57 On Seeing Simple Truths - On the Helped and the Helper




EXPERIENCE has taught us that the only true objective of helpfulness is to always bring to those needing help an understanding and acceptance of what is available to them to do for themselves so they can, sooner or later, do it themselves.
This applies to whatever needs to be done.

56 On Seeing Simple Truths - On Appreciating the Wonder of it All


On Seeing Simple Truths - On Appreciating the Wonder of it All


EXPERIENCE has taught us that we really have everything we need in order to do for ourselves whatever we need to do so we can get on with this journey called life. 
This is true for everyone.  There are no exceptions to this rule even though there may seem, at times, to be overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
There usually is some confusion over the difference between what our minds want to believe, and what we need to do in order to get on with what must be done. 
Life is What Happens to us While We are Busy doing Something Else.
In fact, if we stop and really look at what we are experiencing, we will notice that we are being provided with what we need.

There Are No Accidents
Or
Mistakes In God’s World.
Everything Is Exactly The Way It Is Supposed To Be.
My Problem Is That Most Of It Does Not Agree With Me. 
But Who Said It Was Supposed To…
Besides Me!

55 On Seeing Simple Truths - Into Blind Spots




EXPERIENCE has taught us that the very nature of the recovery process is to get to a place where things are seen and experienced differently.  A place where we can allow Spirit to become a willing part of our internal process of integration and healing. 
The very definition of therapy is to make the unknown known, thus returning choice to the individual.
A Course in Miracles[1] defines a miracle as something that releases the past in the present and gives us back our future. 
Within the therapeutic context this “miraculous” definition of healing is also the working definition of grief.



Every Problem Is A Spiritual Problem
And
Every Solution Is A Spiritual Solution.
