Well we all returned from the Thanksgiving holiday as our Master Key lessons picked up where we left off. Connections are continuing in all aspects of what we’ve been studying, affirming to ourselves through recordings, and the services we’ve been performing. More things are happening before our eyes, and in the sometimes unexplainable situations that are mysteriously appearing in our lives. This week contained a bit of a review of Master Key lessons 9 and 10, and one of the key areas of connection was in the inference or in some cases direct reference to some of the 7 Laws of the Mind with certain sections of both lessons. The Laws of Growth, Practice, Substitution and Dual Thought all made an appearance in either one or both. It was awesome as we were shown these correlations that helped us to focus on the fact that we are bombarding “subby” from all different directions and all different ways of learning that we were taught before the break.
Speaking of Lesson 10, it is there we find the definitive statement that “Knowledge will not apply itself”. It requires personal responsibility combined with the natural law of attraction toward a definite purpose with a burning desire for the expected manifestation.
We also learned the true meaning of persistence. Most people think that persistence is a characteristic, but that is wrong thinking. Persistence is a habit, and is actually a byproduct of 4 tiny habits in combination. And the big “aha moment” or big realization was that all of the exercises that we have been doing all along have been designed to help us develop those four. They are:
1. Definite purpose backed by a burning desire
2. A written plan fueled by continuous action
3. A mind closed to all thoughts of negativity
4. A friendly alliance with one or more for encouragement and accountability.
Persistence – The week 11 gift!
