It’s possible I have missed a blog week but here goes.

This last week has been the most powerful week of the whole course for me. I became so passionate about my purpose that I could not sleep for 2 or 3 days. What happened?

I was doing all the exercises and contributing in my polo group and because of this I was more focused on getting important things done. The ‘do it now’ mantra was strong in my awareness and it made many significant changes in my life. The kind of changes that I started this whole process for.

But last week I was participating in the first day of the ‘Simple Six” course where ones spends a lot of time revealing what is most important in ones’ life and realizing that the qualities that one admires in another person are really already in oneself (or you couldn’t recognize and appreciate those qualities). For this last process I picked a wise holy man who has been in my life for over 40 years.

Because of this I changed my PPN from what I consider a material orientated one (Liberty) for a more spiritual one (spiritual growth) I had known all along that this was a powerful force in my life. I have spent my whole life in this pursuit and often considered my activities were only a means to pay the bills to support this quest.

But my orientation to spirituality for decades has been that spirituality was not something you could necessarily affect in the material. No matter how much focus or meditation one did – true spirituality was on an entirely different level (since I have directly experienced it so for 40 year) and it relied on what might be termed as ‘grace’.

BUT it seemed that consciously allowing myself to acknowledge this direction as my PPN somehow opened up my heart to the appreciation of this spirituality which I had already grown in myself over the years.

It was tremendous. It was cosmic. It was unending. That is why I could not sleep for many days. As soon as I closed my eyes I was overwhelmed. This emotion and PASSION got applied it seems to all my other goals and purposes.

Anyway , I am grateful to that exercise by Mark. I have gone through similar exercise before by other ‘trainers’ but this was so much more relevant to me. It’s curious to me that the other exercise which I really love was also from the Simple Six course.

It involved creating a large stack of index cards with happy times and life achievements written on them. I spent the whole morning yesterday writing these out and found it great fun with strong happy effects when I go over them.

Thank you Mark.
