WEEK 11 Transformation

At this point in the MKMMA we are challenged to Take Possession of our dreams, to continue to let  go of the past; let the old blueprint die and embrace our DMP; our Dharma. By continuing in the exercises and affirmations we are starting to see results and creating a new reality. This is the result of continually building our new blueprint & natural law does the rest; Hannell says,” your life is governed by law – by actual, immutable principals that never vary. Law is in operation at all times; in all places. Fixed laws underlie all human actions.” As we are rebuilding the subconscious mind by systematically, steadily, creating new brain cells we are revealing to self, the true self. Thought once again plays an important part in our transformation. By doing the mental exercises day by day, committing to the hard yards; like D.J.Gregory with a Definite Major Purpose, a Positive Mental Attitude, a Plan Of Action and a Master Mind Alliance we are drawing out and revealing the beauty and strength within like the transformation of the butterfly. As we are faithful with the little things we do, the universe (God) rewards us. Hannel in 11:31 comments,” Thought reaches its loftiest activity when plunged into its own mysterious depth; when it breaks through the narrow compass of self and passes from truth to truth to the region of eternal light, where all which is, was or will be, melt into one grand harmony.”

“remember that while every effect is the result of a cause” – Thought – “the effect in turn becomes a cause, which creates other effects, which in turn create still other causes; so that when you put the law of attraction into operation you must remember that you are starting a train of causation for good or otherwise which may have endless possibilities.” Hannel

Is the butterfly one of God’s thoughts?

“Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.

Week 10 Abundance

Week 10 in the Master Keys Hannel commences with “Abundance.” He says,”Everywhere nature is lavish, wasteful, extravagant. Nowhere is economy observed in any created thing. Profusion is manafested in everything……… all indicates the lavishness with which nature has made provision for man.” What a great example for us; Nature itself does not lack anything but is a shining example of abundance. As we commence a new scroll, I reflect on the scroll Marked II and I think what a blessing this scroll has been to move me into an attitude of love & acceptance towards my brothers & sisters, and although I read it for the last time, it is still in my subconscious; “I greet this day with love in my heart,” waiting to be recalled to deflect a negative greeting or remark. This scroll and all the other combinations of exercises is setting us up through reprogramming the subconscious mind to receive the Abundance that is already here, waiting for us to name it and claim it! I recently received subcontract work from another local business, I mentioned in an email that we were open for business & offered our services. We are now receiving regular work from them. We need to be Proactive and put it out there. Do the work, make the calls and the universe will respond. Believe!

Although I still have some work to catch up on, I am optimistic about the future and I recommit to the challenge; this passage from the bible fits:”Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet, but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”                                                                                                                                                    Phillipians 3:13 & 14

Week 9 Substitute Good for bad

As I think back over the last 9 weeks & reflect on my progress to date I have become aware that I am not the same person that started the MKMMA. Slowly I am rebuilding. Hannel says,” some scientists now declare that we build ourselves over entirely every eleven months.” It is great to read of the progress others are seeing as they do the work and apply the principles from the MKMMA and build character. Hannel says,”Character is not a thing of chance, but is the result of continued effort.” Innitially the labour put in seemed monotonous and  we may question, ” Is this going to have any effect?”However the results are beginning to show in many areas of changes being made,  interesting chance meetings and opportunities opening up. What seem like insignificant routine exercises are changing the world within which in turn is having a positive effect on the world without. This is happening because we are slowly reconditioning the subconscious mind. Hannel says,”two things cannot exist in the same place at the same time.” He says,”If you are timid, vacillating, self-conscious, or if you are over-anxious or haressed by thoughts of fear or impending danger?” The “remedy is plainly to substitute thoughts of courage, power, self-reliance and confidence. We are slowly weeding out the thoughts of lack and limitation & replacing them with truth. I have recorded Frederic Andrews quote: “I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy.” this quote and others similar are the mental food we need to feed the subconscious  mind. By routinely, persistently feeding the subconscious the right information we will win! I will persist. I will win.

“Affirm the good, and the bad will vanish.”                                                                                                                                                                                Frederic Elias Andrews

Week 8 Thought

I have been under the opinion for many years that thought is just something that happens and we haven’t got much control over it. In this chapter it has been brought to our attention the vital role that our thoughts play in helping us to have some chance of success in life! Hannel says in 8:3 Any line of thought persisted in cannot  fail to produce its result on the character, health and circumstances of the individual. I have in the last couple of weeks realised that I have a tendency to allow outward circumstances to dictate the quality of my thoughts and when things are not going so well I can respond in negative ways to a given stimulus. But thanks to the MKMMA  I am beginning see positive change. I also realise that many of my responses have been very entrenched  from a lifetime of conditioning. But little by little I am taking back what “somebody stole”. It’s like, “I have finally found what I’ve been looking for.” Our thoughts over a lifetime have created the “Valley of Fear” and we have been powerless to ascend because we have been trapped by our own thoughts. I know now we  have the power available to us through the subconscious mind to achieve our greatest dreams but we need to guard our mind by analysing  every thought. Hannel say something interesting in 8:4 ” Learn to keep the door shut, keep out of your mind, out of your office, and out of your world, every element that seeks admittance with no definite helpful end in view.” I think he is saying, we don’t need to inhale a lot of the toxic waste that floats about on the wind and in the rivers of opinion. I have just started the Mental Diet and I am rising to the challenge. How are you going  with your diet? How’s your Mental Health?

