Emmet Fox was a popular speaker and writer whose works include "The Sermon on the Mount" and this very small booklet, "The Golden Key". In it, Fox describes a method by which you visualize a 'golden key' as a mediator between you and what troubles you. This could be a person in your life, a condition in the world, or an inner conflict that is in need of resolution or healing. We all try so solve problems directly, at least at first. Use the Golden Key method to take your mind off the problem, and think about God (or your Higher Power, Infinite Wisdom, etc.) instead. This will keep your mind on thoughts of healing, harmony, peace, serenity and solution - which is the goal you seek and the opposite of focusing solely on what it wrong. Better thoughts and attitudes lead toward better solutions and reconciliation. So, when you are faced with a difficult situation or person, give them "The Golden Key" treatment.
