Last year, I completed the Master Key Experience. At the beginning, of the program, I was extremely excited. I started powerfully. I was consistent in doing the exercise. (ie. Reading Greatest Salesman in the World 3 Times, Masterkey System, reading of my Definite Main Purpose, etc.). Everything is was good.
Upon reflecting, the entire program, after a while, I started to drift. I started to drift by missing a reading here & there, forgetting to do the sit (ie. meditation) and other similar things. I notice that I told myself, “Oh, you can do it later.” “You can do the makeup tomorrow!”
Well, there is nothing wrong with what I was telling myself. “It is “all right” to miss a read.” “It is all right to do the makeup”. However, there was an impact on me which at that time I didn’t notice. What I notice is that I made myself WRONG!! When I made myself WRONG, I started to beat myself up to try to push myself. On doing that to myself, I missed more reading & the sit. By the way, I was wasting a lot of time in my pool of sorrow.
There is a saying which I learn from the Landmark Forum, is “What you resist persist.” So, when I made myself WRONG for not doing the exercise, it resulted in me being in a continuous loop of WRONG. Having me being in this continuous loop of WRONG, doesn’t serve me.
UUpon figuring out what I was doing to myself, I made the decision to let my “WRONG” go and continue on the journey again. People make mistakes. I made mistake. This is normal. I just have to make sure that I don’t make my mistake significant so I can move on.
On doing this program again, and know what I know from the last round, I declare that I will complete this program again completely, powerfully, and not stepping over anything. I’m thankful for what I got out of the 1st time. However, I believe the 2nd time around will be even better.
I would like to share a song that my friend Peter Ng wrote in my teen years from The Gideon Winter Retreat 1988. This sound depicts what I see & feel the Second Time Around of the Masterkey.
Second Time Around
by Words and Music by Peter Ng.
I remember the day when we first met
You brought a new joy to my hear
And after a while I pray that we
Would never drift apart.
But time came between us and life went on
I lost your face in the crowd
now we're together again and I try to pretend
Maybe I'm a little too proud.Oh, but inside I’m just so glad to be
With you again and I know that our
Friendship will never end.
(CHORUS)
'Cause it's so much better with you
The second time around
We've got a lot of reason to care
And memories to share
Don't ever wanna leave 'em behind
My life is fuller with you
The second time around
And we'll always be stronger together
The second time around
The days are brighter now that we’re here
It seems only like yesterday
That I discovered your warmth,
Your beauty and grace
And the wisdom of your way
And I realize that if trails come
You’ll guide me on which path to take
You’ll always be there for me whenver I call
I know that it’s never too late.
'Cause it's so much betteOh and inside I'm just so glad to beWith you again and I know that our Friendship will never end.
I have to thank you for the efforts you have put in penning this website. Im hoping to see the same high-grade content by you in the future as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has motivated me to get my own website now 😉
Can I just say what a relief to uncover an individual who really understands what theyre talking about on the web. You certainly know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people ought to read this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised that you arent more popular given that you most certainly have the gift.
