The GateKeeper Scam

The InnerRealm is a fiercely protected territory. A Trekker needs a solid Mental CommandCenter, well-stocked WayStations to help during estrangement, and a trusted BorderPatrol for guidance. For example. I didn't realize that I had invested deeply in a GateKeeper Scam and had fallen under the influence of giving myself over to others, even if they didn't sign up to the GateKeeper Program.

My reinvigorated BorderPatrol was able to decipher the signs of GateKeeper Approach and thwart the shadowy handoffs.

I slowed down until I heard each Gatekeeper Profile, identifying five. I listed them in print, said their name and connection out loud, until I found myself at the edge of NauseaPit.

All these years, I've condemned my father as the source of my pain, but now I'm grasping that I assigned him a GateKeeper Role, even though he lived a difficult life of his own and died a long time ago. He isn't my GateKeeper; he isn't monitoring whether I'm acceptable and loved.

But I can TurnAround my FingerPoint and Awaken to what I'm telling myself.

Who are these Gatekeepers I've appointed? None of them signed a Gatekeeper contract, yet I see them as instrumental to the opening and closing of my Path. It's understandable. I was raised to take responsibility for family glitches, and thus assume heat that isn't necessarily mine.
