A
simple, positive vision held and empowered by a dedicated few will provide the
basis for a transformation of humanity and the salvation of our planet.
The Arcadian Society is a global, benevolent society of visionary people - each an Emissary of Peace. We are working independently, yet in unison, sharing and empowering a vision of a New Paradigm that will provide workable solutions to the challenges that face our planet and humankind as inhabitants upon it.
If you choose to continue reading, you will be challenged to understand the concepts we discuss. Learn the concepts and perhaps you will begin to understand why you are where you are at this moment in your reality. The understanding gained will free you from the feeling of being trapped as a victim and empower you with the knowledge and ability to become the author of your own script and a co-creator in the future of humanity and our Earth.
We believe that a vision that will provide solutions to the seemingly insurmountable problems facing us at this time in history is presently manifesting despite the popular media's focus on the negativity of the reality we've created. Whether we realize it or not, we are empowering, through our focused attention, the very problems that we wish to resolve.
While various think tanks are working to solve the problems facing the planet and humanity, it is our opinion that the solutions being offered are akin to slapping a mere band-aid over a gaping wound and declaring it "healed." We believe the solutions offered by the traditional think tanks not only fail to address the underlying principles of the problems, they would take far too long to implement resulting in further needless suffering of humanity and Nature, alike.
So, what is the solution?
We believe the solution is so simple that it would seem ridiculously impossible - but just the opposite is true. The solution we propose DOES work. Many are aware of the Universal Laws of Intentional Creation; the Laws of Attraction, Intention and Allowance. In summary, that upon which you focus expands. The more attention/intention you focus upon it, the more dominant it becomes until, at a point, it IS your new reality.
Simply put, by shifting our mental focus from the problems to a solution - a vision of a New Paradigm - we will begin to empower a new reality. As our focus shifts from the problems we've created to that which we desire as a new reality, the negative energy that maintains the undesirable reality will be reduced and the problems and the systems creating them will collapse. However, that is not the whole solution.
There must first be movement beyond mere desire into an active positive thought projection for the purpose of manifesting this New Paradigm experience. After the creative dreaming of possibilities follows the purposeful focus process to place the skeletal outline in place. The great reward will be the painting in of the details with the experience of that which you will have created. The joy of that part of the process shall be wonderful indeed!
The vision of the New Paradigm must be a bold and original work. It cannot consist of merely fixing the existing system, for that was fatally flawed from its very inception. The new vision will challenge your creative abilities, forcing you to expand your imagination into realms yet unrealized.
The key to success is JOY!
While having a vision is essential to the Intentional Creation process, there is a key element necessary to the success of the process and that key is the JOY of creation! Simply intending out of a sense of urgency and fear of all that which may occur if we don't create something "better" isn't going to produce a positive result, as it is the underlying energy of FEAR that is the motivation. Manifestation of a New Paradigm must begin with the confident assurance of the inevitability of all that is Intended by you as its co-creator. That confidence is born of a Gratitude for All That Is and the JOY of your awakening to the realization of the amazing abilities that you have to not only influentially interact with the mechanics of creation, but to actually design the rich and wondrous tapestry of your life.
Understand that it is the emotional content of your vision - the feelings that inspired that vision - that engage the gears of the mechanics of creation. Vision without Passion will remain as just a dream.
A tall order? Yes. Impossible? No - it's already working!
In order to be most effective, the changes desired must begin with you and me at a level of mind. We must change our attitude and the manner in which we consider and interact with this Earth and our fellow inhabitants upon it. We must begin by manifesting positive change in our own lives, first. We must provide the example by living the philosophy. This is simple in concept, but not so easy to implement.
If you ask for assistance from Divine Intelligence it will be given to you. We can begin by requesting wisdom and the courage to turn from our present manner of exploiting Nature and our fellow human beings. Then we must resolve to depart from that philosophy of fear, greed, and competition, and turn to one of reverence for our Earth, and love for and cooperation with one another. The resulting energy of this new attitude and wisdom will guide us on our journey into the new reality envisioned.
You could also request inspiration for a personal vision that provides peace, love, joy and prosperity to you, as well as for all of creation. Be assured that the Creative Order will honor the request and guide the process if only you will make the sincere request and then Intend and Expect to receive the guidance. That is the first step - getting our own house in order before explaining to others how theirs is in disarray.
"So why not just ask God to solve the problems for us?" you may ask.
That is NOT feasible. We created this reality. As co-creators of this present situation it is our responsibility to change it. It is only by changing our attitudes, beliefs, and values that have resulted in this present situation that we can effect lasting change. If the problems were to be magically solved for us, we would simply continue down our present path of ignorance and exploitation and within a very short time we would again be right where we are today. No, until we learn the lessons we are doomed to repeat our mistakes. Thus, direct divine intervention is not the solution.
