MKE Round 3 – The MKE Pilgrimage

This is my third time starting the Master Key Experience, and this time through I would like to look at it from a different perspective.  As a pilgrimage.

According to Wikipedia, a pilgrimage is a journey or search of moral or spiritual significance.

A pilgrimage is a journey, often into an unknown or foreign place, where a person goes in search of new or expanded meaning about their self, others, nature, or a higher good, through the experience.  It can lead to a personal transformation, after which the pilgrim returns to their daily life.  Wikipedia

Well, that sounds a lot like the Master Key Experience!

Some of you may have done a pilgrimage.  Two and a half years ago I walked the Camino de Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage in Spain.  This was a journey of approximately 800 km (500 miles).  I am not sure that I was searching for something in particular, but there was self-discovery.  This included learning what I am capable of doing, what my limitations and strengths are, and I learned a lot about other people as well.  Including my daughter, as she was my primary walking partner for this 36 day odyssey.  I was blessed to have her at my side, and we helped each other a lot (a true mastermind alliance).

You could also liken the pilgrimage to the Hero’s Journey, and I might talk more about that later.  But for now I want to see if I can treat the Master Key Experience like a pilgrimage.  After all, it is a journey, I am seeking something – a new Me!  Or the good old me, but better.

Actually, I am going so far as to say that the Master Key Experience IS a pilgrimage, not just LIKE a pilgrimage.

Do we ever return, as a pilgrim, to our old life?  I don’t think so, at least not in the same way.  We will see as we go along.

I think this will give me a reason to continue blogging, and a theme for the year. I am looking forward both to the Master Key Experience, and to my renewed “pilgrimage” this year.
