Although it seems a paradox, every day I realize that – while I am on my MKMMA journey; i am, at the same time, observing myself on this journey. My old blueprint self is constantly interacting (and not always pleasantly) with my new blueprint self. The present “me” is getting to know the future “me”. I see personal successes and positives while simultaneously sensing lingering struggles and negatives. It’s a roller coaster, yin/yang, gleeful, rueful, uplifting, and discouraging all rolled into one. And it’s AMAZING!
How can this be? Natural law. In Scroll IV of “The Greatest Salesman in the World”, we read: “Although I am of the animal kingdom, animal rewards alone will not satisfy me. Within me burns a flame which has been passed from generations uncounted and its heat is a constant irritation to my spirit to become better than I am, and I will.” The journey …
In Part Fifteen of the Master Keys this week, here’s what captured my attention and focus:
3. “Difficulties, inharmonies, and obstacles, indicate that we are either refusing to give out what we no longer need, or refusing to accept what we require.” (What do I need to accept?)
5. “We cannot obtain what we lack if we tenaciously cling to what we have.” (What am I holding onto that I no longer need?)
7. “Difficulties and obstacles will continue to come until we absorb their wisdom and gather from them the essentials of further growth.” (Sometimes it feels like I’m clueless to absorb – or even recognize – the wisdom!) … note to self … “Law of Relaxation”: “Mental Effort defeats itself … Relaxation of Thought is the only access to Infinite Intelligence” Breathe
31. “Insight is a faculty of the mind whereby we are enabled to examine facts and conditions at long range, a kind of human telescope; it enables us to understand the difficulties, as well as the possibilities, in any undertaking.”
34. “Insight is therefore absolutely essential …”
35. “Insight is a product of the world within, and is developed in the Silence … ”
Silence, this week, continues to be a powerful teacher. Relaxing into it, I’m allowing myself to begin to absorb the wisdom. Finding the balance …
Thanks for visiting. More next week. I promise.
You are doing wonderful, we all experience from time to time that roller coaster. That’s part of the growth of the new you. Thank you for sharing and reminding me at some points.
I too, am struggling with my old blueprint.
My method of fighting is that anytime I recognize( Important..recognize) that my old blueprint is stepping in..BOOM!
I say” I am whole perfect strong…” This is my mantra for overcoming everything.
I’m glad there will be more next week. I enjoyed this weeks and am looking forward to your additional growth. Thanks for your sharing. You are one of my teachers.
Thanks, Deb, for sharing Your thoughts and feelings. I have to remind myself often to stop and acknowledge how far I´ve already travelled towards my future self and focus on accepting that the habits of all these previous years take time to replace.
It´s wonderful how things are getting easier from day to day and to see the development in people like You is a bliss!
Mahalo, I appreciate You!
