Steps on our Road to Recovery

Daily Steps On Our Road to Recovery for 8 to 12 November 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.

Job

I now have two beautiful daughters. I know a lot about

Job's story. Once upon a time my fears came upon me.

Like with Job, it was a good thing, in the long run. It was

difficult at first, when my friends and family did not understand,

like Job's friends and family did not understand. It was less

difficult, when someone came along that did understand. Like

Job, they had been through some of their fears and found

some of God and the love of God. I too have now found

some of God and the love of God. But since God and his

loves are infinite, there is a lot more to find. Perhaps you

can find more and tell me about it.

Dying

From the day we are born on the physical level, we are

beginning to die. From the day we are born on the spiritual level,

we are beginning to live. That is why JC said we need to be born

first of water, that is our physical birth, and then born again, that

is our spiritual birth. Then we are becoming deathless. One way

to become deathless is to face our death(s). One of these deaths

is the death of our ego. That is Edging God Out, EGO. That

definition suggest a cure, Edging God In, EGI. All we need is a

little willingness to let god in to become a EGI. Any time the finite

is multiplied by the infinite, it becomes part of the infinite. Anything

times infinity is infinity, ask any mathematician or scientist or engineer.

Moving On

We are in the process of moving to a new home where we

fit better and are closer to our grandchildren. Moving on is a

time that gives us the opportunity to let loose of some old stuff.

Moving on is a time that gives us the opportunity of getting more

of what we really want. We can move on in our mind at any time.

We can decide to let loose of some old stuff. We can decide to

get more of what we really want. Who knows, then we may be

moving on in our physical world.

Where From to Where?

We will have lived in our home for 30 years this year. We

have listed our home with Long and Foster here in Upper Marlboro

Maryland in our community named Marlton. This is our home that

I awakened in and went through many of my recovery experiences in.

Our address is 9101 Fairhaven Avenue. It used to be Grandhaven

Avenue until some fire trucks got lost finding another part of Grandhaven.

I always liked FairHaven. Who knows what Marlboro and Marlton mean?

We are moving on to be closer to our grandchildren and their

families and to a home that better fits our needs and what we want.

We are buying a new home in North Crossing in . I know

Fred mean Chief. Our new address will be .

Timber Grove reminds me of forests and Foresters, that is Foster.

Our Wounds

What is the nature of our wounds that we are recovering from?

We are disassociated from God. How can we be reassociated with

God? Many ways, including letting God and letting God do all the

work.

Dr. McKenzie describes the illness of schizophrenia as the

confusion from having the mind of a child in the mind of an adult.

We all have a degree of that. David Grove describes our fundamental

problems as having some of our subpersonalities stuck in time at an

earlier age. JC said that we need to have the mind of a young child

to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Putting these together can have a great

amount to contribute to our understanding of our recovery processes.

Next week we could begin to explore how these parts fit together.

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.