I love what James Allen says about thoughts:

“Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruits which he requires so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless and impure thoughts, and cultivating towards perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful and pure thoughts. By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.”

Week 7 Visualize Your Hearts Desire

In the Master Keys this week it talks about “Visualization” & “making mental images”; “the image is the mold; a pattern,” of what you will one day become. It says,”Make the pattern clear and make it beautiful; do not be afraid; make it grand; remember that no limitation can be placed upon you by any one but yourself. So often we don’t set goals for fear we wont reach them, or we may not have the courage to aim high for fear of what other people may think, we fear that we may fail to reach the heights set so we don’t raise the bar too high. We place limits on ourselves, the truth is we have unlimited potential. “You are not limited; draw on the Infinite for your supply, construct it in your imagination; it will have to be there before it will ever appear anywhere else.” Our DMP is our Image of our true self, that person we aspire to be. As we read our DMP daily, with feeling, Visuallizing, believing, we eventually manifest our vision.  That is why it is important to keep perfecting and visualizing our DMP. Do we have enough beauty and joy in our lives? can we have more of these? Maybe we need to ask for these & include them in our vision also! “By holding the image or picture in mind, we can gradually but surely bring the thing nearer to us. We can be what we will to be.”

The Vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart – this you will build your life by, this you will become                                                                                                                           James Allen

Week 6 Vision or Hallucination

Week 6 feels like we have just stepped it up a gear & at the beginning of the week I was reeling wondering how I was going to catch up, I missed parts of both Webinars & had lots of commitments, but I have stayed committed & slowly have made progress. I am feeling better about this week now even though it has been the toughest week so far. I am feeling more confident in myself. I completed a magnet board last week so that I can display my work and keep a visual record. This makes it easier to track and harder to miss some things therefore I wont forget to complete tasks. I also can use 1/2 of the area for my dream board. I didn’t know the dream board was coming but the timing was spot on. I spent some time listening to Mark and Davene explain the shapes and set about getting started, it sounded complex but wasn’t that difficult once I got into it. I got them sorted and printed. In previous weeks I have been worried about missing something but now I am just doing what I can & anything that I don’t understand I will get help with. I have caught up on Master Keys this week as I have been neglecting this due to time constraints. I still have some catching up to do but I am seeing results, I am feeling happier because I am completing jobs and not stalling as was the case in the past. I find I am committing to the tasks no matter what the time so the job gets done. I think my attitude has stepped up and I am not affected by the negative comments of others, I think the opinions exercise has helped me to communicate more positively also. Mark shared a quote this week by Edison that I love: “A Vision without Execution is an Hallucination”. I have allowed my dreams to drift away like smoke on the wind because I was constantly allowing them to be affected by the winds of change. It’s time to hold the vision & execute the change that we want! As we move forward the Vision will materialize.

Week 5 “Beginning is half done”

Week 5 has been a crazy week & I didn’t manage to get my Blog done on time, but there were still some positive lessons learned. I have never seen myself as being opinionated  but I can see now that we all have strong opinions and when unchecked can create conflict and problems. It was interesting while in a class this week the teacher was discussing documenting case notes and talked about the importance of just writing the facts because when we add our opinion it can change the context and there can be adverse consequences for the client. It was an interesting observation and I have become more aware of what I say. During a staff meeting I found myself taking every though captive & instead of giving an opinion I asked  questions to try to direct conversation in the desired direction. In another situation I was on the receiving end of someone else’s opinion. Looking back at this I felt I disagreed with the person’s opinion but at the time I went along with it. I perhaps could have challenged  it, which would have been my opinion against his. Perhaps no response would have had more impact? Because of a busy work  schedule this week I got behind with the “Press Release” also. I managed to get something done once I got started. Something new and we tend to procrastinate, but beginning is half done!

Press Release

Tasmanian Entrepreneur Interviewed by David Koch at the Henry Jones Hobart

Samantha Townsend – Sunday Tasmanian – posted: Sunday, 24 March 2019

David Koch was in in Hobart today to interview local Entrepreneur & Youth Advocate Greg Lassig about his Business Networks which are Creating Opportunities for Australian Youth. The Television presenter who hosts Kochies Business Builders met with Greg at the Henry Jones:

Kochie:  What motivated you to get involved with young people?

Greg: I got involved with disadvantaged youth after working for myself in the cabinetmaking trade and small business for a number of years. In working with these young people I could see that many had great potential but had no hands on work experience, no support or mentors to help them get started in the work force.

Kochie:  What obstacles did you encounter along the way?

Greg: Money and time. Although the idea to help these young people was one I have had from the start, the opportunity to take the idea further was often hindered by no money for investing in the idea, no time to plan a strategy & no idea of how I was going to solve these  problems.

