Problems Are Gifts of Spiritual Enlightenment -- Daily Inspirations


There is no such thing as a problem
without a gift in its hands.
Richard Bach

My brain has two basic categories of life events: what it wants, and problems. It is programmed genetically, socially, and emotionally to avoid problems, and to pursue what it “wants” – to control outcomes. The “belief” seems to be that if everything in my life went as my brain “wanted”, we would be happy and ok.

Fortunately that is not true. If everything and everyone’s being the way I wanted was the meaning and answer to life, I would be severely short changed – and hopelessly lost.

In my experience, I don’t really know what I want – because I can get people and circumstances to be my way, and still be miserable. There is something else – there are “more” – and not more desirable outcomes.

Problems, to me, are reminders that I don’t have what I “want” – and problems are directions toward finding what I am really looking for. They remind me when I am not happy, so I can seek change. And they remind me which path to stay on toward spiritual enlightenment.

My only real problem in life is separation from my God’s higher Presence. When we get separated from each other, I begin to fear, and hurt, and fight what is.

Problems are problems because they bring my pain and fear into conscious experience. Problems are gifts of life – solutions – because they remind me to reconnect and stay connected to my God, to others, and to myself – to find the hope, love, and joy of spiritual enlightenment in conscious Presence.

We need to have “problems” today – undesirable and uncontrollable life events – so we can receive the spiritual healing gifts of spiritual enlightenment, and loving Presence.

Embrace the undesirable. Treat them with daily inspirations and life’s precious moments. They will bring us to spiritual enlightenment -- back to our precious selves.




Comments from Facebook:

Lesa : The times in my life that things have been "my way",I have been happy. The happiness wasn't in having what I thought I wanted but in feeling God cared enough about me to make me happy. Proof a higher power was there and active in my life. Were my desires actually God's will and so I was satisfied and happy when they manifested? I believe so. …Just thinking aloud...

Will: For me, the closest to happiness that "my way" has produced was distraction -- a loss of conscious contact with myself through mental thinking or obsessing about outcomes .... which my brain interprets as "happy"-producing because happiness is perceived as the absence of and relief from pain ..... ultimately it wears off, or I build a tolerance, ... See Moreand I am off in search of more outcomes -- like an addict or alcoholic would be off looking for more "stuff" to consume ..... For me, the conscious experience that my God cares for me has to be disconnected from outcomes .... material outcomes are my mood altering drugs and not expressions of their love and care..... Presence -- a conscious intimate connection beyond words --- although frequently present within the words of others ...... experience vs content .... "Proof" for our brains requires something that can be measured and perceived intellectually in units of perception ...... The proof of my God, for me, "passes all understanding" ..... and is very confusing to my brain .... the "standards of measurement" for spiritual Presence transcends the digital intelligence of my brain .... the whole becomes more than the sum of its parts...... it must be restored to a spiritual sanity that They alone can give…. They teach my brain to participate in the experience, and stop losing itself in thought …..

Poem: "Re-emerging Selves" -- Finding Daily Inspirations



My silence pounds walls of repetitive wordings,
living encapsulating in blocks of sound,
flashes of remembering
the unforgotten swirls of past moments –
events and experiences in the “Now”
of my human beingness.
Every object, event, coated
in emotional energy and glistening
with presence and absence – won and lost.
My mind has fashioned,
constructed…
reconstructed…
demolished….
and reconstructed…
so many selves of experience…
into narrow streams of solidified thought….
Dammed by survival…
resisting possible fluidity…
walls of blindness created in desperate silence…
I am….
We are…..
Reemerging…..
from desolation and destruction…..
looking … for what is still hidden…
so deep….
in the presents of the past.
From my Journal: March 5, 2008

Valley of Deadened Selves: Daily Inspiration Poem





My mind drapes sadly over the fallen corpses --
selves fallen in the service of guarding, protecting the “me”.
I am buried beneath growing swells of rushing raging e-motions
pounding the beaches of my consciousness and thoughts
Reminding, remembering, forgetting yet again.
Protected– a light that rests casually on the edge of my mind
an unravelling of what was never together
exposing the inner wreckage and carnage of my past and dying selves.
I can’t remember where I am – who I was –
another world seems impinging from somewhere
beyond what is for me –
I am present, fallen, and streaming – in realest time –
as light continues to rise – burning alive motions,
somehow, in this dead and dying selves –
as Presence beginning to gently glow and flow within deadened lifeless
veins – and life, a love, sensations of beingness,
Presence begins to beat
where darkened hearts had stopped before.
My valley of deadened selves, touched – restoring -- yet unknown appearing Self – enlightened shadows of what may yet to come.

Spiritual Life Maintenance through Surrender


There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening, we shall hear the right word. Certainly there is a right for you that needs no choice on your part. Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which flows into your life. Then, without effort, you are impelled to truth and to perfect contentment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Spiritual Healing and the Fourth Step -- Doing a Spiritual History




The Courage to Change May 4th
Recovery is a wonderful word. It means getting something back. Today I will try to remember that that something is me.

