Beginning- Week 24

Sometimes we have experiences that we say are life changing and in that moment maybe they are. Usually things tend to go back to ‘normal.’

Having participated in this Master Key Mastermind Alliance has been life changing in the way that my life has been altered/changed forevermore and I know will not be returning to the old status quo. Not that the past was bad, more like something was missing.

I have now learned the tools that are truly necessary for change at levels I did not have access to before. I was aware of the some of the tools and had used them, but never with such focus and commitment. Adding in other exercises/methods to do daily, wow! It is thrilling to say “they really work!!”

I am not the same person I was 6 months ago. I have changed my personal blueprint (it is still being refined, I’m pretty sure that is an unending process- thank goodness 😊). I am excited about my business again, my relationships are more authentic- more heartfelt- nothing in the way, my Sit/meditations are more connected to my Source- I can feel our connection. Everything is easier.

I am excited about the present and excited about the future. I am excited that we, as a collective group, are changing the world. Our planet needs us. Our families need us. Our friends need us. They don’t need ‘us’ – they need what we are learning, so through our example, we can inspire/encourage others to their own personal greatness.

I’m so grateful. I appreciate Mark and Davene and everyone who helped put this all together. I appreciate my co-journeyers on this path. Let’s keep going and change the world or, change our worlds which will in turn, change the world.

Love to all

Life- Week 23

This Mastermind experience has been everything I have wanted and more. After years of feeling lost and abandoned, I feel like myself again. I realize that I have everything I need inside of me and I am right on track. There is nothing wrong.

My DMP (Definite Major Purpose) is taking shape. Things are happening in my personal life and in my business that encompass all that I have dreamed of. My clarity on what is true for me is obvious. My relationships are easier. My conversations in business are easier. Everything is easier. I know that as time unfolds this will turn into more than I have dreamed of and will be glorious, all with ease.

I am having experiences that have no explanation. Miracles, which are in truth the natural order of things, are happening daily. Some are big, some are small, all are noticed. Since my experience with Silence there is a peace that prevails. There is a knowing that I am in touch with my Self.

When I read these words over, I think wow! This is my life! And it just keeps getting better.

I may add to this but that is all for now

 

Silence- Week 22

I was preparing everything for my 3 days of Silence. I bought candles and flowers to make my environment welcoming to whatever was going to happen. I wanted to be in an area where love could be felt without anything else to clutter it up.

When I got ready to start I turned off my phone and computer and put them in the closet. At that point I realized I did not have a clock. I wasn’t going to know what time it was unless I purposely looked when I would come out of my space to get something to eat.

Well this is interesting already! Pretty quick I adapted to this new fact and realized that part of my experience would be listening to my own inner clock. Time was not going to matter.

I settled in and began. One of the things I appreciated in this experience was doing this at home. Where better to meet your Self! Experiencing oneness and life in such a personal place I felt was a gift. The stillness was immediate, as if my inner being had been waiting for me to finally do this. I could feel my soul/life force/God in my solar plexus area. It was a quiet roar.

The Sits lasted 2-3 hours each time for me. Then I would take a break and either eat, shower, read, do some yoga, or watch the fire in the fireplace. Each thing I did, I only did that. Being mindful of what I was doing at the time and nothing else. Then I would come back to the Sit. This pattern continued through the night as well.

What happened for me during those three days and nights was that I realized the simple, peaceful power of – what I am calling God. I saw how far away from that I am most of the time. It’s so quiet it can be drowned out by the busyness of doing so many ‘important’ things during the day. I could see that if I stayed more in tune with my inner being how much easier life would be.

When I would feel this Presence, I would start to imagine my one sentence DMP. I thought that this may be co-creating with the Universe. I didn’t do that every time because sometimes I just wanted to feel this Presence that breathes me, lives me.

I found a couple books that I had forgotten about and of course when I opened them, the words were exactly what I needed to hear. Confirmation that I am exactly where I am meant to be and I am on the right track. All is perfect.

I am so grateful for this experience and I don’t think I would have done this on my own. It would have felt selfish. As an assignment, no problem! Thank you to Mark and Davene.

I know I will do this again and look forward to the next experience. In the meantime I am at peace and know all is well. I have that underlying calmness with intensity. I am ready for what is coming and appreciate fully what is here. I have love for everyone.

More- Week 21

Week 21- More

I love this! In week 20 I felt a shift in my being. A shift in how I am being a channel for this Life, this consciousness that is all pervading. This consciousness that to some is called God.

In Week 21 I feel this even more. I feel alive. I feel connected. I feel. When I am in my Sit the energy/life force that is in me and everything else is strong (unless I notice it too much and pull energy away from it, then it tends to go away). More than once I am brought to tears.

I am so thankful to be on this path of self-discovery/ self-awareness/ Self. I seriously have been studying my whole life to get here. And here I am. It feels natural and at the same time overwhelming and yet not overwhelming at all.

To be in touch with true life, true Life- I have no words. Nothing can explain the feelings I am having and the experience of this I am going though.

