Continued.... What is Addiction.
Chapter Twenty
What is Addiction.
I have met people with cancer.
They had to get to the point of surrendering that they have no control and they accepted what they have. They went and did what they needed to do to be healthy. Some have even gotten to the point where the cancer had left the body because of their belief, faith and trust, in their higher power, surrendering their life and will to that higher power. Some have not and some have died of cancer. Also I believe we have a time when we do pass on and die. So it shows me I am not in charge even when I am thinking I am centered with the Spirit. I have no control as the human. At the end of this book I talk about how I have Lupus I have come to the point now that this experience I have is all in God’s hands.
I believe I am whole and pure love. I am healthy and complete. I give this physical condition to God and so it is.
This way it keeps me positive and we all have are life experiences to deal with. If God and I work together miracles can happen but it is all in time and what our experience in life is supposed to be. This is how I feel about this experience I am living today.
We are more than our addictions, we are more than our illnesses, we are more than our thinking, and we are more than our money. We are more, way more.
We are children of God. When we surrender and let our thinking and our old behaviors go, and take a new path, take on a new way of thinking, living life then our experiences in life become fuller, deeper, and more exciting.
Trust in God and don’t take yourself so seriously, be easy on yourself, love yourself, and you can have a great life.
This journey in life is full of remembering what we are and letting go of what we are not. Some of us turn to alcohol, drugs, or sex when we are full of confusion and do not know who we are. Some people turn to addictive exercise, some turn to an obsession for health foods; I believe it is because we human beings are dis-at-ease in our lives. We may not like who we are so we use other distractions so we do not have to be in reality and deal with ourselves. But when we surrender, we get into reality. It is like peeling an onion getting to the core of the problem the core of the being. We can get help, and then we can deal with and enjoy life. I believe we need a balance in our lives because we are human; we have to remember that balance.
We were born with all the knowing and we tend to become distracted by society, family, and schools. We were being told, “We can’t do this or that, or we’re told we are smart but not like him or her.” We get used to being compared and being told, “No, but yes, you can, but.” All the but’s and no’s we hear in life turn into habits for some of us, we need to change that. Say, “Yes, instead of no.” Say, “I can, instead of but.” I can go on with all the negative things that I have in my head. What we need to do is go within and remember. Then be at ease and peace. We do not have to be dis-at-ease with life we can be at-ease, enjoy life.
We all have positive energy let’s make use of the positive energy we have in each of us. God gave us that energy let’s not waste it. I believe if we use positive energy, we would love one another not attack each other. In relationships, if we use our positive loving energy, we would be naked with each other, meaning we would be open, completely honest with each other. We would have the knowingness on how to love each other and have spaces in our togetherness. We would not need to suffocate each other with love. We would not need to be jealous. We would be able to trust, share with each other and be at peace with each other. Relationships are a gift from God. God knows what we need to establish a good relationship. If we go within and remember, be aware of the love in our lives, we can tell what needs to be done. Having people in our lives helps. I believe relationships are important not just man, woman relationships; we have all kinds of relationships in life. Family relationships, friends, business relationships. We need to give and take in all relationships, using our positive God given energy can help us in all the relationships in our lives.
Balance in life is letting the Spirit in and work through you. If we live just as the human self, then there is no balance. When we let the Spirit of God direct us then there is some balance. Balance is the key to a peaceful life and God the Spirit; has the key. So let the God in you give you the key to life. I am so grateful for all of this and I thank you all for being here reading. This realization I am experiencing at this very moment, this is all God not me. I think sometimes what is this? How can this happen? I get this feeling and I know it is not me the human, it is I am the Spirit. I easily forget in my humanness and need to remember. That is why I say I am grateful for you because people can help me remember what I already know. What I was born with, what you all were born with. We can help each other remember who we truly are, the child of God that we are.
That is why I need you. I need people in my life. As long as I am in this body I need your love and voices to let me know who I truly am that child of God. What a gift we all have!
Think about it, a gift to wake up every day and have the love of God within us. I love to think about it and now that I am experiencing it every so often through the day. I am so grateful. I have gone through life so blind for so many years and the last few years have been such an awakening for me. Like I have a new pair of glasses to see through. I want to share with the world the joy I am feeling but I cannot.
Only you know when you experience and remember the true you. Some people have, some people may think they have not, because they have their eyes closed. I believe we all have felt this; just some of us choose not to feel it. I was blind to it for years now it is as if someone turned the lights on in my life. I thank God.
Think of a dark tunnel, you are walking through this tunnel, you keep walking and walking, you see nothing, you keep walking, then you fall down and you still see nothing. Then you get up and start walking and fall down and get back up then you decide to yell for help. You want out of this tunnel. Nothing happens you keep walking then you yell again, “Help! Please help me!” God says, “Keep walking and this time open your eyes,” you say “What? I have my eyes open.” God says no, “Open your eyes, open all your senses”, then all of a sudden you realize you are not in a tunnel and you can smell and see the beauty and the light. That is how I have felt for so many years. I was walking with my eyes and all my senses closed. Now I have them open to the Spirit and now I can see.
Thank you God.
