looking for God

Posted: Wed, Jul 7, 2004 04:48:22 AM

an interesting thought --
if i look for God in others i will more readily see God in myself.
i usually do not have any problem seeing evidence of God in othres it is myself that seems to be lacking
i feel that sonmetimes i am no more spiritual than the day i first came to the program
i am still riddled with fear, self-doubt and self-defeating attitudes
i still procrastinate and find things to do to fill that God shaped hole within
i also recognize these attitudes for what they are -- A LIE
i am better off today than i was yesterday, a year ago or when i walked in.
if i begin to believe the lies i tell myself, i will return to that miserable existence i used to be so fond of
so just for today i will seek the God in others, so i can better see the God in me

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

1) The things which from of old have got the One (the Tao) are--

Heaven which by it is bright and pure;
Earth rendered thereby firm and sure;
Spirits with powers by it supplied;
Valleys kept full throughout their void
All creatures which through it do live
Princes and kings who from it get
The model which to all they give. All these are the results of the
One (Tao).