We believe that a simple, positive vision held and empowered by a dedicated few will provide the basis for a transformation of the mass consciousness of humanity to the new reality envisioned. We each have an opportunity to contribute our own piece of a mental picture of the vision which will become a mass-consciousness vision of incredible magnitude. As more people add their own carefully considered piece to the vision, it will begin to take the three dimensional form necessary to materialize into a physical reality - the New Paradigm.
The Hundredth Monkey Principle? Perhaps.
"And how could that possibly happen," you may ask, "that a small group of visionaries can inspire the billions of other people that would be needed to achieve this great task?" Researchers have discovered the "science" behind the workability of this bold, yet simple plan. Some believe the process is one of mass communication popularly referred to as the "the hundredth monkey principle." Accordingly, at a certain point of saturation of the mass consciousness with a new concept, the thought will go "critical" and instantaneously the mass consciousness of humanity will know the concept.
While the jury is still out regarding the validity of data that resulted in the Hundredth Monkey theory, there is good solid research and evidence of the telepathic communication phenomenon that we, as dynamic, self-contemplating energy unconsciously utilize in our daily communication that can ultimately solve our present dilemma.
To illustrate, an interesting and monumental study was conducted in 1993 by a group of researchers who demonstrated that indeed it is possible for a small dedicated group to influence the collective consciousness through focused thought. The experiment took place in the U.S. capital of Washington D.C. as the National Demonstration Project to Reduce Violent Crime and Improve Governmental Effectiveness brought approximately 4,000 "focused thought" participants to the capital from June 7 to July 30, 1993. A 27-member independent Project Review Board consisting of sociologists and criminologists from leading universities, representatives from the police department and government of the District of Columbia, and civic leaders approved in advance the research protocol for the project and monitored its progress.
This small gathering of focused-thought people was able to manifest a maximum decrease of 23.3% in violent crime in the greater D.C. area during the test session!!! The statistical probability that this result could reflect chance variation in crime levels was less than 2 in 1 billion! Earlier, the skeptical mayor of Washington D.C. openly declared that it would take two feet of snow to produce any significant drop in crime in D.C. (See http://www.istpp.org/crime_prevention for details).
To further appreciate the amazing significance of this event, we need to consider that the statistic quoted doesn't include the decrease of non-violent crime during that same period. Adding that factor to the scenario paints a much more complete picture of the phenomenal magnitude of the positive influence exerted upon the people of D.C. by the focus group.
Be aware, too, that the focus group was not merely wishing to spread "good vibes" among the people. They were INTENDING to positively influence that which could be considered to be the most difficult of all possible subjects - the habitually-hardened criminal mind. The bottom line is that they manifested, by their focused thought alone, a heretofore seemingly impossible feat that resulted in a major shift in the reality of the masses!
Consider also the research of Dr. Masaru Emoto in which he conclusively proves that our thoughts and emotions do have a direct influence upon matter. Dr. Emoto discovered that concentrated specific thoughts, projected at water, will result in dramatic changes in the resulting ice crystals when the water sample is frozen. Positive, loving thoughts and emotions produced brilliant, beautifully complex snowflakes, while negative thought forms projected at the same water sample resulted in incomplete, dull and asymmetrical snowflakes (see www.masaru-emoto.net for details).

The implications of Dr. Emoto's and Dr. Len's work stagger the reasoning mind!
Consider for a moment that we - each and every one of us - and indeed almost every living thing on the planet, is composed mainly of water. Our thoughts, attitudes, and intentions are directly influencing, either positively or negatively, our environment all around us. Taking that one step further, we, as thought contemplating itself, have the ability, through focused INTENTION, to "create" within our own water-laden cells an environment of health, happiness, peace and prosperity.
Perhaps Dr. Emoto's work helps to explain how it can be that a focused-thought group can directly and positively influence the reality of a whole city of people who were oblivious to the process. One thing is for certain - we can and DO - knowingly or unknowingly, influence the thoughts (and water bodies) of those around us. We can and DO influence all living things within our environment through our thoughts and intentions.
And perhaps Dr. Emoto's research can provide us with insight into the the extraordinary remote healing powers of Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. This man is renown for his feat of curing a complete ward of criminally insane patients by simply studying their charts - without ever making contact with the patient! You see, he understands that we are all responsible - personally responsible - for the condition of society as well as that of the planet.
ALL IS ONE and ONE IS ALL
Traditionally we've been taught that total responsibility refers to our own actions - our own intentions - our own life. But when you understand that we are all interconnected in the energy web of life, you begin to realize that ALL IS ONE and ONE IS ALL. There is no you, and me, and them. We are all connected to the same Source of All That Is. We are all part of the ONE same consciousness.
Dr. Len not only understands the concept, he Lives it. His therapeutic approach to healing, known as "Ho O' pono pono," is to go inside himself and find the cause of the problem. When he has forgiven and healed it within himself it is forgiven and healed in the patient. When asked how he does it he explains, "I was simply healing the part of me that created them." Accordingly, Dr. Len explains that total responsibility for your life means that everything in your life - simply because it IS your life - is your responsibility. In a very literal sense the entire world is your co-creation.
