A Strange Vision
When I was an 8 year old boy, while walking on the sidewalk on my way to a school mate’s, a very strange thing happened. In the midst of my thoughts about which games I’d like to play with my friend, an incredible vision of the deep space filled with a myriad of shining stars came from nowhere on the screen of my mind.
The vision just lasted for a few seconds, but it was so intense that I could see it with my eyes wide open on the sidewalk, and its imprint in my memory is still vivid today, several dozens of years later.
What happened? I spent the first part of my adult life without having any answer to that question.
The Big Trap of the River of Dreams*
Actually, I didn’t really look for an answer during all that time, as I was mainly focused on playing my best role in the Rat Race… As most people, I got married just after my studies, bought a house and raised my kids while working like a workaholic in my business.
Eventually, just before drowning for good in the River of Dreams*, I got a tragic wake-up call…
The dreadful 9/11 event in New York City created a traumatic shock in my consciousness and nailed me in my office chair with a nagging question: what could I do to contribute avoiding such horrors to happen again in the future?
The only logical answer that came to my mind during that eye opening moment was to start by bringing some order in my own life before hoping that “others” would start improving the world!
That was the beginning of my Hero’s Journey to become a better version of myself, a self-directed thinker for me, my family, friends, colleagues and the rest of the world.
23 years later, I’m still a “work in progress” but I learned a few things that really transformed my life, one of them being the Master Key Experience (MKE) training.
Being or Becoming a Self-Directed Thinker?
If you are reading this post, it means with 100% certainty that you too are on your way to achieving a Hero’s Journey to become a better version of yourself, a self-directed thinker.
Everybody involved in the MKE knows that becoming a Self-Directed Thinker is the main reason why they accept to endure the six-month long set of daily routines that the training requires.
Now if you have the burning desire to become a Self-Directed Thinker, I have good news for you: you already are one!
This is not a simple guess. It’s an absolute truth: all Human Beings are Self-Directed Thinkers by design.
In other words, the ability to be a Self-Directed Thinker is innate. That’s why we cannot really become a Self-Directed Thinker, since we already are one from birth.
The Great Conditioning
The simple reason why the overwhelming majority of people are not exercising their natural self-directed thinking abilities is the hard conditioning to which they have been subjected since their birth.
That conditioning is mainly produced by the River of Dreams* and creates many “bugs” in our natural “Self-Directed Thinking” process, to a point where most of us don’t even realize we have this wonderful ability which can lead us to our dream life.
Once an individual recovers all or part of his or her Self-Directed Thinker ability, he or she becomes only interested in discovering the truth, and is no longer attracted by the glitter of the River of Dreams*.
A Simple Revealing Little Test
However, it takes awareness and a lot of courage, know-how and persistence to recover our natural Human Being abilities to think properly.
I know it because I’ve been there… and so do you! Not convinced?
Do you really want to find out the truth about yourself? Are you a self-directed thinker?
Then here is an easy, revealing short test for you. Quickly scan all the areas of your life (eg. health, family, spirituality, profession, finances, projects, etc.) and make a short list of the things which really don’t work well right now in your life.
Once your short list is ready, answer as honestly as possible the following question: “Is it true that for every single item on that list, I know, deep in my heart, that I could do better, if only…?” Fill the dots with appropriate content, then see if you can accept the idea that this content is always a pure construction of the River of Dreams*!”
If you answered Yes, congratulations, you are ready for the first decision toward a new life of harmony and abundance… the decision to become again who you really are, a Self-Directed Thinker in full possession of his or her faculties!
Courage is All You Need!
As I said earlier, taking action to become a self-directed thinker requires courage, know-how and persistence.
If you choose to move forward, the MKE training will give you exactly what you need as for the know-how and the persistence.
Your job will be to bring your courage in this life game, with your recovered Sovereignty as a reward for victory.
Now that you know, I trust you’ll make the right choice for yourself and I look forward to the honor of being your guide in the soon coming new MKE thrilling adventure!
With love,
Luc
PS: maybe you are asking yourself what is the link between my little boy vision of the deep space and what you just read. It’s normal. This link cannot be found here yet. It will come in my next post which will be on the same topic, and I promise you’ll be flabbergasted! 😉
*River of Dreams: expression inspired from a Billy Joel song, “The River of Dreams”, and designating a system of social devices, environments and technologies that tear people away from their true life purpose, and in many cases, literally steal their consciousness by transforming them into ignorant and consenting slaves of the system.
Some examples of elements composing that system can be found in Main Stream Media, Social Media, Advertising, educational and governmental institutions, religious institutions, spiritual movements like the “New Age”, etc., etc.
