Prayer
I have come to understand that Prayer is as individual as the humans. Community prayers bring people together and join their energies as a way of fueling the individual God consciousness of those gathered. Many humans pray to receive what they think they do not yet own. Others prayer in order to make themselves feel […]
Change
It is inevitable, every person, place, thing, situation, institution, and principality changes. When I allow those outside changes to negatively affect me, I am causing my own suffering. Today, I choose to live in acceptance of each change which will occur in my life. Today, I will lovingly accept the changes which happen within me. […]
Pain relief
I am reminded how I used alcohol to relieve any pain I had: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Admittedly, the relief was temporary at best so I had to try to convince myself I was just fine until the pressure built up so much that I would drink again. During this journey of recovery and […]
Maintain
In the beginning of my recovery, I would preach about how I had been saved from alcohol and I would tell that to everyone! Until my sponsor pointed out how I was doing more bragging that service work. I also loved to use my newfound recovery to try to impress people, especially beautiful young women, […]
Peace
I am reminded this morning of the peace which surpasses all understanding. I used to think it was an impossible state which was reserved for those humans who were much holier than I. Today I understand where the peace comes from and how to attain it. The peace beyond all understanding comes from communing with […]
Emotional maturity
I am reminded of the importance of continuing my moral inventories to discover any dependencies and alchemize them to their root cause in order to change that core belief. In so doing I can choose to respond to the world as opposed to just reacting with the same unhealthy thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors. I […]
Solid foundation.
I am reminded of the importance of a solid foundation on which I can build my life. Honesty and integrity seem to be the most important elements of my foundation. Honesty wrapped in compassion and humility allows me to convey my messages in order to be the most helpful to the greatest number of people. […]
Experimentation.
I am reminded how I have learned most things about life through experimentation. I experimented with drugs, alcohol, adultery, agnosticism, religiosity, self-righteousness, arrogance, hatred, and the like. I gained an incredible amount of knowledge from each of those experiments. I discovered what I do and do not prefer. I found what brings me out of […]
Repeatedly.
I am reminded how humans are created to experience new lessons throughout their lives. Some call it being reborn or born again. No one is made wholly new it is a rebirth which means we start as a child. Not knowing anything and willing to learn everything. My experience has been that we get to […]
Never alone.
I am reminded how I am never alone. I am connected to God. Being a creation of the Divine Source, I cannot be disconnected from God. Even at the lowest points of my life, when I felt completely alone, I was connected to the Divine Source. When living only through my ego I said I […]