When asked what he actually did when he healed the criminal ward he said that he looked at their charts and said to the imbalance within himself, "I'm sorry" and "I love you," repeating it over and over again until the imbalance was healed within him.
So, what are your projected thoughts and intentions for yourself... your mate... your children... mankind, and the planet? What kind of thoughts and intentions do you project into others? Are your projected thoughts the type that you would like projected back at you? A positive change of your thoughts and intentions can help to transform you into becoming a part of the solution instead of remaining a victim of fear which leaves us as not much more than human parasites exploiting each other and our Earth. Take a moment and ponder that kind of healing potential and understand that it is YOUR potential if only you CHOOSE to develop and use it.
You can see now that it is not too much of a stretch of mind to imagine that we CAN heal the planet through our change of attitude and focused intention of loving concern for all life upon it. We can become, once again, an ally in harmony with the Creative Order of the planet instead of just another plundering adversary.
Once the Intention is made within the Joyful assurance that it will manifest, (the Law of) Allowance is necessary to maintain the manifestation process. We humans have been taught that we must expend physical energy to make things happen for us. It is a belief based upon the application of Force in order for us to have our own way. It is a very childish and primitive concept to be sure, but, for the most part, the only one we have been taught, learned, and practiced.
But there is another way, and that is the creative process that takes place at the energetic level. It does not require the expenditure of physical force. Once the Intention, in the form of desire within Joy, has been offered to the Universe with an expectation of the desired result, we need to ALLOW Divine Intelligence to act upon the forces of the Universe and upon the minds of humanity to bring about the desired result.
This is rather difficult for most as we humans want to get ourselves into the thick of it to somehow control the process of achieving the desired outcome in the manner that we, in our limited human perspective, believe is the best method. While we all have been taught the concepts of Faith through various traditional religious teachings and claim to "believe," the fact is demonstrated by our actions that we really don't believe at all! We need to develop true Faith in the assurance of the desired outcome and get out of the way, so to speak, and Allow Divine Process to occur.
Some will argue that not everyone will choose to be a part of this utopian project and will remain locked in a negative transmitting mode. While that may be true, as we all have the gift of free will, the negativity produced by those who simply don't get it will serve a useful purpose in that their created reality will help to provide the contrast between that which is presently observed and that which we desire. It is that contrast which is needed to inspire a greater Desire for positive change. As more of humanity awakens to their potential those few outposts of negativity will eventually catch on or leave the planet!
Why is all the negativity allowed in the first place?
Many question why all the negativity is allowed in the first
place. Negativity is a necessary element in the Desire/Creation equation. It
is when the balance is (seemingly) tipping toward the negative - from our human
survival perspective - that we become concerned about balance in the Universe.
However, it is the awareness of a perceived imbalance which evokes the greater
Desire for the Positive. The focus on that greater Positive desire results in
the manifestation of that positive reality. And so swings the pendulum. It has
always been this way and so it shall always be this way. It is part of the Grand
Design of the Universe. It is not a "good" dynamic or a "bad" dynamic, it just
IS.
As cosmic and
geophysical cycles near completion there is a great undercurrent of unrest
within creation. It is an unconscious knowingness of an imminent change.
Unfortunately the uncertainty of change breeds fear in most minds by which the present system
is empowered. Whether that change be "good" or "bad" is simply a matter of
how you choose to perceive the changes. We believe and understand that change is
inevitable and that it brings with it opportunity for those who do not fear it.
These changes are the beginning of an awakening process within all of Creation
and are not something to be feared.
Keeping focused on the vision and intention of the New Paradigm as events unfold around us will help to encourage the fearful and the timid as they begin to tune into the new vision that we are mentally broadcasting. Once the new vision is perceived by the masses, they will shift their focus from the problems to the solution - a vision of the New Paradigm. They will become encouraged and empowered, thus helping, one-by-one, to usher in a new age based upon spiritual principles of love, allowance, and understanding - instead of the bedrock of greed and fear upon which this present system is built.
Throughout history we have been given certain "truths"...
...which have been intended to provide humanity with insight as to our purpose and the nature of our reality. Unfortunately, in the past the information has been altered or simply kept from us in order to maintain the mental enslavement within which mankind is presently trapped.
Within the last century we have learned much of the nature of energy and matter through various theories put forth by Tesla and Einstein, most notably. Tesla's inspiration would help us understand the very energy of which we are composed, while Einstein's particle/wave theory would introduce us to the nature of our supernatural being. However the inspiration given to them to share with mankind was kept shrouded in scientific mystery and then reduced to mere mechanisms for the creation of commercial gadgets and a better bomb.
More recently it was the daring work of such pioneers as Erwin Schrödinger, Werner Heisenberg, Neils Bohr and Wolfgang Pauli who have revealed to us the wonders within the realm of quantum physics that provide explanations of the mechanics of miracles and reveal the divine connectedness of All That IS. Thus leading us to an understanding of how it is that we create our reality within the Zero Point Field.
