It’s Week 3 of the 2024-25 Master Key Experience course. Familiar, destructive patterns have started to emerge for me, and once again I feel like I am staring down into the abyss with a real decision to make.
It has been an incredibly difficult couple of weeks on a personal level, or perhaps that just the old excuses emerging, and I have completely underestimated the sheer depth of the cement.
This week we continued our thrice-daily reading of Scroll One from Og Mandino’s The Greatest Salesman in the World with an interesting twist – the omission of the word “will”. It was quite an adjustment but an important link with the way in which we write our DMPs (as though they have already been accomplished).
My DMP came back with the need for revision (which I welcome). Last week I talked about how the PPNs I had picked were not sitting well with me. Autonomy was not reflected well in the DMP and, in truth, I had no idea how to make it so.
This week I made the decision to change Autonomy to Liberty. I think I shied away from it initially because Liberty does not seem like a comfortable bedfellow of Spiritual Growth. Maybe it’s my pedantic nature – I’m not sure.
Lesson 3 of The Master Key System continues with the science which I like. I have struggled to make time for the sit this week which has been counterproductive. Its emphasis on proper relaxation of the body has been much needed, but I have not prioritised it.
Week 4 will bring us all to a crossroads on this journey. Either history is going to repeat itself, or I have to dig really deep.
Dig deep Alan, I’m cheering you on and let’s crack that cement!!
You deserve it.
Alan, Kudos to you for continuing to slog through your DMP and PPNs. I seem to end up changing mine every week. Today I waited too long to do my sit and the mosquitos were coming after me. How can you sit still if you have to scratch the little bites? It was crazy.
Thank you, Michael
Some days I find it a struggle to get the reads in and I’m tempted to skip it to save time but then I realize I am just letting adding more cement back when I do that. Remember you are still a masterpiece in process.
