This year, at my third year of studying and practicing the MKMMA program, the Battleship exercise has taken a new dimension.

What is the common point between a battleship and a butterfly?

I always do this exercise during my evening sit, and in the two first years, after having seen the Battleship docked in the harbor, with its massive weaponry and its perfectly trained crew, the exercise became more and more difficult as I tried to visualize the construction of the boat, the smelting of the steel, the work of the naval architect, the council of politicians ordering the construction, and finally the population electing the politicians.

This time, though, I could easily go through the whole sequence of scenes…of course, with practice comes the ability to perform better and better…

But this time, the DEEP sense that I was part of the electors and co-responsible for the construction and the operations of the battleship was present too…not just the intellectual understanding of this fact but a clear sensation of that truth in my being…

As a consequence, the awareness that I could make the same exercise for any circumstance arising in my consciousness (a thing, an event, an experience lived by any human being, etc.) appeared like an evidence.

I am responsible and co-creator of every single bit of circumstance that I become aware of day by day.

A feeling of power and hope has invaded me since a few days, even if not only positive news come to my ears everyday, because I have now the proof that I have the power to positively influence even the wing beat of a butterfly anywhere on the planet by the appropriate work in my “World Within.”

Of course, everybody knows the rule: PPPPP (Perfect Practice Prevent Poor Performance)!

So, let’s go to work…are you with me?!