Once again that knowledge by which we can contemplate and understand the nature of our being, our purpose, and our future is available. Will we tune in and heed the message this time or will we turn a deaf ear as we have in the past?
You may ask, "What can I - one individual - do that could make a difference?" This whole daring plan can only work through the efforts of a few dedicated individuals. We have all heard that "many are called, but few are chosen." The fact is that many are called but few CHOOSE to answer the call. However, those few who do answer are all that are needed to change the course of history.
Many feel that they are somehow not qualified or intelligent enough for this task. However we are reminded by one of the greatest minds of all time, Albert Einstein, that Imagination is far more important than mere intelligence.
You don't need to be an Einstein, or a Nobel Prize winner, nor a great orator or diplomat to be effective in sharing the vision of the New Paradigm. You only need to be you - a concerned human being dedicated to becoming part of the solution. This daring plan can only work with the efforts of you and me, and all of us on this planet at a grassroots level. It will not happen by legislation or yet another political action group within the constructs of existing governments - they have failed miserably thus far. There is no reason to believe that they can or will contribute to this effort. It can only happen as a result of human beings everywhere remembering, honoring, protecting and cherishing their humanity and collectively creating the New Paradigm. It is already happening. All you have to do is add your vision to that of countless millions of others who are beginning to awaken to this truth at this time.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
We believe that within each and every one of us lie the seeds of greatness - a potential to rise to the challenge and accomplish truly great things. We each have the ability to elevate the human spirit to realms yet unexplored. The fact is that we are each creating every moment and element of our personal and collective realities. These creative forces are constantly at work within our minds. The question is, are we to simply be passive recipients of the process, or shall we take charge and consciously direct the process? Shall we have a vision of the destination to be reached, a knowledge of the dangers to be avoided, or shall we aimlessly drift on the sea of creation - remaining victims of chance and circumstance?
Obviously, any thinking person will choose to be the master of their own destiny. The process by which that is accomplished is simple, but not necessarily easy. It requires the expenditure of effort. The effort to develop discipline in one's thinking and creating processes. The disciplined mind will become the most effective creator of a personal, as well as the collective reality. In this case, the New Paradigm.
Consider for a moment that you, personally, have a unique opportunity to write your own line into history. The question is, What will your line be? What will history remember about you? What contribution will you make for the betterment of humanity and the planet? Through your focused Intention and thought, you can personally affect the mechanics of creation and contribute to the realization of lasting peace, prosperity, happiness and dignity for all of humanity.
If you decide to become a part of this effort, there are no expectations of you, as your degree of participation is a very personal decision. And there are no qualifications which must be met other than having a sincere desire and a commitment to becoming a part of the solution. Your participation with us is by choice alone and can be as simple or as involved as you wish.
Some have asked, "What would I actually do?" To those who ask, we suggest you begin to understand who you are and what your role could be in becoming part of the solution. By the Law of Attraction, your desire, intention, and commitment to the solution will move you down the path of greater awareness of that which your role could, or should be in this endeavor. It has already brought you to this point in your awareness. But ultimately, only you will know what it is that you need to do. No one else can tell you what your role is - you are the author of your own script.
For those who wish to do something positive right away, your participation could be as simple as passing on the information on this website. For others who believe that they are answering a calling and wish to establish their efforts into a more formally organized form, we do offer assistance to our members in establishing their vision as a not-for profit mission or "ministry" in the service of humanity and our precious Earth. If this is of interest to you please contact us through the e-mail link further down this page for details about the benefits of private membership in The Arcadian Society.
Don't wait. Begin your journey now!
There are many ways by which we can reach a particular destination - in this case the destination being an understanding of our potential as creators of our reality and the development of our creative abilities. Some may wish to take the slow, scenic route while others may be in more of a hurry to arrive and thus may "journey" every day.
Whichever mode you may choose, it is most important to begin the journey on your path to awareness, understanding and the development of your abilities to create your reality and to participate in the co-creation of the collective reality of all humanity upon our Earth.
To assist in that process, we are pleased to be able to provide one of the most significant books ever written on the subject of intentional creation and self empowerment, The Master Key System, written in 1912 by Charles F. Haanel. When introduced it was hailed by many as the greatest book ever written. However it was soon branded as heresy and banned by mainstream religious leaders of the day and had virtually disappeared - until recently.
The Master Key System is presented in a logical lesson-by-lesson format and is intended to be studied incrementally, step-by-step, until all aspects of the subject are completely understood and mastered - a process that is exciting as well as personally empowering.
Haanel teaches that thought is energy; active thought is active energy; and focused thought is a concentrated energy. Thought concentrated on a definite purpose becomes power. This is the same power which was used by the focused thought group mentioned earlier who gathered in Washington, D.C. in the summer of 1993 to demonstrate our abilities to positively influence the collective consciousness of humanity and our environment. However, it must be understood that the focused thought group was not composed of average people from off the street. The group was specially trained in focused thought projection. That was the secret of their phenomenal success. That is the training available here through The Master Key System.
