Message of a master by John mcdonald

 Before the long weekend got over I wanted to complete this 66 page book I got myself many years back after Robin Sharma's suggestion. Message of a master. I raced through the book just so I can call it finished. It's spiritual in a sense, combining knowledge we learn from other places. I have to read this book a few times or maybe all my life but for now here are few things I remember.

1. Trust something in order to get the best from it. Doubt only steals you an opportunity to learn.

2. Your mind is like the ground for a seed - a blueprint. The roots are nourishment , the seed is an idea. And it reaches towards light to seek and become what it sought out to be

3. This seed if bothered with a lot will not be able to get it's growth in. The seed needs to focus on one thing. Making use of what it has now to get to the next best place it can get to

The signal you get on the radio if there are multiple signals nearby interfering is not clear. To tune in you need to be clear about the frequency you are tuning into and only have that

Externalizing what you want within by pictures, people, books and similar things that vibe with it

4. The seed - our mind has three parts. The deep, the inner and the outer. The deep is about allowing our body to do it's daily duties. The outer is everything we get through our senses and is called the negative pole. The inner is what we process and decide to bring back our attention to. Many times the outer influences the inner. With practice of bringing our attention back to one thing, we have to let the inner affect the outer

5. The resistance is important for growth. The negative makes the positive become, stronger. Like an airplane soars high by the resistance below it

6. Taking alone time each day and focusing on powerful word

7. The universal 'I am'

8. Secretiveness

9. Keeping the momentum going even after achieving something. No rest for you, dear mind

10. Keeping only the soil needed for nourishing the seed, throwing away the rubbish we don't need for the seed to grow.

11. Cooperate with the law of your being.

12. Learning what others are thinking. 

13. Nourishing

14. To get to a blank space, and decide something
