Chapter 14

Destiny

Here we are. The end of the line.

This chapter is called “Destiny”. What is destiny? What is free will? By taking on this Quest were you exercising some degree of free will over your life choices or were you destined to take this Quest? Are we destined to understand what free will actually is? Or do we use our free will to understand the concept of destiny? These are the questions we seek on the path toward mastery.

In the Emotional Exercises during the next three days, you will be asked to review all nine steps that have led you here. Being the ninth and final phase of the Quest, the number “9” represents completion, endings, but also symbolic of all the previous eight numbers combined. Here is where you understand that you traveled through your outer world only to find the answers are within.

Dorothy discovered the ruby slippers had the power all along to take her back to Kansas. The reward she sought was with her all the time. Once destroying the Death Star, Luke was instructed that, “The Force will be with you, always.” After that he received a medal for his efforts alongside his new companions who would join him for a lifetime of future adventures.

They say no man is an island. I believe that continuing on in a life of mastery is sharing the Quest process and your stories with others. On a deeper level the Quest is transcending the ego to reach the Divine within. Most importantly, upon completion of the Quest you will ask the questions: Who have I become as a person? What Quest is the correct one for this new person?

So now we review elements from The Quest: 

The first workout (DAY 28) will be dedicated to reviewing the first phase: Origins, Shadows, and Helping Hands. This is where you made a choice, an intellectual decision to invite something to change your life. This is the “Asking” phase in the three step process of Ask, Believe, Receive. It represents Unconscious Incompetence and calls you off into the unknown. You are actively participating in the act of creation. The second day of your workouts (DAY 29) in this chapter will recap the second phase: Deserts, Plot Twists, and Nights. This is where you emotionally commit to this life change and develop new emotional habits to define the new person you are becoming. This is the “Believing” phase of Ask-Believe-Receive and represents Conscious Incompetence. The ego needs this phase to allow the powerful emotions to transcend the ego’s limitations. Finally, on the last day (DAY 30) of this Quest you will review the third phase including Transcendence, Climax, Destiny. This is where the consistency of your choices finally produce tangible results in your life. This is the "Receiving" of Ask-Believe-Receive where you become Consciously Competent. Now you'll master the trinity of this Quest: Ask-Believe-Receive, Mind-Emotion-Physical Reality, Unconscious Incompetence-Conscious Incompetence-Conscious Competence. Once these skills are accepted and absorbed on the unconscious level, One can explore Unconscious Competence.

What have you become as a person? What will you create on your next Quest?
