Light & Love November 2022
I am never left to myself when I am striving to be spiritually fit. I know at this point in my life...age 80 with 40+ years of sobriety that there is only one dance worth dancing...the God and man dance...seeking God in the dust with a bottle in my hand desperately trying to find peace of mind...peace of soul...bottoming out in 'tragic expression of unmet needs' (NVC) only to find Great Mystery Power at the end of a deep darkness of dancing with self and ego.
There is only Light and Love! There is no rewarding/punishing God. I don't have to be terrorized by followers of half ass uninvestigated truth...based on unworkable old traditional stale outdated systems of religion...I only have to stay open and curious to the constantly new revelations that Great Mystery gifts to IT'S seekers...That would be me curious and always seeking better steps to that Dance between God and mankind.
The great altruistic AA/NA movement saved my life. The latest progressive revelation found in the Bahai peace path keeps me open to the newest God Dance. I am now allowed to drop all fear of the unknown to continue to investigate truth based on science and spiritual practice. Having (so far) survived Covid the world wide bottoming out time...that is what it was/is...forcing resistant stubborn ego centric humans to STOP...just stop...reflect on what is important...what is valuable...what is relevant...find Light & Love...be aware of the dark nature within us all...
There is only Light and Love...darkness is the absence of Light. I remain diligent and respectful of my darker nature whose job is to dim my Light (Spirit). I stay in prayer, meditation and service...the stuff I learned 40+ years ago to keep the Lights on...to allow my Soul to progress on its way to Great Mystery (God). I am grateful and blessed...so blessed!
