19 On Appreciating Deeper Processes - On Releasing



EXPERIENCE has taught us that when we are willing to release the habits of our own fearfulness, when we are prepared to give over and give up the benefits of our dis-ease, however shady or mystical their origins and however lost in the periphery of our consciousness, then, and only then, will they begin to slip away. 
These habits, together with our resentments and the judgments generated by them, are what keep us chained to our past. 
The pain will be lifted from us.  It will simply and easily slip away.  But first we must ask.

To Be Able To Experience The Benefit Of Release
There Is Only One Requirement
…I Must Believe That It Is Possible.
Oddly Enough, Most Of Us Refuse To Want To Believe This.

18 On Appreciating Deeper Processes - A Newfound Place



EXPERIENCE has taught us that our perception of these newfound insights is only relative to our points of view and often, especially early on in our experiment with life, is reactive as well. 
Those judgments gathered from our new points of view or from our development of a new and open experience with a Higher Power are often biased by the outcomes of previous experiences we thought we had with that Higher Power or with one of His surrogates; thus, the reflex reaction. 
All of this analysis is simply our reaction to what we believe might be there.  All is simply to be noted and let go of.
As we become more deeply rooted in the practice of extending our daily rituals to include a participation with our Higher Power, what follows is our ability to remain quiet, open, centered, and then, and only then, to simply ob­serve, hopefully never to judge. This is what prevents us from becoming reactive, self-conscious, and hurt.



“With” Is The Key Word.

17 On Appreciating Deeper Processes - A Newfound Place



EXPERIENCE has taught us that, for this newfound place to have sufficient power to operate and penetrate into the deeper, darker recesses of our minds and our past, it needs a steady, conscious commitment to truth and honesty. Know this:  the old mythological defensive strategies of denial and delusion will struggle to hang on. 
But, as this commitment to deeper truth and honesty is joined with our daily rituals of being, this relationship and its natural maturation process will begin to reveal insights to us that are both unsettling and reassuring, often at the same time. 



Just Notice.  That’s All.  Simply Notice.
