It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
Our powerful Master Key class last Sunday 10/25 launched us into an incredible week of new practices, including being an “observer” and expressing no opinions. We were challenged to read and absorb Emerson’s essay on COMPENSATION, rich with images and information to savor.
In the midst of all of this, moving through my workday Wednesday, the YouTube clip above started to play. I sat watching, jaw dropping, mesmerized. AT AGE EIGHT the final lines of this poem were Oprah’s door-opener to the truths we in this Master Mind are becoming more and more aware of, studying, and anchoring into our beings. We know the success her life has been. It was the first of many confirmations that I heard this week as I participated in a couple of zooms and Marco Polo.
For example, one of our guides had imagined herself into her dream home, down to the wall colors and fireflies in the back yard! At another time she had imagined an amount of money without knowing how that might come to her–and it came by way of a bank error that the bank refused to take back! Several others shared business success stories beyond what they’d been able to achieve before seeping themselves in what it takes daily emotionally to replace bad habits of thinking with effective ones.
Almost 6 weeks in I AM THRILLED that all this has come my way even though I’m pretty far past my 8th birthday….
Shirley, Oprah lived these words, and so do we!
Roz, thanks for that reminder. It is a delight to be sharing ALL this with you.
I’m thrilled you shared this with us! It’s waaay past my 8th birthday too but the next best time to open that door of truths and possibilities would be today! 🙂
Shirley, what counts is that this has come your way. From your blog rover friend.
John, when I think that I had not known about MKE…I want to get the word out. Thanks, John.
