MKE 2018 – Week 13: The Top of the Mountain is Only Half-Way!

Week 13 of the Master Key Experience is the “top of the mountain”. But it is only half-way of the whole journey.

Yes, that’s right, the top of the mountain is only half-way, and the final goal of ascending a mountain is not just to reach its top, but to return home alive so that we can enjoy and share the full experience!

There is no point of reaching the top of a mountain if it is not to enjoy the experience and bring it back home to share it with others!

Week 13 is the culminating point of the MKE ascent because all the strategies and skills to bring our mind and heart to create good habits in replacement of the old bad ones have been revealed and put into practice (the Sit, the DMP set in all its forms, Og’s reading, the color shapes, the chore card, the gratitude cards, etc., etc.)

From there on comes the descent. We may think it will be easier. Usually, it is not.

Because the descent requires dedication and concentration. Remember, we want to return home alive.

In the Master Key Experience, it means reaching Week 26 with all the strategies and skills transformed into habits thanks to sheer repetition all along the way.

And this is hard, mainly because it looks too easy at first, and then we might tend to skip a practice here and there, which makes us slipping away until we have forgotten the practice…

There is another characteristic to Week 13: it is a point of “no return”.

Not all summits are points of “no return”, but this one clearly is. Why?

Because if we stop now with the idea “to rest and to recover for a while” and to restart next year, we are losing the momentum of the journey.

This will leave the ground to the Old Blueprint, which will be aware of all the strategies that will be deployed against him the next time we start the MKE. And this will make the new ascent even harder than the first time!

In conclusion, if you have reached Week 13 thanks to your earnest dedication to your journey, you are left with only one option: to go on until the end.

So, enjoy for a moment the beautiful view from the summit of Week 13, then take a big breath, focus your mind and heart on your Hero’s journey and plunge into the descent…your new life is waiting for you at the bottom!