And on the practical side, my relationships with everyone are so much more connected. Not in a weird new age-y ‘oooh I love you’ way, in a real authentic way. My business is growing. People are calling me to get started. I am accomplishing more in less time. My DMP is getting closer.

I am in the last half of my life and I feel like I am just getting started. I am so excited to what is in store for me and how I can teach/show others how they can get in touch with their Life.  Blessings to Everyone.

Vitality- Week 20

The journey continues! This past week, Week 20 Master Keys, I have actually felt different. I mean physically different. I have more energy. I can feel my being is radiating differently. I have vitality.

I am excited about these changes because they are coming forth as a result of my work in doing the daily services, tasks. They are really changing the way that I feel! It’s happening on its own. I want to say I’m not doing anything, but I am. I’m doing my daily work. It’s not always perfect, meaning I don’t always get every part of the homework completed, but it is perfect because I am changing.

This is completely expected yet very unexpected. I know the next part of this, or one of the next parts, is that my business will change too. Jim Rohn would always say, “for things to change, you have to change.” I heard that and would do my best to think differently and take different actions, things would change but not stick.

With the Master Key system I am really changing. I am feeling the changes physically (which didn’t happen before with such distinct feeling and clarity as now) and I know I have changed. Really changed. I am different than I was a few months ago. Now that I have ‘changed’ I know my attraction vibration is different too.

Because of this transformation (so this is what transformation is!!) I have full knowing that my circumstances will be changing too. They have to. That’s the way it works because when I change, my circumstances will change. Hallelujah!!

Wow. This all makes me want to work harder and do better. By experiencing the difference, it has become real. The rest will follow. I know this is true.

Assimilation- Week 19

Section 1 in Part 19 begins: The search for truth is no longer a haphazard adventure, but it is a systematic process, and is logical in its operation. Section 2:  In seeking the truth we are seeking ultimate cause.

What began for me as an opportunity to Mastermind in a real way has become a true journey of transformation. Searching for Truth has been a quest I have been on most of my life, as I am pretty sure it has been for others in this alliance.

As I go into this deeper, rather than becoming more complex, the simplicity of Truth is beginning to appear. I am finding that in my SITs I am becoming more aware of the life force inside of me. I feel a palpable oneness with the operative principle that is Mind. I look forward to that part of my morning each day. I have been wanting to stay with it longer and feel it.

I think about what it would be like to ongoingly be aware of that Presence and co-create with this Universal Mind consciously, purposefully. That is how we are wired. That is how we are made.

At the same time, I don’t want to sound too serious about it all. Life is exciting, fun, filled with love, joy, abundance- a dynamic flow of giving and receiving! What a playground we live in where we get to experience whatever it is we want to experience! God/the Universe must really love us to give us all of these beautiful gifts to partake in during our life experience and at the same time give us the power to choose what we want and co-create it! Amazing!

Again I say thank you to All that is.

Discovery- Week 18

All I can say is wow! For some reason whenever the assignment was shared about us giving ourselves permission to be happy, my mind would go somewhere else. I heard it but as soon as the webinar was over, it completely left my thoughts.

A friend who is also in the course asked me about our new homework regarding giving ourselves permission to be happy. I would recall the assignment and again, as soon as our conversation ended, it was out of my mind.

When the survey came out and asked the question about our experiences and what had changed when we gave our self permission to be happy, I realized again, I had not done this homework. I was one of the 10% who didn’t complete that. Geez.

Something clicked for me on Week 18’s webinar though. I heard the conversation about happiness and I remembered it once the class had ended! After the class that day, I got still and gave myself permission to be happy! Oh my gosh!! Everything changed in that moment. I felt truly happy. I felt giddy! How could this happen so fast?! But it did. And it lasted.

My world changed. I felt so free. I was happy from the inside out. And still am!

I don’t know why I couldn’t hear it sooner but I am thrilled that I have heard it now. I am giving myself permission for all of it!!! I give myself permission to be loving, I give myself permission to be giving, I give myself permission to be successful, I give myself permission to be prosperous, I give myself permission to be creative, I give myself permission to be happy, I give myself permission to live an extraordinary life.

Gratitude galore!!

Another aha this week was when the Scroll changed. Living each day as if it is my last has given me such an appreciation for everything around me. Everything and everyone  really are gifts to be treasured. I can’t dwell on how I haven’t appreciated it all in the past, the past is over. I am starting each moment fresh and seeing through new eyes. The gloriousness of Life flows through me and everyone and everything. It is all around me, and I am making sure I remember this always.

The adventure continues!! Thank you God.

Pretending- Week 17HJ

What am I pretending not to know? That is a question I have not heard presented before and it hit home.

The instant I heard that question, my eyes started filling up. They weren’t happy tears. It felt like a sadness, like a hole in my heart. I didn’t dwell on it then because I wanted to stay and be present on the Mastermind call. I came back to it later and took some time to feel what reactions occurred when I sat with the question.