The greatest and most marvelous power which we possess is our power to think. We all arrive on this plane as equals with equal opportunity and free will. However, it is by our thinking that we become segregated and classified. Few people know how to think logically, constructively, clearly or correctly, consequently they achieve only indifferent results when applying the tools of intentional creation. Since our childhood, society, religion, and family have taught us WHAT to think, but most of us have never learned HOW to think. Therefore, by training our minds to think in a more efficient manner, a focused manner, we can become more effective in our creation of a new reality for ourselves and the generations to come.
Through The Master Key System Haanel has taught thousands of people the principles by which they created their own realities of health, happiness, fame and fortune. We believe that if you follow its guidance in the step-by-step manner in which it is presented, you, too, will learn to create any reality you desire - your piece of the New Paradigm vision.
The link to our printable version of The Master Key System is provided below, free of charge, where we have also provided the Introduction and Forward to the course for those who may wish to preview the subject matter before printing the full book.
We have also included links to additional sources of information that we believe you will find helpful in coming to a greater understanding of the intentional creation process and in utilizing the tools for improvement in your personal life such as the teachings of Abraham as found at: www.abraham-hicks.com . While there is much to be gained from Abraham, we specifically recommend the CD series, The Starter Set Of Abraham Basics, as the first step to learning your true potential as a creator of your own reality.*
Just recently we have been introduced to another source of enlightenment and inspiration that encompasses the Laws of Intentional Creation as explained in a wonderful little book written by Wallace D. Wattles in 1910 and entitled, The Science of Getting Rich. Mr. Wattles took a very different approach to intentional creation and teaches that if we will scientifically reproduce the causes of wealth, we will invariably reproduce the results. While Wattles utilized the Intentional Creation process for monetary enrichment of life, the principles apply to any desire you may have. A free of charge link to his book is provided below.
After studying The Master Key System some may wish to delve into more of the details behind the mechanics of thought and the creation of personal reality. There is much to be learned from the Handbook for the New Paradigm and it sequels, Embracing The Rainbow and Becoming. The information is lengthy and will challenge many of your basic beliefs about your reality. But for those of you who do read it through completely, you will find it will provide you with understanding unlike anything you've read before. All are available free of charge and in printable format through the links below.
The study of these various materials can provide insight into putting your personal life in order by using your newly-learned tools of Intentional Creation to manifest peace, love, prosperity and perfect health in your own life while developing a deeper reverence for our Earth. You begin by envisioning and manifesting your own personal piece of the vision of the New Paradigm. Create the New Paradigm in your mind and in your life right now! You will then become more effective in helping others by sharing the information from a position of your own experience.
We strongly suggest that you begin your journey with The Master Key System before reading any of the other books that we have provided. Please make the effort to learn the concepts and perhaps you will begin to understand why you are where you are at this moment in your reality - and how to change your life, humanity and the future of the planet for the better.
In Summary...
Dominant thoughts manifest into reality. Choose your thoughts wisely.
While most of us are aware of the underlying nature of the events surrounding us at this time, it is now more important than ever to focus in earnest Intention upon that which we desire within the New Paradigm and disregard that which we do not want. For most, a state of Peaceful Coexistence is, and should be, the foundation for their vision of the New Paradigm.
Most of us have seen the picture of praying hands captioned with, "Pray for Peace." While it is essential that we first come to the understanding that it is far more beneficial to choose peace and joyful cooperation over competition and aggression, simply praying, that is pleading for it, is not enough. We must Desire it so much that we can, and do, Visualize it in our life and in the world around us. And we must Desire it so much that it becomes our deepest Intention to enjoy it in our personal lives. And we must Desire it with so much fervor that we come to Expect to receive and enjoy it. Only then will we be able to Allow it into our lives and to finally Live it in Joy! At that point it will have manifested into our reality - both personally and globally.
Don't just pray for change - initiate it into your own life first. You can become a seed of Peace and begin the Peace process by declaring, nurturing, teaching, and protecting Peace with just one other person around you. Then with another, and another. In this manner, each and every one of us becomes a Peacemaker - an Emissary of Peace. It's no longer a process that we can entrust to politicians or corporate governments as they have failed miserably from the beginning of time. We, the human beings on this Earth, as the mothers and fathers, children and school teachers, factory workers and farmers, and all others, must take back our voice and we must all become the leaders in this process. We must create that Peace. There can be no other way.
In short, Desire and Intend it with all your heart and being. Then Trust that Divine Intelligence WILL respond. That is the formula for effective prayer.

Mission Statement
The Arcadian Society is a private, global, benevolent society of visionary people, each an Emissary of Peace. Our mission is to facilitate the personal search for greater meaning within Life and provide an environment for advancement toward peaceful positive change. We believe that the original inspiration and understanding imparted into the mind of humanity of the need to care for and tend this beautiful and wondrous garden, our Mother Earth, is also today our Individual and Collective Responsibility and Duty.
