We have just finished our Master Key Experience (MKE) week 7 presentation, and it only gets better each week. As Mark and the team continue to assure us everything we are learning and implementing is a progression.

This week we will have completed the first half of Og Mandino’s The Greatest Salesman in the World Chapter 9 Scroll #2. Yes, it is one of the tools that we use in MKE but, without the support and exercises that Mark implements it would fall short of providing the necessary tools to allow each person through their own self-discovery to change within.

To discover what is preventing them from living the life God intended. Through this process in the MKE program we learn how we are not as conscious as we might think we are. The exercises start to have you re-examine your thoughts and how opinions block us from living the life God intended us to live.

This is not a quick fix program. It is not about affirmations. No, it is a series of exercises/assignments that build upon themselves, day by day and week by week. As we read again in chapter 7 of MKE “most of us are content to remain in absolute ignorance of the greatest piece of mechanism which has ever come into existence, the brain of man.”

What we have learned is that we do not use our brain to its potential and that we are operating in default without understanding the human brain as it relates to our day-to-day life and how we create our life circumstances whether it be conscious or unconscious.

Although 90% of our brain capacity is never used, but it darn well affects our life and our happiness.

We have talked already about the conscious and unconscious mind and how we run on autopilot 24/7 without being conscious of the programs we have sent to the unconscious mind and those we have inherited.

That has become more relevant as we progress each week. We have many scriptures in the bible or in any other religious discipline that tries to guide us.

The question is how many of us, teachers and scholars included really understand the universe, God, creation and how we are the master of our own destiny but haven’t been given the tools to really master our own destiny until now?

Let’s take a pause for a minute. As everyone knows the power of love……………… or do they truly understand?

I’ll go back to the title “The Power of Love” as we are reading about it daily 3x per day in Scroll #2. My understanding from some of my spiritual books that I’ve read over the years and my personal experience is there are only two emotions.

One being Fear and the other being Love, any other emotion is just a continuum of one of these two emotions.

So, it has been my experience so far, that I am being trigger less and less as I work my way through the course material and exercises. I realized this past week that I had a package delivered and it was stolen moments after it was delivered.

I was at home waiting for the package. I quickly realized things were going really well last week, and I was joyously working through the assignments. I realized I must still have some of that old program running or transmitting the old frequencies here and there to attract this situation.

So, as you move forward in the self discovery, take responsibility for your actions and your life circumstances, you can chip away at the old you and discover the real, divine you under all the unconscious negativity, self preservation that we have programed ourselves with.

I was not running any negative self talk at all. I stopped the mind chatter 30 years ago, but there had to be an energetic imprint that was still running, and the unconscious was still running the unconscious programs, attracting stress and discomfort. WoW a big moment.

Of self realization, and growth moment by moment, thought by thought. I have done a lot of work around trauma and triggers, but I knew deep down there was something still holding me back, from living me life the way God had intended.

I’ve been sharing my experiences with friends, especially people who live by biblical teachings and are open to understanding what is being taught. The information and tools we are learning in MKE reflect on all aspects of our lives.

Everything I was learning is supported by science and those that use advanced technologies to heal the body. Understanding we are energy and that our thoughts affect every aspect of our being including our physical well being.

Back then to MKE where we are being asked to learn about judgement for the insignificant judgements to major judgements, minor or harmless opinions to major opinions and the power of forgiveness. Why? Because this is what prevents us from living the life God intended for us. Living in mediocrity instead of the life we were always meant to live.

An example of what we are learning in MKE around the power of love and forgiveness. Some years ago, I was in a dangerous situation sitting in a fast-food restaurant. I saw two people and I made a quick judgement.

As soon as I did, my inner voice said, Julie “judge not least thee be judged”. Julie you are judging. I immediately began to cry; I was very emotional and went into prayer to ask for forgiveness. I left where I was and entered a church for assistance. I was in a strange city and there was a lot of corruption at the time.

The background story isn’t material other than this. The two people who I had asked God to forgive me came and found me and reached out to help me.

In that moment I learned two lessons.

1. Do not judge. (This is harder said then done, but from that day forward, I have consciously made an effort not to judge. I am not God, and it is not my place to judge. However, I have caught myself with little judgements or thoughts.

No judgement means no judgement. This is part of chipping away at the cement that covers the Golden Buddha or our divine self. It is the cement that prevents us from living our true divine life. I have asked in prayer for God to guide me and to have discernment, which I believe is self love.

2. That as soon as I asked for God’s forgiveness, he had the very people who I made a judgement come and bless me. In this case I was assisted in leaving where I was and getting to a safer city. It was a humble experience. These are examples of love and forgiveness.

Sometimes we must forgive very horrific circumstances in order to heal and let go. For me this has been a long process. You think you have let go of something and then you see remnants of the past and realize you haven’t let it all go yet.

I’ve worked to free myself from my past, I’ve done all kinds of spiritual work, including the Ho’oponopono which is the ancient Hawaiian method for transforming personal problems, resolving interpersonal conflicts, and healing the past through the power for forgiveness.

At the core of the Ho’oponopono are four magical sentences: I am sorry, Please forgive me, I love you, Thank you. I have done this work for close to 10 years, with improvements but obviously, there was more work to be done.

Everything I learned to date is this is a process and the transformation isn’t immediate, but extremely rewarding as you know within your being you are changing you, and your life is changing for the positive.

Now, we were also asked to read the Gal in the Glass. This is about being accountable and honest with yourself and it is also having you look yourself straight in the eye and say I Love You, Julie.

Again, coming from early childhood abuse, this was easier said then done, but with courage I followed the instructions. Why? Because the pain of staying the same was greater than the pain of change and uncertainty.

In my mind, I am determined to live out the second half of my life better than the first half of my life. This is about learn self love. Everyone talks about this and lots of self-help books and courses, course on trauma etc. but most only scratch the surface or cause more damage to the wounded parts of self.

Here each week is building on itself, having courage to look deep within, be honest with yourself, take responsibility for your life regardless of the childhood crap, let it go, how to let it go and create the life God always intended for you.

What does that all mean? Learning about your passion in life? Who you really are, not for others but for yourself. Looking at yourself in the mirror and enthusiastically saying I love you, to you.
Chapter 9 in Og’s book is about the Power of Love. “I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures.”

It has been my experience that fear destroys and love heals. Choosing love is a choice, a conscious choice. Choosing self-love is a process when most of your experience has been the opposite, including how we take care of ourselves.

Not necessarily from drugs or alcohol but working to hide the pain or not being aware when the body needs rest, water, food. Being totally detached from your needs and yet so sensitive you feel everything.

How is that so? I can say with certainty, yes, I have lived it, and I am now for the first time, learning how to recognize what I need on so many levels. I’ve denied self, for my own preservation, not knowing how to heal within.

Meditation and many other processes have helped me, but MKE is providing the missing pieces and exercises to make the needed changes, moment by moment, thought by thought, changing my habits to healthy habits like having more regular schedules and not dropping things for others at my own expense.

I encourage you to follow me next week, as we discover more about ourselves and the process to heal within. Learning self love, self acceptance and taking responsibility for our life, moment by moment, thought by thought. It is a choice we make.

To stay in the blame game, or take charge of our life, embrace the tools, the process and reach out when we are lost. This is a program of self discovery, guided but without any influence on you learning to love yourself.