If a man happens to find himself ....he has a mansion which he can inhabit with dignity all the days of his life.
James Michener

Isn’t it exasperating to go to the grocery for an item, only to find the shelf empty? Fortunately grocers can correct that situation by taking inventory to learn which shelves need replenishment.
The Courage to Change.

We all wish good things to happen to us, but we cannot just pray and then sit down and expect miracles to happen. We must back up our prayers with action.
Freedom from Despair

Before sunlight can shine through a window, the blinds must be raised.
American Proverb

All progress must grow from a seed of self-appreciation...
The Dilemma of the Alcoholic Marriage

As I worked my way through Step Four, I listed my character traits as honestly as I could. I was struck by a great irony: Many things I had once thought of as virtues – taking care of everyone around me, worrying about other people’s lives sacrificing my own happiness and prosperity – turned out to be the causes of my misery.
The Courage of To Change November 28th

The Myth of Santa God -- Twelve Steps and Daily Inspirations




Bill W. from Alcoholics Anonymous
Some of us have been violently anti-religious. To others, the word “God” brought up a particular idea of Him with which someone had tried to impress them during childhood...
We looked upon this world of warring individuals, warring theological systems, and inexplicable calamity, with deep skepticism.


Today, I attended two spiritual support meetings for alcoholics – and I listened.

The first meeting discussed Step 2 of the Twelve Steps, and the word “God”. Step Two says, “We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.”

As I listened, I remembered as a child being taught to believe in Santa Claus – paralleled by being taught to believe in God. Santa rewarded good little boys and girls for good behavior all year long – “you reap what you sow.” Santa kept a list, and checked it twice, going to find out who has been naughty or nice – kind of like eventually everyone will stand before God at the white throne judgment to give an account of all their “sins”. And you write a letter to Santa telling him what you wanted – “if you ask anything in faith believing, God will give it to you.”

Interesting and amazing parallels of mythology.

Fortunately it only took nine or ten years to demythologize Santa. Unfortunately, it took another twenty five years, and major helpless and hopeless depression and alcoholism before I could demythologize “God”. Santa God was my last remaining hope that someday I would stop hurting – if I could just find out his “will” – rules and demands – and then I would choose to meet them. Without Santa God, I was not waiting a year to get what I “wanted” – but an eternity.

In my hopeless and helpless state of mind and heart, I was brought to a fork in the road of my life. I would continue my useless myth of “God”, or I would risk a different course and direction. I would have to consciously face my endless shame and dread of impending doom – the expectation of getting what I believed I deserved -- or trying again – over and over – to be “good enough”.

I realize now, over twenty years later, that the lie that kept the myth of God alive was the lie of “free will” Religion traditionally has needed a “hell”, and a punishment for ‘sin” in order to operate. And consequently, it has needed “free will” and choice to justify and defend its judgment and condemnation. If a person has no choice, he or she cannot technically be held responsible. (Actually, having no choice or free will does not take away consequences only “eternal damnation” and abandonment.)

The fork in the road was between continuing to believe the religious myth of God, and moving into intimate conscious Presence with a Higher Power or spirituality. The fork was Step One of the Twelve Steps:
"We admitted we were powerless – that our lives had become unmanageable."

In my experience, I “turned” when I experienced, admitted, and accepted that I was powerless over my perceptions, reactions, and actions – I do not have – alone – any will or power to choose my attitudes or behavior. I had to consciously experience my desperate and helpless hopelessness to change, and to be empowered to act in my own best interests. My conscious and willing experience of my wretched pain opened my heart, and with the help of others, I experienced an intimacy beyond mental thought and reasoning, that began changing my perceptions, reactions and actions. Bathed in Their intimate Presence, I began to heal. And my life began to become a better and better place.

Today, we (Mom, Dad and me) seem to be as intimate and close as my level of conscious experience of my powerlessness. The myths disappear – and in my heart I can be what is real – their unconditionally beloved son.

Bill W. from Alcoholics Anonymous.
Our human resources, as marshalled by the will, were not sufficient; they failed utterly.
Lack of power, that was our dilemma. We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves.....As we felt new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of mind, as we discovered we could face life successfully, as we became conscious of His Presence, we began to lose our fear of today, tomorrow, and the hereafter. We were REBORN.

Spiritual Awakening -- Listening to Daily Inspirations within Inspirational Life Quotes? Part I


God is presence, warm, all-enfolding, touching
The drab world into brilliance, lifting
The sad heart into song, indescribable, beyond
Understanding.

Yet by a bird’s note, a chord of music,
A light at sunset, a sudden movement of rapt insight,
A touch of love, making the whole universe
A safe home for the soul.
Anonymous (1st Century AD)

Let’s take some deep breaths and listen gently to the words of this inspirational life quote.

What do we hear? What appears on the conscious screens of our minds? What do we experience on the edges of our consciousness? When thought ends for a moment, where do we find ourselves? And where do we find ourselves when thought reemerges. Listen gently……………..

Stopping to listen. A sound ripples across my brain. A warm, somehow all encompassing energy – personal and unconditional – gently flows into my conscious feeling thoughts. A livingness emerges on the edges of what was and is – touchings of someone beyond me – comforting spiritual Presence.