What am I pretending not to know? I have been spending time with this all week. What could be so deep that tears were my immediate reaction when I heard this the first time. What am I pretending not to know…? At first it felt like I was making up answers, forcing them so I could have something to say. Answers very much on the surface like- that I am not working as hard as I could, that I could be a more loving person, that I could be nicer. I knew those, or any like them, were not the answer because there was zero emotional connection to those replies.

I stayed with it. Most of the time I didn’t even have an answer. Was I making too much of this? Is it so simple as, that I could be more loving? I don’t know. That may be an answer, but I don’t think it is my answer at this time.

What am I pretending not to know…? I am pretending not to know who I am. That is the answer. That is sad. That is tragic. That is a waste of time. That is a person living a life of quiet desperation.

I know this is the answer because even as I write this, tears are coming to my eyes.

I can’t think of anything more heartbreaking than missing out knowing the amazing, authentic being who came here to fly and to flourish. What have I done, burying this beautiful soul who wants to express life’s greatest gifts under blocks of cement!!

I don’t want to pretend anymore. It’s too much work. I want to keep chipping away- no, I want to blast off- the cement. Enough is enough. I don’t want to hold my authentic self back one more moment!!  Life is calling.

 

Happiness- Week 17

My virtue for this week was happiness. I was looking forward to seeing more happiness around me, sharing it with others, and feeling it within myself. Little did I know how happy my week would be!

The first big happiness explosion came on Tuesday. My partner has been going through chemotherapy for the past 6 months and finished up a couple of weeks ago. When he got to the end of his treatments he had to have a ct scan to make sure all was well. A small, marble sized something showed up in his stomach area. We were so surprised. This was totally unexpected. At first our disappointment and fear kicked in and then we went right to taking it step by step. We didn’t even know what it was. A biopsy was scheduled and we went in for the procedure.

I was in the family room waiting for the surgery to be over. In a while the Dr. came out and over to me and said, “We didn’t do the biopsy.” What? Did I hear that right? A thousand things went through my mind all in the flash of a second. Then the Dr. smiled and said, “We didn’t do the biopsy because there was nothing there to biopsy on.” What!!!

Tears started coming out of my eyes. A miracle had occurred. The Dr. smiled so big. I’m guessing he doesn’t see that every day.

I had to sit with it all for a bit. Even though we had prayed, gave thanks for perfect health, visualized, it still had to sink in. Each time I would get present to what just happened, more tears. The happiness I felt was tremendous!! I was, and am, so very grateful.

The week continued and there were the sweet, everyday happiness’s that I was noticing more and paying attention to, and then Friday came. One of my favorite people in this world was going to be celebrating her 91^st birthday. She lives near Chicago and came to Texas for her celebration as some of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren live here. I was invited to all of it. I saw people I have not seen for 15-20 years. The love that was shared over the days of being together was present in everyone in every moment. Again, more tears. And oh so much love and happiness!!

This life journey we are all on is such a magnificent adventure and at the same time,  simple and beautiful.

I am thankful for all of it. By ignoring the symbols that the world tells us are important, and getting in touch with the truth of who we all are, the joy that is available is life giving and fulfilling- it is where I want to be. Always.

I bask in the happiness all around me, and I am ready for more!!  Much love to all.

Relax- Week 16

This past week I got to experience my growth in real life. I had a situation that was completely unexpected occur and at first, I was shocked, and then, I was calm.

I wasn’t quite sure what to make of it all. Was I in denial? Was I being Pollyanna? No. I think I was simply knowing my truth and knowing in fact, that all is well.

I noticed my calmness and peacefulness about the whole thing. I saw myself going on as usual and being grateful for the people I love and who love me, grateful for my home, my work, my life. I knew this state of being was an outcome of the work I have been doing in our Mastermind Alliance. Sometimes I would start to wonder if I ‘should’ be upset or if I ‘should’ be acting differently. Then I would remember what I believe and what I am working toward and I knew I was on the right track.

In Lesson 16, #8, Haanel says, “The power to create depends entirely upon spiritual power; there are three steps, idealization, visualization, and materialization.” The power to create depends ENTIRELY upon spiritual power. He doesn’t say a little bit, he doesn’t say somewhat, he says ENTIRELY!! This is so liberating! This is the answer. We know what to do. Idealize, visualize, and it will materialize. Through our idealizing and visualizing, action will be taken and the materialization has a place to occur.

In the introduction page to Lesson 16 Haanel says, “..through an understanding and conscious operation of spiritual laws, we can convert every seeming difficulty into a blessing.” Oh my gosh! Spiritual laws are Universal laws. When we align with our true self and realize our harmony, our part in the Universe, with the Universal laws- then we simply allow everything to work.

I know I have a ways to go but experiencing how far I have come has been..I was going to say satisfying but really, it hasn’t been anything. It feels more like a non-issue. It feels like I am on track and all is well. So I guess now it’s about me giving myself permission to relax and accept that all really is well in my world. Onward!!
