Daily Steps On Our Road to Recovery for 18 to 22 October 1999.

Published Last Week. A daily hint published each day since June 1996. This is past my third year anniversary since starting my web pages. Page Down for the next days that are added a day at a time. I have moved to http://www.recoverybydiscovery.com and this daily page is now here at daily.htm . I would appreciate any feedback, questions and suggestions that you have.

Harvesting

There is a new free Internet program to organize your

internet and other computer files. I have found it to be quite

powerful and the best idea I have seen so far. It works with

Internet Explorer 4.0 and up. I can use all the help I can get

with organizing!

Their concept is to see what your interests are and to sell

more of that to you. Actually, following your interests is to

your spiritual advantage. In fact, over following your interest

get us through them faster. Then we can find more of what we

really want!

BONUS:

The Internet is an metaphor for the changes happening.

You may have noticed that there is more free stuff all the

time. Of course with the free services comes the opportunity

to buy what you are interested in. Just like here, where you

can freely take the information I provide and use it to your

advantage. In fact, I want you to do that since we all get a

better world that way. But, when you are stuck and need

some temporary coaching to get free, call me.

Speaking of calling me, I have a new local number to

leave voice mail at or to send me a fax at:

(202) 777-2641,,6027.

The ,,'s are for pauses to go to extension 6027 when you send

me a fax. This service is provided free by OneBox.com. They

limit their storage to a reasonable 3Megs, but you do not even

have to use that space, you can use your present e-mail service

and space at your present Internet Service Provider.

I am revising this service on my free stuff page.

Dreams

When we dream at night, our facets that we suppress

during our day can come out and play. They can tell us more

about ourselves. They can act out the many facets of us that

we are not familiar with, yet. They can be dramatic, since no

permanent harm is done by taking things to the extreme. Our

dreams are of a non permanent nature.

When we are in our dream of the day, God can continue

communing with us. Our lives have themes. Our lives have

much information coming to us all the time. The more aware

we become the more we can see, hear and feel. The more

we can see, hear and feel, the more we can learn. The more

we learn, the more we find how we have always been supported

no matter how poor our decisions are.

Life Cycles

A Jungarian was teaching about our life cycles from his

perspective. It was really very simple. The first half of our

ideal life cycle was to be spent in differentiation, and the

second half in integration. It is all about who we really are.

Differentiation is where we get to know our uniqueness

and our subpersonalities. Our subpersonalities come out

under the different circumstances of life. Like, we may be

different in busy traffic than we are with our children.

Integration is where we get to integrate our subpersonalities

and to discover our commonalities with all of us. To successfully

integrate our subpersonalities, we need to learn how to love

unconditionally. When we love our children unconditionally

they grow and transform into something new. The same can

happen to us and our subpersonalities.

Even when we are not able to love unconditionally, God

still loves us that way. So, we can grow and transform by

just letting go and letting God.

Our Shadow

One way to get a peek at our shadow is by using the

Myers Briggs system of personality types. This is another

gift that stands on the shoulders of original work of Jung.

We can find our personality type preference from a book

like "Please Understand Me". Then we can look up the

opposite type. For instance, if our preference is an ISTJ

[Introvert, Sensor, Thinker, Judger] our opposite is an

ENFP [Extrovert, iNtuitive, Feeling, Perceiver]. As a

footnote, I like to use "Decider" for "Judger" as a less

judgmental term. We may find ourselves attracted to this

opposite personality. This is because there is some gold

in our shadow. In fact, our personalities and our shadow

personalities can be transformed into our treasure. That is

what all the techniques here are about.

Beauty re done Dec 2001.

On way to get a peek at our inner beauty, is to see all

that is beautiful without us. There we may see many things

and people that are beautiful to us. There we may hear

many things that are beautiful to us. There we may read

many things that are beautiful to us. We may feel beautiful

feelings as we see beauty.

Why are all these things beautiful to us? Because they

resonate with the beauty that is in us.

Very Respectfully,

I started my daily page, because it is useful for me to look for some recovery tip or secret each day for my spiritual growth. we and I only need one secret to work on and let it work on me each day. They are secrets because they are usually the opposite of what the majority of society teaches. They must be secret because they are not commonly used. A friend of mine once said "Common Sense is not much in Common.". Now that I have grandchildren I am also writing for them. I would have really liked for my grandparents to have passed on what they learned.

I am including Sunday as it is my formal day of learning the lord most high's secrets. If you would like ask questions, or contribute some of your wisdom, or want to make some comments or want to vote for which day to put on my tip of the month page or tell your success stories, click Michael Foster, M.
