Week #2 of The Master Key Master Mind Alliance, MKMMA
On Sunday, October 5, 2014 I eagerly attended the Week Two Webinar of The Master Key Master Mind Alliance, conducted by Mark Januszewski and his dynamic crew.
The first week’s assignment was to read and digest Week One of The Master Key, start reading, daily, Scroll One of the The Greatest Salesman in the World, and that continues for 30 days, and redefine our Definite Major Purposes (DMP) and set up our 3 x 5 card system to help focus on Habit Change and Focus.
Item #1
I was interested in the fact I have probably been using the wrong WORD in defining my DMP. Over the past 50+ years I have used the word Freedom associated with one of my two Definite Major Purposes (DMP), but thanks to Mark Januszewski and his direction, the more appropriate word would be Autonomy.
Is there a difference?
Since our Subconscious Mind does NOT know Good from Bad, Big to Little maybe NOT; but there are subtle differences, according to accepted definitions:
Autonomy:
Freedom from external control or influence; independence
Freedom:
a : the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action, cited: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/freedom
Generally, one can distinguish autonomy from freedom in that the latter concerns the ability to act, without external or internal constraints and also (on some conceptions) with sufficient resources and power to make one’s desires effective. Cited from http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/autonomy-moral
So I have readjustment my Subconscious and Conscious mind to see
Autonomy.
Do you think it is a major difference?

Item #2
The next direction discussed was the impact and importance of staying the course of Og Mandino’s 10 Scrolls, from his 1968 book The Greatest Salesman in the World.
The book directs the reader to read the Scrolls, starting with Scroll One, 3 x’s a day for 30 days. I know that seems a bit sophomoric in this “sophisticated, fast paced” environment…….
BUT
The object of that exercise is TO ESTABLISH habit. And they are GOOD Habits. Our Subconscious Mind (“Subby” as named on the Webinar) does not know the difference of Good or Bad nor from where the content or data originates. If we allow or Conscious mind to provide Garbage to our Subby, garbage becomes our thought, and since thoughts are things, and things manifest, we end up being purveyors of Not-So Valuable Content and Influence. (CRAP)
So the repetition of the scrolls has merit as a Proved method of creating new Positive Habits.
Do you agree or disagree?
Would you Read something daily for 30 days and 10 Months

Item #3
As the ongoing challenge requires, each week we are directed to read several and apply the Exercises offered in Charles Haanel’s Classic, The Master Key (remember, FREE copies always available here)
Since The Master Key was originally published as a 24-week correspondence course in 1912. It was later published in book form in 1916 by Psychology Publishing, St. Louis and The Master Key Institute, New York, I am used to using the words WEEK when referencing the “Chapters”. Interesting side note that it cost $1.00 per week. The subscriber would complete the exercise and send back with $1.00 for the next “Week’s Chapter”
Week Two focuses on the Subconscious Mind (Subby) and has always been a Favorite of mine for review since first reading in 1960.

I recorded the entire The Master Key several years ago and is Available as Complete Download.