We are dedicated to the recognition, celebration and protection of the natural rights of all of humanity as autonomous units of free will, sovereignty, self-responsibility, and self-governance within the State of Humanity. We believe that the intention and wish of the Creative Order is for humanity to live Life freely, cooperatively, abundantly and joyously. We teach that we should all actively create love, joy, peace and prosperity, while coming to a greater understanding of our Divine nature both within and beyond this third-dimensional human experience. We must learn, once again, to respect, honor, and celebrate the diversity within the Oneness of all humanity.
We believe that we human beings are to be stewards of the resources of this Earth and that any controversy among self-serving corporate governments over who owns what portion of it by scratching lines in the dirt, then assuming aggressive or defensive postures, is as foolish and repugnant to the logical thinking mind as the idea of mere parasites debating the ownership of the host upon which they feed.
We understand that we are of this planet - our Mother Earth, and if anything, we belong to her. She is not ours to exploit, pillage, rape and plunder, but ours to love, honor, cherish, cultivate, conserve, and share. We must learn to walk in reverence upon this Earth. To once again wake up, recognize, appreciate, and be overwhelmed by the indescribable beauty, balance, wonder, and the absolute perfection of all Life upon this planet that we call home.
We teach that we should strive to be a Light unto the world by becoming a Living Example of the effect of those Natural and Universal Laws which will lead humankind to the freedom of body and mind, as well as prosperity and happiness that is the divine sovereign birthright of all humanity.
The intent of our message is to bring enlightenment to empower humankind to break free from the enslaving victim mentality of the present system of fear and greed that keeps our awareness ensnared in ignorance and frustration and to encourage participation in the creation of a New Paradigm in accord with the Laws of the Universe.
As the Sage advises, we must humbly teach humanity to fish, not only through our words, but by our example. Not just for the sake of the hunger in their bellies, but more so for the greater hunger for the Truth of their Identity and Purpose that gnaws within their minds and souls.
To this end, we, the members of The Arcadian Society, dedicate the remainder of our days upon our Earth.
Thank you for answering the call!

Again, we suggest that you complete The Master Key System before reading the other selections listed below.
THE AWAKENING HAS BEGUN!
If you choose to read the Handbook and its sequels, it is important to understand that the warning of what might be if humanity did not wake up and smell the coffee was written many years ago. We are pleased to announce that the AWAKENING HAS BEGUN! The tide is turning as daily more people are becoming aware of their true nature and of their awesome dynamic potential as co-creators of reality.
So, again, if you choose to read the Handbook please read it with the assurance that all that we are Intending is NOW manifesting and the bright future of our Earth, and humanity upon it, IS assured. In the beginning the change is a gradual process, to be sure. But with more of us awakening to the call, the pace of change will be quickened as others, too, begin to focus upon that which can be, instead of that which they now see.
For those who wish to continue reading here and now we offer...

Introduction
Nature compels us all to move through life. We could not remain stationary however much we wished. Every right-thinking person wants not merely to move through life like a sound-producing, perambulating plant, but to develop - to improve - and to continue the development mentally to the close of physical life.
This development can occur only through the improvement of the quality of individual thought and the ideals, actions and conditions that arise as a consequence. Hence a study of the creative processes of thought and how to apply them is of supreme importance to each one of us. This knowledge is the means whereby the evolution of human life on earth may be hastened and uplifted in the process.
Humanity ardently seeks "The Truth" and explores every avenue to it. In this process it has produced a special literature, which ranges the whole gamut of thought from the trivial to the sublime - up from Divination, through all the Philosophies, to the final lofty Truth of "The Master Key".
The "Master Key" is here given to the world as a means of tapping the great Cosmic Intelligence and attracting from it that which corresponds to the ambitions, and aspirations of each reader.
Every thing and institution we see around us, created by human agency, had first to exist as a thought in some human mind. Thought therefore is constructive. Human thought is the spiritual power of the cosmos operating through its creature man. "The Master Key" instructs the reader how to use that power, and use it both constructively and creatively. The things and conditions we desire to become realities we must first create in thought. "The Master Key" explains and guides the process.
"The Master Key" teaching has hitherto been published in the form of a Correspondence Course of 24 lessons, delivered to students one per week for 24 weeks. The reader, who now receives the whole 24 lesson at one times, is warned not to attempt to read the book like a novel, but to treat it as a course of study and conscientiously to imbibe the meaning of each lesson - reading and re-reading one part only per week before proceeding to the next. Otherwise the later parts will tend to be misunderstood and the reader's time and money will be wasted.
Used as thus instructed "The Master Key" will make of the reader a greater, better personality, and equipped with a new power to achieve any worthy personal purpose and a new ability to enjoy life's beauty and wonder.

