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.

54 On Seeing Simple Truths - Into Blind Spots

 

EXPERIENCE has taught us that the comprehension of the ins and outs of the recovery process is derived from the premise of hidden demons running the show.  Any or all hope of change and/or recovery is lost on an unhealthy dependence upon what we know. 

Know this:  Recovery is subjective, not objective. 

It is the appreciation of the experience, not the knowledge of what the experience was, or is, or is supposed to be. 

Wisdom arises out of an experience with, not the spectator’s understanding of, the experience.  The understanding of an experience can flow naturally from the experience of with.  There is a natural order to this, and the secret is being a participant rather than a spectator.

If we cannot see into our own blind spots, it follows that we cannot see the real monsters that control our lives.  

In healing and recovery, we cannot see while we are busy sitting on our backsides.  Only by becoming pro-active in our own processes do we get to see into our blind spots.

Statement Of Truth:

I Can’t Make Things Different By

Keeping Them The Same.
