresent driving force of all life.

The spark of genius requires no silence for intuitions. Intuitions come as real feelings from the confident subconscious. When we let go of a seemingly unsolvable problem with enough primal trust, the solution can suddenly rise into consciousness as a gift. It is not the inspiration of a higher power, “it is the power of faith, self-confidence, and confidence”!
“Believing means confidence in real wishes”!

“Whatever you ask for in your prayer, believe only that you have already received it, and it will be granted to you²”.

For this, we need our full attention on receiving solutions from the subconscious. For the ordinary person, this phenomenon meets with incomprehension; for scientifically minded people, the precision of certainty is a sensation.

The ultimate recipe for success is:

Desire > imagine > act with confidence and self-assurance!

An example:

When we try to throw a ball into a basket, this action is only successful with the feelings of “self-confidence and assurance”. The physical law of cause and effect is also the law of feelings!
These feelings are the “cause”, the achieved goal is the “effect”! In this way, real goals become reality with incredible precision! If we then also free ourselves from external appreciation and protect ourselves from external as well as internal criticism, we are “in the flow”, a term from sports!
Such results are not possible with willpower alone.

The healing of every illness also requires composure and confidence.
The cells of our immune system are thereby sensitized and strengthened.
This happens just as it does with eating, drinking, and breathing. The strength enters the body and waste leaves it again.
The placebo effect is a good example of how only these feelings make healing possible. This influence on our body is also evident in the case of a broken leg. A doctor can certainly set a broken leg, but only the confidence in self-healing stored in the subconscious has the power that is also responsible for all life-sustaining bodily functions.

“Diseases are no coincidence; they do not fall from the sky either.”
As we age, our body is increasingly influenced by our destructive feelings. These useless, unreal inventions, together with the weakened digestive organs, are the cause of most diseases!

“We are what we feel.”
“What I feared has come upon me ³”!

In addition, two destructive and two constructive feelings! “Fears and worries” are hopeless; they only paint the devil on the wall. And the fear of disease attracts disease. “Mindfulness and confidence are constructive”; they bring peace, health, security, and success.

Paralysis arises from a subconscious insecurity, Alzheimer’s from emotional numbness, and Parkinson’s from fears of illness or death.
Heart problems are the result of a lack of affection toward fellow human beings, and diabetics have the great difficulty of feeling love and affection.
Hemophiliacs generally have too little confidence stored in their subconscious, and many retirees are marked by a feeling of hopelessness and the onset of depression.

If the reservoir of confidence in the subconscious empties, healing is no longer possible. If these feelings have left the patient, he loses his love, his feelings (soul), his attraction, and ultimately his life. All energy-matter slowly disintegrates after death into „Dark-Energy-Matter-Particles“, which are absorbed by the Earth and at some point become available to a new life.

“The subject dies, but not life! This becoming and passing away is the continuum of the universe, an eternal breathing from Big Bang to Big Bang”!

“Destructive feelings, however, cannot simply be thrown into the sea”.

In order to be able to change undesirable life circumstances, one should reset all selfish needs. Selfish people are not capable of this. They can only consume love, affection, harmony, and property.

We can only turn off a lack of self-confidence and destructive feelings such as inferiority, fear, and hopelessness if we focus on our important needs and goals with composure, confidence, and love! “The subconscious never sleeps”.
These feelings have the highest frequency; they stand for wisdom, strength, and prosperity and eliminate every form of error and always have control over the body and our mental attitude!

“Ultimately, it is about feeling self-confident, valuable, and unique. These feelings are always successful, self-determined, and complete”.

From now on, we should become aware that we truly live in a wonderful world and that each of us is very valuable.¹
We become a beacon of the joy of living, and we will succeed in meeting all people with love.

They suspect that no eye has seen and no ear has heard, and into no human heart has come what awaits those who dare to set out for the “promised land.” They have crossed the “river of judgment” and have come to the point where they can distinguish “between right and wrong.” And they have found that everything they ever dreamed of was only a faint reflection of what reality now holds in store for them.⁴

Ps.:
With the “departure for the promised land” is meant the “land of hope”, “in which, free from prejudice, new ways of life emerge”.
“You have crossed the river of judgment” means: You left all inherited opinions and destructive feelings behind in order to be able to distinguish between right and wrong”.

And Einstein’s words: “I do not know whether infinity exists, but I do know that the stupidity of mankind is infinite” can also mean:

“Most people, out of convenience, are not willing to leave well-worn paths!
