Hi team,
Thank you all for your presence and imput on our last conf call. For me it was an uplifting evening and I really felt strongly the team building elements. Gratitude and love. Thank you.
I will endeavour here to report in about the Gold Coast and what is happening here on the aspirant and propagation level. It's magical and seems to be powering itself but we all know what it is at the heart of everything.
The personal growth and understanding of the aspirants here over and since the Amaroo event has been very beautiful and humbling for us to witness. We already had in place for that day our big aspirant event with Chris and Lee here on the Gold Coast. We were excited, it was our biggest number of aspirants yet. The hall was booked, everything was prepared, everyone was ready. Then, on the Friday night before, we received the news, as did everyone in the country and NZ, and we all as contacts know what happened next. It was an extremely busy 30 hours that followed! Amazing things happened. People pulled together, rallied, brainstormed, people with Knowledge and aspirants alike to try and organise cars and lifts so that everyone could get there. Again we are in the fortunate geographical situation of being only an hour and a half away by road. Elderly people who thought they were unable to get there arrived in style, chauffeured, and looked after. Aspirants taking care of each other and bonding in the process, new PWK offering to take aspirants and getting so blissed out they didn't understand why. Now they know.
"The Knowledge teaches them the Knowledge."
One thing we have noticed is that this band of aspirants has a genuine love of the Master. They want to write to express their love and gratitude, and to send presents. I haven't seen this before. One aspirant rang me back late Saturday night to let me know that he had organised a lift for himself. He was overjoyed at the prospect of seeing M "for real", and said he feels like he is a child again and tomorrow is Christmas. My heart at that point goes into overflow and comes out my eyes …How very real that childlike feeling is in the presence of Love.
All of our regular aspirants, except for one who was interstate at the time, were able to make it to Amaroo which was very wonderful for them. A culmination of a lot of effort on their part. We have been scheduling two aspirant events per week because the need was apparent, plus the aspirant video library has been so successful we have had to purchase a second set so that we are not empty handed at the aspirant table. I guess this is what I meant by grass roots. We just started scheduling aspirant events when they were needed. Looking after the aspirants seems to be a priority. Not just because of our little team being involved in this area, but it is an obvious priority.
Also, we were scheduling a fair few of the recommended viewing videos as some aspirants have no personal VCR. Pow Ming made a point of asking everyone if they had seen all of the recommended viewing videos, during her visit here. You can just envisage an awed out little aspirant sitting in the AFK meeting being asked that question and there was just one that they hadn't seen yet. Eek.!
Something to consider. Soon, all or most of our aspirants will be PWK and it will be back to the drawing board and working on building our regular aspirant numbers up again.
I recently did a little personal survey. And asked all the aspirants (on the quiet) how they heard about M and Knowledge. .Very interesting. Two found the website. Got a response to look into EV website which showed them the events in their area. Another was just walking by the venue at the right time. What would you call that? One had family in UK with K, a few had contact many years ago but didn't have the thirst, didn't make the connection, but most were just given one of those little invitation cards either by a PWK or an aspirant.
Here on the Gold Coast we have an Intro event only once a month. We try to make it as widely known as we can by MC announcement as soon as it is scheduled, and the invitation cards are written on, which is usually two weeks prior to the event, and just after the second LM has been shown. We encourage everyone to take cards and invite someone or two to the next event., and we also encourage everyone to attend and support these events. It's too easy to say,"Oh it's only introductory. I don't have to go." In fact the opposite is true. Everyone should participate in Intro events if possible if these are to be truly successful.
Regular announcements are made after each video event to encourage and remind people in their moments of greatest inspiration that this is indeed our opportunity. His gift to us. For us. Nothing feels better than when we are able to tell someone of this unique chance of fulfillment, and they embrace it, take it for their own. It's because, after practising Knowledge, this is what He wants us to do. Reach people. Remember what he said about Melbourne. "I'm not there. You are." And I know in my own life, in my own little day and interactions, that for every bunch of people that aren't interested there is always one that has just been waiting. Then there are some who are interested but not yet. They have other priorities. That's okay. Give them time and space and come back to them. Where we feel there is no time to waste, others don't feel that yet, and we have to give them that.
I don't know what it is like living anywhere else in 2000, only here one the Gold Coast but I do know that we are extremely fortunate. All of us. M is setting such an incredible pace and giving us so much of Himself. The new video materials are amazing and getting better all the time. The video productions team does such a wonderful job. I just love getting those new materials up and running as soon as possible. I see His desire is for us to keep up. Another example of His great love for us.
The material resources table at events is a delight to the eye and the hats goes off to Karin and her team for the beautiful displays, promotion of sales and all of her fresh and innovative ideas to help propagation in the MR area. ( MR contacts are welcome to contact K. C.d on FC )
The information table looks beautiful. The printed materials are of such good quality and so beautifully presented . This is now a global standard and I'm sure that every centre would be experiencing a similar quality in their presentation.
All of our little teams join together to make bigger and bigger teams until there is one big team.
He sees it all. The whole picture. I feel very privileged to be involved in the magical world of M and Knowledge, where He calls the shots and sets the pace., where love and teamwork is the agenda, and when we do work together life becomes simple, exciting and we can accomplish anything that is asked of us.
Love and regards
M.
