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.

Growing Up

When we are wounded, parts of us may be stuck at the time we

were wounded. Our growing up, is facilitated by getting unstuck. That

is why you see an emphasis on forgiving, here. All of the techniques

here are about getting unstuck and letting Go and letting God. That

is why we also have an emphasis here on growing up.

There is a paradox in growing up in that we also get to experience

our younger mind states, from the perspectives of a more mature mind.

That is what the mind of Christ is about. Growing ever more mature

with our access to God that we had as a baby and child. The difference

is that we have a grown up mind, to contain our earlier states. Then we

are returning to God as a more mature child of His. Then we are grateful

for our returning. Remember the story of the Prodigal Son.

Cleaning Up

It is always a good thing to clean up. Not as a have to do, but as

a joyful thing to do, some of our time. One way to do this is to act

as if we are moving in a few months. That way it is easier to prioritize

what to clean up and what to throw away and what to give away and

what to sell.

This is another way also gets us in touch with the impermanence

of things and the permanence of our spirit.

Our Spirit

JC said in essence that spirit is like the wind, we can see the

results of the wind when it rustles the leaves of a tree. We can

feel the results of spirit when it rustles our leaves and we feel

our thrills. We can feel the results of spirit when it is healing us

and we feel our pain. We can feel the results of spirit when we

think something and feel our resulting emotions. That is why

our feelings are a royal road back to communion with our

spirit.

Our Atonement

Here is a mathematical formula to consider.

Nothing = Anything / Infinity = None

Anything we do is reduced to Nothing when it is divided

by the atonement of Infinity. The catch is that in accepting

our atonement, we need to be willing to give the same

atonement to everyone else.

Inspiration

Inspiration, "In spir ation", inside spiraling action,

that is what inspiration is. That is what comes from our

lord most high within. Our inspiration may be triggered

by what is happening on the outside, but is always

comes from our insides. Our inspiration is our answer

to the questions we have asked our lord most high

within. So asking good questions is indeed a skill

to be prized along with the inspiration that comes.

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.
