Tony Michalski's Master Key Coaching

Edwin Land and Steve Jobs: They visualized what they wanted.

If you’ve been listening to or partaking in the Master key Coaching Teleseminars, then know that we’ve been talking quite a bit about visualization — using your creative imagination to build powerful images of your goal. (If you don’t know this, then you should definitely listen to the episodes that are available and make plans to listen each and every Monday night at 8 pm EST!)

We also know that Nikola Tesla was a practitioner of visualization and stated that he wouldn’t make one move to build his idea until it was clear in his mind.

In an interview, John Sculley, the CEO of Apple from 1983 to 1993, described a meeting between Steve Jobs, the founder and current CEO of Apple, and Edwin Land, the co-founder of Polaroid. Here is what he said.

I remember when Steve and I went to meet Dr Land.

Dr. Land had been kicked out of Polaroid. He had his own lab on the Charles River in Cambridge. It was a fascinating afternoon because we were sitting in this big conference room with an empty table. Dr Land and Steve were both looking at the center of the table the whole time they were talking. Dr Land was saying: “I could see what the Polaroid camera should be. It was just as real to me as if it was sitting in front of me before I had ever built one.”

And Steve said: “Yeah, that’s exactly the way I saw the Macintosh.” He said if I asked someone who had only used a personal calculator what a Macintosh should be like they couldn’t have told me. There was no way to do consumer research on it so I had to go and create it and then show it to people and say now what do you think?

Both of them had this ability to not invent products, but discover products. Both of them said these products have always existed – it’s just that no one has ever seen them before. We were the ones who discovered them. The Polaroid camera always existed and the Macintosh always existed — it’s a matter of discovery. Steve had huge admiration for Dr. Land. He was fascinated by that trip.

Interesting, yes?

It’s somewhat familiar to the interview with Henry M. Flagler that Haanel quoted in Week Sixteen of The Master Key System.

8. The power to create depends entirely upon spiritual power. There are three steps: Idealization, visualization, and materialization. Every captain of industry depends upon this power exclusively. In an article in Everybody’s Magazine, Henry M. Flagler, the Standard Oil multimillionaire, admitted that the secret of his success was his power to see a thing in its completeness. The following conversation with the reporter shows his power of idealization, concentration, and visualization—all spiritual powers:

9. “Did you actually vision to yourself the whole thing? I mean, did you, or could you, really close your eyes and see the tracks? And the trains running? And hear the whistles blowing? Did you go as far as that?”

“Yes.”

“How clearly?”

“Very clearly.”

Even more interesting, is it not?

The Precepts and Doctrines of Men by Duane Radcliffe and Marcus Ross

I met Duane in May of 2009.

By “met,” I mean that he became a member of the Master Key Coaching Program. For the next year he worked exclusively with James Spooner.

During that time, he informed James that one of his goals was to have a book of his published. James brought that to my attention and I said that I would look into it.

As time passed, I realized that I could not publish Duane’s book, no matter how excellent I thought it was. (As an aside, I would like to mention that when a publisher decides not to publish a book, very often the quality of the book — how good it is — is not the main reason. Questions of time, the market, the publisher’s specialty, and many other factors come into play. I just thought you’d like to know.)

Does a little thing like that stop a person steeped in Charles F. Haanel‘s philosophy of success?

Of course not.

Duane has an excellent book. He knows that. He knows that because people familiar with books on his topic — such as me — perused it and told him so.

He also knows that he researched the subject for many, many years — eight years, to be exact.

He’s confident. He’s willing to dare. He’s able to make the shot.

Duane researched his options and found a way to publish his book.

It is now available for you.

Here is the press release for Duane’s book.

What if a bloodline of people have contributed to the modern-day corruption and wars on earth, and what if this bloodline can be traced back to biblical times? In their provocative new book, The Precepts and Doctrines of Men, Duane Radcliffe and Marcus Ross combine years of biblical study to present a thoroughly-researched argument that the evils of today can be attributed to a bloodline that began with Cain and Abel.

In their comprehensive, meticulously detailed examination of biblical texts, Radcliffe and Ross present a coherent interpretation of the Bible’s events and themes. Along with their analysis of the famous story about Cain and Abel and theory about the bloodline that still exists today, The Precepts and Doctrines of Men addresses myriad topics in nine easy-to-read chapters. The authors seek to answer questions including:

• Were Adam and Eve the first man and woman, or were there others before them?
• Were there other people on the ark besides Noah and his family?
• Did the word “Rapture” appear in Scripture, and if so, where?

“There are many traditions that are being taught by our churches today that need to be addressed only to the extent that the truth will set you free,” the authors write. “After reading this book, then you can make your own decisions on the truth that is being taught.”

What readers are saying about The Precepts and Doctrines of Men:

“This book is vital in recognizing the traditions of men that obscure the Word of God.”

“You have captured the teachings that are wanted and sought by millions of people.”

I am very proud of Duane. I wish him and his book the greatest of success.

Find The Precepts and Doctrines of Men on Amazon.com. You can also find it at the iUniverse bookstore.

Wherever you find it, just get it. Read it.

You’ll be glad that you did.
