โ†” understanding my daily sprirtual experience โ†”

Posted: Thu, May 12, 2005 05:42:18 AM

well lately i have been dancing around an issue in my spiritual growth. although i still feel that this is not the forum to share it in yet, i can say that finally i see my insanity for what it is, and i am amazed that i have been able to go on with life as well as i have. that is not to say that everything is just fine and dandy, but things are better today and i can recognize how this particular version of insanity is affecting my behavior and my relationships with those i love, my employer, my friends and those whom i have come to trust in the fellowship.
WOW, what a load of shit!
fear, uncertainty, and doubt have left me riddled with bullet holes, allowing my spiritual being to gush out of a hundred different orifices.
the good news?? i did not have to use, i have kept going to meetings, i have continued my daily program of maintenance and i am still willing to look at my spiritual experience and ask someone who may have another angle to help sort my way through it and find a bit of the balance i have been lacking lately.
and that is the result of my meditation this morning, i may be in a spot, but i do not have to remain there. i can and will recover, if i once again surrender to the disease of addiction and set the spiritual side of myself free once more.

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 1

1) There was something undefined and complete, coming into existence
before Heaven and Earth. How still it was and formless, standing alone,
and undergoing no change, reaching everywhere and in no danger (of
being exhausted)! It may be regarded as the Mother of all things.
