2021, the freedom year, surrender past, fear, wanting, judgments, complaint. Let's Be Free!

Описание: Why are we here? Who are we? What is next?
These questions seem important, Yet, are they?
Isn't all my trouble from the mind?
The mind, trying to make sense of Life. Assessing value to events to the passage of time.
What if we could for a moment know the mind of God, the mind of Love, the mind of eternity?
We would need to surrender all thoughts on a personal level and realize who we are in this moment.
Freedom from need, fear, wanting.
Is this possible? Are you willing?
Let's play in this arena now.
Let's be Free!

Humbled by the ocean.
Does the wave think he is a wave or does he realize that he is the ocean?
Are we separate from Life or are we life?
The allusion that we are separate from this moment must be surrendered, peace comes only in this moment.
The idea of me is always in the past, from a story of me or a belief about me, or in the future picture of the imagination of me.
The belief in the story of me casts me into a mission to fix me or make a better me. Reading self-help books and going to personal growth groups or spiritual development seminars.
These pursuits did help in the end to exhaust any possibility of finding true peace in this realm, the realm of the personal.
Only in the now, the moment through surrender did quiet come.
Who have we been and who are we now?
We have been a person, living in a world of right and wrong, good and bad.
A world of judgment and complaint. Always trying to understand and making meaning of life's events. Never completely satisfied, always looking for more, and afraid of losing what we have. And pretending that we are happy and complete, wearing the mask of I'm ok. That is the world of the mind, of the ego.
There is a possibility to live in our full potential, free of fear, free of personal judgment.
One of the paths to self-realization to awakening is the 12 steps

We have included a 10-minute Meditation.
Also can be called a Guided Meditation


An excerpt from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous Page 62

" Selfishness--self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles.
Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity,
we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate. Sometimes they hurt us, seemingly without provocation, but we invariably find that in some time in the past we have made decisions based on self which later placed us in a position to be hurt.
So our troubles we think are basically of our own making. They arise out of ourselves and the alcoholic is an extreme example of self-will run riot, though he usually doesn't think so. Above everything, we alcoholics must be rid of this selfishness. We must, or it kills us! God makes that possible.
And there often seems no way of getting rid of self without His aid. Many of us had moral and philosophical convictions galore, but we could not live up to them though we would have liked to. Neither could we reduce our self-centeredness much by wishing or trying on our own power. We had to have God's Help."

Thought for the Day

I shall be loyal in my attendance, generous in my giving, kind in my criticism, creative in my suggestions, loving in my attitudes. I shall give A.A. my interest, my enthusiasm, my devotion, and most of all, myself. The Lord's Prayer has become part of my A.A. thoughts for each day: "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not to temptation, but deliver us from evil." Have I given myself?

Meditation for the Day

As we look back over the year just gone, it has been a good year to the extent that we have put good thoughts, good words, and good deeds into it. None of what we have thought, said, or done need be wasted. Both the good and the bad experiences can be profited by. In a sense, the past is not entirely gone. The result of it, for good or evil, is with us at the present moment. We can only learn by experience and none of our experience is completely wasted. We can humbly thank God for the good things of the year that has gone.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may carry good things into the year ahead. I pray that I may carry on with faith, with prayer, and with hope.
