There are many rumors surrounding the this work including those of suppression by the church, Bill Gates reading it during his Harvard years and it subsequently influencing his well documented success, it's also been sold for ridiculous amounts as a learn to get rich system for years by hucksters and believers alike.
The Intent of the Community:
My own personal introduction was from a series of spam emails that flooded my email inbox that offered the Master Key System on Audio CD and a bonus when you sign up for some marketing system or something or other. I didn't sign up, I just Googled "Master Key System" and found a large number of sites still trying to profit from this work by selling it or including it as a free gift, one site was even selling it for $1495 - ironically on the same page of results I noticed the website for "The Secret" was among the results I clicked on it and downloaded a free copy and began to read the foreword and introduction quickly realizing that I would like an open forum to discuss and expand my interpretation of this text so I set to work creating this site.
Additional info on The Master Key System and our community forum and study website:
Charles F. Haanel's original presentation of The Master Key System was in the form of a 24-week, self study correspondence course by mail. The intent was to encourage the studying of each lesson before progressing onward to the next. It was never intended to be read in its entirety and then contemplated, rather contemplated and reread in small sections. This is how we will present it to the community. Each week we will post the next section, for the first 3 weeks the content and forum reading will be publicly available to all, beyond that free registration is required. Free registration will be required during the first 3 weeks to access the audio versions of the text. The audio will be available as a download in mp3 format that you can listen to on your computer or burn to CD and play in your home or car stereo.
Our goal is to through the use of modern technology provide a new experience with this teaching, one we haven't found elsewhere by adding a freely accessible group forum for discussion as we present this teaching as intended 1 week at a time for a period of 24 weeks. We will provide each lesson in HTML, PDF and Audio form including participation in the discussion forum at no cost to you.
Our intent is to encourage a global sharing of insights as we journey through this teaching of "The Master Key System" together.
