The Gathering

We have gathered here today to say goodbye to the dearly departed. He or she was dear and they have now departed. In other words, goodbye to the (kindness please), Richard Pryor!

How many things that we say, do, act like or have become that wasn’t really ourselves? In the past 16 weeks I have been in a state of captivity interrogated by principles, actions, thoughts even deeds that were of my doing.

But in an unconscious state of acting up, out and fully participating while being an observer.

There was no protest on my part because I thought I belonged and was not a person detained against my will. I went along with the plan for my life in full cooperation with all decisions, choices, changes and challenges that were being carried out with my high approval.

Sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie but it wasn’t a reel, it was real life and it was mine.

Then there are these people (Master Key Experience class), (MKE), from a different place in life and they say they were once like me, gullible, easily entertained and entreated to enjoy nothing and call it something, laughing but nothing was funny.

Going along to get along. In my past, people never liked or cared for me but I wanted to belong to something, anything, anyone, anybody and this segment was called “living life”.

They (MKE), came bearing gifts of clear thought, purpose of existence, caring for the life and well-being of others, love and they said everything needed is already inside you.

That was different because everything that I had known to date was always external, never internal. By definition of that alone, they were a fresh wind blowing through my mind.

Quickly I realized I wasn’t alone. Many people were traveling the same road on a journey to change their lives and embark upon a new experience in this evolution of change for their best now!

When you are so used to seeking yourself for everything because people somehow reinvent ways to fail you, lie to you, cheat you, treat you other than you deserve you learn to trust only God and yourself.

Never believing there are honest consistently loving individuals in this world.

This is real life, not reel life, a pulp fiction of an existence that we hope and pray for, never really believing it is possible to ever happen to me. These steps to mental change are designed to be one bite a week. Marinate and chew slowly.

Chewing the cud is accepted in this experience because everything overlays the previous thing and the continuation becomes the building blocks that connect and make the “main thing the main thing”.

The gathering fosters a secure space where hurt, bitter, afraid, lost, hateful, hated, dysfunctional, and whatever adjective describes you, come together. Put lonely people together in one space and give them the courage and inspire them to tell it all.

Emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically deprived people, not caring what people think or might say, stop them from holding pain in and gives them freedom to express and appreciate their new found freedom of expression.

The bars of life and self imprisonment are opened and the chains fall to the ground. So does a prideful attitude.

The jailer now releases our souls and he himself is no longer bound and we are all freed from our thought, mindset, and habits. A new dawning has now come and the sunrise of this new life is frightfully accepted and life really starts to take ground and weightlessness feels good.

Change brings about setback, dilemma, doubt, anger and double mindedness. Although the road ahead only requires me to get involved and be part of this beautiful life-changing experience until I accept within myself I am worth it, no matter the cost because I paid a much higher price in my ignorance not knowing to embrace, love and get to know and understand

MY DEEPEST FEAR: NOT THAT I WAS INADEQUATE, BUT THAT I WAS POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE. I AM BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS, TALENTED, FABULOUS AND I DARE NOT BE WHO I AM!

SO, I HAVE GATHERED WITH LIKE MINDED INDIVIDUALS CHOOSING TO SOAR LIKE EAGLES AND TURN OUR NOSTRILS UPWARD, NOT IN PRIDE, BUT PROUD TO SAY WE ARE BORN AGAIN INTO A NEWNESS OF THIS LIFESTYLE FOREVER CHANGED.

TO MR. MARK, MS. DAVENE, MS. LORI, MS. DAY, MR. DREW. MR. BRAD AND THE WORLD WIDE “MKE FAMILY,” PEACE BE THE JOURNEY. “KINDNESS TO YOU ALL FAMILY”. MUCH LOVE!