FORWARD
Some men seem to attract success, power, wealth, attainment, with very little conscious effort; others conquer with great difficulty; still others fail altogether to reach their ambitions, desires and ideals. Why is this so? Why should some men realize their ambitions easily, others with difficulty, and still others not at all? The cause cannot be physical, else the most perfect men, physically, would be the most successful. The difference, therefore, must be mental - must be in the mind; hence mind must be the creative force, must constitute the sole difference between men. It is mind, therefore, which overcomes environment and every other obstacle in the path of men.
When the creative power of thought is fully understood, its effect will be seen to be marvelous. But such results cannot be secured without proper application, diligence, and concentration. The student will find that the laws governing in the mental and spiritual world are as fixed and infallible as in the material world. To secure the desired results, then, it is necessary to know the law and to comply with it. A proper compliance with the law will be found to produce the desired result with invariable exactitude. The student who learns that power comes from within, that he is weak only because he has depended on help from outside, and who unhesitatingly throws himself on his own thought, instantly rights himself, stands erect, assumes a dominant attitude, and works miracles.
It is evident, therefore, that he who fails to fully investigate and take advantage of the wonderful progress which is being made in this last and greatest science, will soon be as far behind as the man who would refuse to acknowledge and accept the benefits which have accrued to mankind through an understanding of the laws of electricity.
Of course, mind creates negative conditions just as readily as favorable conditions, and when we consciously or unconsciously visualize every kind of lack, limitation and discord, we create these conditions; this is what many are unconsciously doing all the time.
This law as well as every other law is no respecter of persons, but is in constant operation and is relentlessly bringing to each individual exactly what he has created; in other words, "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap."
Abundance, therefore, depends upon a recognition of the laws of Abundance, and the fact that Mind is not only the creator, but the only creator of all there is. Certainly nothing can be created, before we know that it can be created and then make the proper effort. There is no more Electricity in the world today than there was fifty years ago, but until someone recognized the law by which it could be made of service, we received no benefit; now that the law is understood, practically the whole world is lit by it. So with the law of Abundance; it is only those who recognize the law and place themselves in harmony with it, who share in its benefits.
The scientific spirit now dominates every field of effort, relations of cause and effect are no longer ignored.
The discovery of a region of law marked an epoch in human progress. It eliminated the element of uncertainty and caprice in men's lives, and substituted law, reason and certitude.
Men now understand that for every result there is an adequate and definite cause, so that when a given result is desired, they seek the condition by which alone this result may be attained.
The basis upon which all law rests was discovered by inductive reasoning which consists of comparing a number of separate instances with one another until the common factor which gives rise to them all is seen.
It is this method of study to which the civilized nations owe the greater part of their prosperity and the more valuable part of their knowledge; it has lengthened life, it has mitigated pain, it has spanned rivers, it has brightened the night with the splendor of day, extended the range of vision, accelerated motion, annihilated distance, facilitated intercourse, and enabled men to descend into the sea, and into the air. What wonder then that men soon endeavored to extend the blessings of this system of study to their method of thinking, so that when it became plainly evident that certain results followed a particular method of thinking it only remained to classify these results.
This method is scientific, and it is the only method by which we shall be permitted retain that degree of liberty and freedom which we have been accustomed to look upon as an inalienable right, because a people is safe at home and in the world only if national preparedness mean such things as growing surplus of health, accumulated efficiency in public and private business of whatever sort, continuous advance in the science and art of acting together, and the increasingly dominant endeavor to make all of these and all other aspects of national development center and revolve about ascending life, single and collective, for which science, art and ethics furnish guidance and controlling motives.
The Master Key is based on absolute scientific truth and will unfold the possibilities that lie dormant in the individual, and teach how they may be brought into powerful action, to increase the person's effective capacity, bringing added energy, discernment, vigor and mental elasticity. The student who gains an understanding of the mental laws which are unfolded will come into the possession of an ability to secure results hitherto undreamed of, and which has rewards hardly to be expressed in words.
It explains the correct use of both the receptive and active elements of the mental nature, and instructs the student in the recognition of opportunity; it strengthens the will and reasoning powers, and teaches the cultivation and best uses of imagination, desire, the emotions and the intuitional faculty. It gives initiative, tenacity of purpose, wisdom of choice, intelligent sympathy and a thorough enjoyment of life on its higher planes.
The Master Key teaches the use of Mind Power, true Mind Power, not any of the substitutes and perversions; it has nothing to do with Hypnotism, Magic or any of the more or less fascinating deceptions by which many are led to think that something can be had for nothing.
The Master Key cultivates and develops the understanding which will enable you to control the body and thereby the health. It improves and strengthens the Memory. It develops Insight, the kind of Insight which is so rare, the kind which is the distinguishing characteristic of every successful business man, the kind which enables men to see the possibilities as well as the difficulties in every situation, the kind which enables men to discern opportunity close at hand, for thousands fail to see opportunities almost within their grasp while they are industriously working with situations which under no possibility can be made to realize any substantial return.
