How can we think of pain in a positive way?

One way, is to realize that pain can signify either healing and or growth.

We may have asked for healing and or growing. And, here we are with

growing and or healing pains. Here we are, with the process to get what

we asked for. Here we are with another opportunity to be grateful for

getting what we asked for in the first place.

When it is said, to be careful for what we ask for, it can mean that we

may go through things, that we do not want, to get what we asked for, in

the first place. So, we need to go through the price of admission, to get

to what we really want and wanted.

What does wealth have to do with recovery?

There are two kinds of wealth, spiritual wealth and physical wealth.

Spiritual wealth is something that we learn how to realize, because we

already have that. Physical wealth is something we learn how to give

and receive, as just another of the many spiritual lessons. We can have

spiritual wealth, without and with, physical wealth. With is preferable,

but not a requirement.

We can recover our spiritual wealth by many of the techniques

that I am writhing about here. We can recover from physical poverty

by some of the techniques I have written about. I am just adding a focus

on physical wealth recovery starting here and here and here and here. We

do not need prosperity for happiness and peace and wisdom, but prosperity

can make these better. Prosperity can also make our need for happiness

and peace and wisdom more acute, because then we start to ask our deeper

questions.

Who needs to be the Master and who needs to be the Slave?

In a computer, one drive on a controller must be the Master and

one must be the Slave for the System to work. Life is also like that.

In the same computer, person, there needs to be a master controller

and followers. This becomes more obvious in multiple personality cases.

The same body can be led by different personalities at different times

with completely different results. That is where that person has become

slave to their personalities. That is where they need to surrender all

their personalities, to their spirit beyond personalities. We all have that

same lord most high within to surrender our personalities to. That is

the only way our personalities can really do their real functions. Not

that they are not doing the unreal functions of other personalities when

they think they are doing their own functions. They are just Slaves thinking

they are Masters. This is one way to express what we are recovering from.

What is the value of not always acting nice?

The first thing is to realize that acting nice all the time, is acting. When

we fool ourselves by our acting, we then think that there is nothing left

to recovery from. So, that tells us that we have some more letting go

of our opinions, and letting God's views become more clear. That also

tells us that there are things and people that we do not like to be around.

We may not like to be around these things and people, but they are the

perfect ones to perfect us. They are the triggers for issues in us, so that

we can see the issues in us. How else would we know what to forgive?

How else would we know what to affirm?

28 January 1999

What is the value of anger?

Energy. We trigger our energy. We get to decide what we want to

do with our energy. We may have triggered our energy from something

that we did not like. That does not mean that we have to attack what

we did not like. We can use the same energy to love what we did not

like. Even when we attack what we did not like, we can learn how to

use that energy to love after we settle down.

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.
