If tears have been flowing more than usual lately, then know that you're closer than usual, closer than you used to be , closer to your breakthrough. Those tears that fall are watering your harvest, a heavy one. The tears must be. They must fall. But if you can feel the Sun at the same time, if you can still know It's (t)here, if you can still feel (t)His love, you'll soon see It is GoOD, all of It. And you will smile, Now. I Love you, Nik Today's Quotes: *"You will soon see that it was good. The pain that led you to the promise. The tears that brought you to his feet. You'll see that the father had a purpose, and every broken road was leading to your destiny. - @Hopeforthehopeless_ via IG "Coming to trust and surrender to our Higher Power is the work of a lifetime. Just begin. And each day commit to beginning again." -Richard Rohr "She started the year with a simple prayer, "Lord, lead the way. - @joenasandiego via IG "Trust. Wait. Believe." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Say not ye, ‘There are yet four months and then cometh the harvest'?

A SAFETY NET - From the Daily Reflections entry for November 18, 2023. “Occasionally. . . . We are seized with a rebellion so sickening that we simply won't pray. When these things happen we should not think too ill of ourselves. We should simply resume prayer as soon as we can, doing what we know to be good for us.” TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 105 Sometimes I scream, stomp my feet, and turn my back on my Higher Power. Then my disease tells me that I am a failure, and that if I stay angry I'll surely get drunk. In those moments of self-will it's as if I've slipped over a cliff and am hanging by one hand. The above passage is my safety net, in that it urges me to try some new behavior, such as being kind and patient with myself. It assures me that my Higher Power will wait until I am willing once again to risk letting go, to land in the net, and to pray.

In this podcast... we confront and smash the following myth:Myth: The Twelve Steps are all about God.Although the word "God" actually shows up in the Twelve Steps themselves four times and twice more by referring to "him", AA principles nonetheless allow for a very broad conception of the "God" idea.At the very beginnings of AA, the co-founder, Bill Wilson, resisted the very idea of any god. His friend smashed Bill's resistance when he asked: "Why don't you choose your own conception of God"? This was an idea that invited anyone to join the fellowship.There are countless references to a ‘Higher Power' throughout AA writings. It states in the Second Step, for example, that a "power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity".The AA program allows anyone to define a power greater than ourselves any way we wish; it does not make an exclusive claim to the truth, nor does it claim that AA is the only way to stay sober.The God idea is often a barrier to people joining AA, even when they would benefit from doing so. The truth is that alcoholics and addicts have an intense fear of giving up control, even when they have no control over the disease themselves.
Welcome to a transformative episode of Your Weekly Dose of Higher Consciousness Podcast. Today, we are diving deep into an often-misunderstood realm of human experience - intimacy. More specifically, we're addressing the fear of intimacy that holds many of us back from truly connecting with others.In this episode, titled "Conquering the Fear of Intimacy: Choosing the Higher Power & Friend That It Is," we explore how fear of intimacy manifests in our lives, its impact on our relationships, and most importantly, how we can overcome it. We delve into the root causes behind a lifetime of cringing, fearing, and rejecting intimacy, drawing on personal experiences and insights.We challenge you to consider the true nature of intimacy, not just in the context of romantic or sexual relationships, but in all forms of human connection. We discuss how embracing intimacy can serve as an ally in consciousness, helping us form more meaningful connections and live more authentically.Throughout this episode, we reference the song "Higher Love" by Steve Winwood, whose lyrics beautifully encapsulate our discussion's theme. The song reminds us of the power and truth held within intimacy, which according to ConsciousnessCalibrations.com, calibrates at a significant 470 on Dr. Hawkins Map of Consciousness.As we navigate the vast 'swimming pool' of consciousness, we share other concepts that resonate with this energy field of 470, guiding you towards choosing intimacy as a high-level, courageous, intelligent, and rational choice. We provide practical tips and tools, including The Emotion Code, The Body Code, and The Belief Code, to help you break down the walls that block intimacy and embrace vulnerability.This episode is more than just a conversation; it's an invitation to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. By understanding and overcoming the fear of intimacy, we can foster deeper connections, experience authentic love, and ultimately elevate our consciousness.So, if you're ready to dive into this pool of excellence and mastery, join us in this episode. And remember, conquering the fear of intimacy isn't about rushing; it's about slowly chipping away at your barriers, one step at a time, at a pace that feels right for you.Whether you're a seasoned spiritual seeker or just starting your journeyDiscover This Week's FREE Online Events 11/11-17th:Awaken the Wild Queen WithinClearing Trauma Through BioDynamic BreathworkPut More Ease in Your Exercise With 5-Dimensional FlowList of Rules to Live By Embrace Empowered Living: Design Your Personal Code for Success, Happiness, and Inner HarmonyDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

He was once described by his coach as “the single most devastating force in the history of the game.” He took part in the 1963 March on Washington and was seated in the front row for Martin Luther King Jr's “I Have a Dream” speech. In 2011, President Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He was remembered for his ability to enhance the talents of his Boston Celtics teammates even as he dominated the action, and to do it without bravado.

Questions about what to say to a Christian who doesn't think it matters which higher power a person believes in, how to help friends see they're attending an unhelpful or heretical church, whether it's wrong to wish a dead loved one happy birthday, and when to leave a parachurch organization over theological differences. What should I say to a “lukewarm” Christian who says people need to believe in a higher power “even if it's Buddha or something”? How do I help a Christian friend see that the church she's attending is actually hindering her rather than helping? What would be a tactical approach to helping friends and family members realize they're attending a church of a false teacher/heretic? Are Christians crossing a line into talking to the dead when they wish a happy heavenly birthday to their dead loved ones? How do I know when it's time to leave a parachurch organization with which I disagree theologically?

From the Daily Reflection on October 17: A Daily Tune Up - “Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God's will into all of our activities.” ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 85 How do I maintain my spiritual condition? For me it's quite simple: on a daily basis I ask my Higher Power to grant me the gift of sobriety for that day! I have talked to many alcoholics who have gone back to drinking and I always ask them: "Did you pray for sobriety the day you took your first drink?" Not one of them said yes. As I practice Step Ten and try to keep my house in order on a daily basis, I have the knowledge that if I ask for a daily reprieve, it will be granted. So let's talk about step 11, about maintaining our spiritual condition, and about staying in touch and in tune with our Higher Power each and every day.