The Master Key develops Mental Power which means that others instinctively recognize that you are a person of force, of character - that they want to do what you want them to do; it means that you attract men and things to you; that you are what some people call "lucky", that "things" come you way' that you have come into an understanding of the fundamental laws of Nature, and have put yourself in harmony with them; that you are in tune with Infinite; that you understand the law of attraction, the Natural laws of growth, and the Psychological laws on which all advantages in the social and business world rest.
Mental Power is creative power, it gives you the ability to create for yourself; it does not mean the ability to take something away from someone else. Nature never does things that way. Nature makes two blades for grass grow where one grew before, and Mind Power enables men to do the same thing.
The Master Key develops insight and sagacity, increased independence, the ability and disposition to be helpful. It destroys distrust, depression, fear, melancholia, and every form of lack limitation and weakness, including pain and disease; it awakens buried talents, supplies initiative, force, energy, vitality - it awakens an appreciation of the beautiful in Art, Literature and Science.
It has changed the lives of thousands of men and women, by substituting definite principles for uncertain and hazy methods - and principles for the foundation upon which every system of efficiency must rest.
Elbert Gary, the chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, said "The services of advisors, instructors, efficiency experts in successful management are indispensable to most business enterprises of magnitude, but I deem the recognition and adoption of right principles vastly more importance."
The Master Key teaches right principles, and suggests methods for making a practical application of the principles; in that it differs from every other course of study. It teaches that the only possible value which can attach to any principle is in its application. Many read books, take home study courses, attend lectures all their lives without ever making any progress in demonstrating the value of the principles involved. The Master Key suggests methods by which the value of the principles taught may be demonstrated and put in actual practice in the daily experience.
There is a change in the thought of the world. This change is silently transpiring in our midst, and is more important than any which the world has undergone since the downfall of Paganism.
The present revolution in the opinions of all classes of men, the highest and most cultured of men as well as those of the laboring class, stands unparalleled in the history of the world. Science has of late made such vast discoveries, has revealed such an infinity of resources, has unveiled such enormous possibilities and such unsuspected forces, that scientific men more and more hesitate to affirm certain theories as established and indubitable or to deny certain other theories as absurd or impossible, and so a new civilization is being born; customs, creeds, and cruelty are passing; vision, faith and service are taking their place. The fetters of tradition are being melted off from humanity, and as the dross of materialism is being consumed, thought is being liberated and truth is rising full orbed before an astonished multitude.
The whole world is on the eve of a new consciousness, a new power and a new consciousness, a new power and a new realization of the resources within the self. The last century saw the most magnificent material progress in history. The present century will produce the greatest progress in mental and spiritual power.
Physical Science has resolved matter into molecules, molecules into atoms, atoms into energy, and it has remained for Sir Ambrose Fleming, in an address before the Royal Institution, to resolve this energy into mind. He says: "In its ultimate essence, energy may be incomprehensible by us except as an exhibition of the direct operation of that which we call Mind or Will."
Let us see what are the most powerful forces in Nature. In the mineral world everything is solid and fixed. In the animal and vegetable kingdom it is in a state of flux, forever changing, always being created and recreated. In the atmosphere we find heat, light and energy. Each realm becomes finer and more spiritual as we pass from the visible to the invisible, from the coarse to the fine, from the low potentiality to high potentiality. When we reach the invisible we find energy in its purest and most volatile state.
And as the most powerful forces of Nature are the invisible forces, so we find that the most powerful forces of man are his invisible forces, his spiritual force, and the only way in which the spiritual force can manifest is through the process of thinking. Thinking is the only activity which the spirit possesses, and thought is the only product of thinking.
Addition and subtraction are therefore spiritual transactions; reasoning is a spiritual process; ideas are spiritual conceptions; questions are spiritual searchlights and logic, argument and philosophy is spiritual machinery.
Every thought brings into action certain physical tissue, parts of the brain, nerve or muscle. This produces an actual physical change in the construction of the tissue. Therefore it is only necessary to have a certain number of thoughts on a given subject in order to bring about a complete change in the physical organization of a man.
This is the process by which failure is changed to success. Thoughts of courage, power, inspiration, harmony, are substituted for thoughts of failure, despair, lack, limitation and discord, and as these thoughts take root, the physical tissue is changed and the individual sees life in a new light, old things have actually passed away, all things have become new, he is born again, this time born of the spirit, life has a new meaning for him, he is reconstructed and is filled with joy, confidence, hope, energy. He sees opportunities for success to which he was heretofore blind. He recognizes possibilities which before had no meaning for him. The thoughts of success with which he has been impregnated are radiated to those around him, and they in turn help him onward and upward; he attract to him new and successful associates, and this in turn changes his environment; so that by this simple exercise of thought, a man changes not only himself, but his environment, circumstances and conditions.
You will see, you must see, that we are at the dawn of a new day; that the possibilities are so wonderful, so fascinating, so limitless as to be almost bewildering. A century ago any man with a Gatling Gun could have annihilated a whole army equipped with the implements of warfare then in use. So it is at present. Any man with a knowledge of the possibilities contained in the Master Key has an inconceivable advantage over the multitude.