Kochie: What keeps you going?

Greg: Seeing the lives of young people change as they develop their creative potentials, self  confidence and independence and become leaders.

Kochie: You have real estate interests. How does it play a part  in your business.

Greg: We invest in properties which have renovation potential and these are good projects for training our young people

Kochie: Where to from here? what do you plan to do next?

Greg: We continue to expand our training into new skill areas & increase the numbers of trainees as the need arises. We develop mentoring programmes to motivate our trainees to achieve their own success.

Week 4 See it through even if the heavens fall

Another week has gone by very quickly and has thrown a lot of challenges my way. I didn’t have my week planned very well, nothing written down & so I have found looking back that I am behind again and struggling to keep up. If I am honest I realize that I have been meeting the demands of others but not my own. I have managed to keep the exercises going but have struggled with Og after lunch some day when working. I may have to set an alarm for this. I have caught up with some of the Digital C. but still behind. I have noticed that the Giving & Receiving service card exercise has made a noticeable change and I have been conscious of greeting people. Expectations of others has been the major area that I realize I have to address; I sometimes have given in to requests of others which has left me with no time to achieve my own goals. I found Mastey Key 4:12 applied to this: ” When we start something and do not complete it, or make a resolution and do not keep it, we are forming the habit of failure; absolute, ignominious failure. If you do not intend to do a thing, do not start; if you do start, see it through even if the heavens fall; if you make up your mind to do something, do it; let nothing, no one, interfere; the “I” in you has determined, the thing is settled; the die is cast, there is no longer any argument.  I have become focused on the “World Within”. Helpful passages relating to this subject this week : 4:15 the “World Within” is controlled by the “I” and this “I” is a part or one with the Infinite “I” which is the Universal Energy or Spirit, usually called God. 4:20 ” Know ye not that ye are the temple of the living God?” Here, then, is the secret of the wonderful creative power of the “World Within.” I seem to be progressing with my DMP so I am happy with this, thanks to guidance from Sandra. I noticed that I am dealing with some negative emotions when things don’t go to plan. Fear and anger seem to be there and I want to blame someone else. But pressing on to week 5 I am looking forward to trying to consolidate what we have done so far & rising to new challenges. I am setting up a schedule for the exciting week ahead!

Week 3 War and Peace

This week was the biggest challenge of MKMMA course, my old self is fighting the digital army and I am wanting to wave my white flag and surrender to the pain, but I fight on! I am frustrated with my slow progress, just when I think I am about to defeat the enemy; one step away from victory, I notice that a key weapon has disappeared off the map, vanished into hyperspace and left me vulnerable. I regroup & charge back in for another assalt only to repeat the result. I go back to the battle plans again to check if i got it right the second time, but computers do not lie, it must be my execution of the maneuvers I think to myself. I was making progress, I am now declaring war on the digital army! I will never surrender! So, I am still finding the digital stuff challenging but am moving ahead in other areas.

My experience sitting exercise:” this morning I woke up, lay in bed for a short time, predominant thoughts were negative, my mind was telling me to get up, eventually I succumbed, walking around semi-conscious, my mind starting to think about what I have to do today. Thoughts still negative. I decide to read a scroll, and then sit, my mind is fighting it, ‘Have you got time?’ As I start I have a lot of things going on in my mind distracting me from the task. Then I focus and the senses start to kick in. The visual is strong as I begin and I see the day outside and the sun streaming in through the double -hung windows. A large tree outside is moving in the wind. The leaves on one side are rustling while some at the top right are just waving gently. My eyes catch 3 glass plant holders hanging in the window and I observe their shape and each has a large hole and 2 smaller holes at the top and a small plant inside. Suddenly I am distracted by a steady dominant sound coming from the desk in the corner of the room. It is the sound of the alarm clock ticking. Then a whole chorus of sounds come flooding in. I hear the sound of insects outside which has now become a drone as I tune in. I can hear vehicles quiet at first but almost roaring as they climb the slight hill outside. As larger vehicles pass I hear the double-hung windows rattle & I feel a vibration all the way to my chair. The sounds now seem to have dominated for a time and I hear a distant whisping sound of blades rotating, it increases in volume as it gets closer until it is almost a rumballing noise and then all of a sudden it just fades away. I am distracted by a thought,’Somebody might come soon’, I cast the thought aside & continued on. I close my eyes and I am conscious of my eyelids twitching and all seems dark & then colour starts to invade the space. It seems like a lavender haze. I start to drift and relax, then my thoughts go to my family. My mind brings each one to me, and I pray for each one in turn. I open my eyes and the visual is dominant again. I see a cupboard covered with bears. My eyes focus on a red circle, it is “Elmo’s” limb. I look across to the clock on the desk and as I focus again it’s monotone sound floods back strong again. I observe how the senses fight for dominance but as I drifted from one sense to the next the time spent was therapeutic. I glance back at the clock again and I realize I have escaped for 20 mins. My mind is at peace now and I am ready for the challenges of the day.”
