There is a reason why the Alhambra, an Arab palace built 800 years ago in Granada, South of Spain, is the most visited place in Europe : its incredible and magic beauty.
There are no words to describe the intense positive feelings which submerged me when I entered in the first room of the palace, and these feelings were continuously increasing as I progressed through it.
After two hours of visit, my heart and soul were filled with peace and gratitude for those who were able to build such a legacy for the human kind.
The Alhambra’s beauty is the result of millions of hours of patient work by inspired and skillfull stonecutters.
I am sharing this in my blog this week because it contains a message of hope and perseverance to all the MKMMA students who are currently tortured by their old blueprint and think of abandoning their Hero ‘s Journey!
They feel discouraged because their procrastination habits or any other bad habits they want to get rid of are still there after four weeks of earnest effort.
Using the Alhambra as a metaphore, let’s imagine for a minute that it represents a human being who has reached the perfection in all planes of existence – like a perfectly cut diamond.
Before the Alhambra could become that magnificient palace, a lot of training and experience had to be accumulated, and it is the same for each human being.
Many years of procrastination habits (or any other bad habits) cannot reasonably be erased by a few minutes of daily exercise during 3 or 4 weeks.
Exactly like the stone decorations of the Alhambra could not be successfully made by “beginner” stonecutter artists.
So then, what should each MKMMA member do to make sure their old blueprint did not bring them off track, whatsoever?
The answer is simple: to do all the MKMMA exercises with the absolute faith that the results will arise, whatsoever, and that the only unknown in the equation is « when » it will arise.
To think that there is NOTHING IN THE WORLD which is more important than the execution of these exercises for their future and the future of their children, partners, spouse, family and friends, because this is the absolute truth.
To not let the mind interfere with the process, when the time planned for an exercise has come, to not think, to JUST DO IT…This is by the way the only place where it is not allowed to think!!!
By working so with patience and faith on themselves, they will eventually reach as human beings the perfection and beauty of the Alhambra.
To allow this for thousands of human beings is the ultimate goal of the MKMMA training.
Have a quick look on the inside of the Alhambra, the ultimate perfection and refinement in palace decoration and landscape gardening, and see how it could maybe inspire you like it did for me 🙂
