Bankrupt? The Universe? Impossible! Definition of BANKRUPT 1: unable to pay debts 2: — used to say that someone or something completely lacks a good or desired quality Debt, of course, means having more outflow than inflow. In other words, getting more than is given. If we get more value, i.e., spend more money, than the value we give, i.e., whatever it is that allows us to earn […]
Awareness – So Frightening, So Exciting! MKE 2x, Week 3
Raising Awareness is the Key When most people hear the words ‘Raise Awareness’, they automatically accept that the discussion is about a cause that someone is trying to get them to support – cancer prevention, sexual abuse, domestic violence, etc. Those are all good causes to support. But, IMHO, the most significant thing we should ‘raise awareness’ about is – OURSELVES! And the huge part […]
United Warriors! MKE 2x, Week 2
Warriors We Are Like soldiers fighting an oppressive force, we revel in comradery and trust. We know that our weaknesses trail in our wake and only our courage, strength, determination and fortitude bind us together and push us, united as one, forward. We are fighting our inner demons, our old habits, our wrongful thinking and we value – no, we depend on! – our fellow […]
Old Blueprint: Bye, Bye! MKE 2x, Week 1
Running from the Rain Usually, we run from the rain, diving inside a doorway, rushing to get into our car, or just staying inside wherever we are. We think that we value our clothes so much that we can’t afford to get them wet. We think the papers or books in our clutching fingers are so important that we can not dare to let the […]
Rebirth, Renewal, and Re-Invigoration!
Ready for Another Rebirth My previous life of mediocrity is over. It was over about a third of the way through last year’s MKE! It was by that time that I knew that I had allowed other people and circumstances to mold me. And I realized I had it in my power to remold myself into the person and the circumstances I wanted. Yeah, that […]
Week 24 – To Infinity ?And Beyond?
We are Finished!? It’s Graduation – finally! We’ve put in a grueling six months and we are PUMPED that we made it through – some with a 4.0, some with a 2.0 – but still those of us with the cap and gown can rightfully claim our titles as graduates. But it’s not over! That was just the hands-on training part; now we have to […]
Week 23 – Frankenstein’s Spirit
Haanel asks us this 23rd week of the MKMMA to “concentrate on the fact that man is not a body with a spirit, but a spirit with a body…” As we know now, our individual spirits are but tiny portions of the Universal Consciousness. I think of our essence as being like drops of water from an infinite ocean or maybe, like we saw recently in the […]
Week 22A – Mind Your Vibes, Please!
“Good, good, good, good vibrations!” ~Beach Boys That’s the first thing I thought about when Haanel started in on ‘vibrations’ in Lesson 22. (I guess it doesn’t hurt to mention that “She’s giving me excitations” also has something about ‘feelings’, but that’s as far as I want to take that song!) The second thing I thought of was “Vibrations? Wasn’t that what you just called […]
Week 22 – Open Your Parachute!
You have seen or heard the quote below. As with so many good ‘motivational’ quotes, snippets, and soundbites, we need to look deeply into what it means, to study it, and learn something from it. First of all, I don’t know what experience Frank Zappa had with a parachute, or even if he was the originator of the quote – but I like Frank, so […]
Week 21 – The Flow of Nothing
My eyes were wide open, I swear. I was sitting on a plastic chair outside the shop where my mechanic was trying to find the cause of an electrical problem in my car. With my dog in my lap, sun shining on my face, traffic going by behind me – I was watching a couple of boys goofing around beside several trucks on the other […]