My challenge -- my brain’s perceptions and reactions. I cannot see except what I am – and without Presence, all seems very drab and lifeless – bleak and desolate.

Silence. A sadness – many sadnesses – merging softly -- as warming Presence flows in growing brilliance – changing the beats of my heart into streams of lifting loving connecting experiences. Light and sound, breathing, beating heart, flowing Presence, wisps and mists of growing closeness – beyond my brain’s programming to understand, predict, or know.

Small sensory events – sounds, changes in motion and light, glances and brushes of affection and truth – emerging awareness of a place, within my heart, a home, a loved place, where higher Presence gives safety from the world’s dreaded and anticpated separation. Flowing energies of affections – coming into conscious view -- touch – Presence. What comes, what goes, what becomes – we can be -- in intimate Presence.

God is Presence.

Twelve Spiritual Principles of Daily Inspirations And Spiritual Enlightenment: Part Four -- Spiritual Therapy


The next two spiritual principles involve the beginning of spiritual therapy through spiritual enlightenment regarding our human illness. We must humanly experience ourselves with our higher Presence’s help, through the spiritual coaching of others and with the support of daily inspirations, in order to have our discomforts treated with spiritual therapy. As the wounded and diseased neural pathways of our brains begin to heal, a spiritual enlightenment – an inner light – begins to appear, and our perceptions and reactions respond to continuing spiritual therapy.

Life becomes a Better Place.

Fourth Spiritual Principle: We made a searching and fearless spiritual inventory of our humanness – past and present.

In this principle, we do the equivalent of a medical history that one would do with a doctor. For spiritual therapy to be maximally effective, we must understand and experience our humanness. In this process, daily inspirations and spiritual coaching is essential for thoroughness and for our protection from possible neural reactions.
1.We list the events and relationships in our lives where we felt abandoned.
2.We write down all injuries that we perceive we have experienced from others abandoning or abusing us.
3.We note the specifics of our resentments – the neural scab that the brain creates to protect us from emotional/neural injuries.
4.We list our fears – the expressions of our expectations of continuing separation from others, ourselves and our higher Presence.
5.We describe how our illness became expressed in our actions and words towards ourselves and others – our continuing symptoms.

Anger is how we fight our stored painful neural energies, and fear is how we take flight away from this neural consciousness.

When we are “finished”, we have begun having a conscious spiritual enlightenment that reveals how our humanness has been wounded, and how our injuries and our human illness have expressed themselves in our lives. Daily inspirations and spiritual coaching protects us through the process.

Fifth Spiritual Principle: We admitted to God and to ourselves through another human being the exact nature of our symptoms and disease.

With this spiritual principle, we disclose the details as accurately and consciously as possible – to God, and to ourselves through others in some form of spiritual coaching.

Our disease of humanness was caused by abandonment by others, resulting in separation within our brains from ourselves, others and our higher Presence. Spiritual therapy with daily inspirations begins with reconnecting with ourselves, and our higher Presence through another human being bringing intimate spiritual enlightenment.

Abandonment, and our belief in our responsibility for our relationship outcomes, creates wounds of unPresence, which can only be treated successfully by restoring Presence. This spiritual principle begins the process of spiritual therapy.

Daily Inspirations with spiritual coaching gives a comforting and guiding flow of Presence energy. Spiritual therapy restores us to a state of spiritual enlightenment where life can be lived as a Better Place by Higher Design.

Is Your Soul for Sale? Holiday Hazards and Daily Inspirations




This morning as I was journaling, I became aware of how I have been struggling with insecurities regarding my worth and value as a person in this material world -- especially during the Holidays. I realized that I have been struggling to find a human way to validate and certify myself as a person of value and purpose -- with fluctuating success.

Three years ago, I sold a business and ended up managing a very special doctor’s practice after an sudden change left the doctor without a group with which to practice. Both have become good news, but both involved massive changes and losses of external life reference points that humans use to identify and validate themselves.

About five years ago-- right after the Holidays -- my wife of eleven years died of cancer -- after two really horrendous and painful years -- more change and loss.

I am still managing this practice, and in August I started writing a blog that has really taken me deeper and deeper inside myself -- more and more self and God intimate.

Change -- the loss of life reference points -- has left me feeling vulnerable and uncertain about who I am and what I am meant to give to others. Change and losses disorient human beings -- especially when there are no clear or pressing problems off of which to “reflect” ourselves.

As I was discussing my awarenesses with a spiritual friend, I remembered movies and stories where persons would sell their soul to Satan in order to obtain certain outcomes that they wanted. I would never do that, but actually I did try to sell my soul -- not to Satan -- but to “Jesus”.

From before I was born, my family was very active in a very fundamentalist church. As a child I was very insecure, timid, never feeling good enough. In my experience, fundamentalist religion teaches that God has to do what you ask -- if you do what you are “supposed” to do. Years later I realize that this message implied -- or stated -- the offer to sell my soul to get what I wanted. Happiness would have been nice, love and acceptance would have been wonderful, but most of all I wanted relief -- to stop feeling so much feeling -- so much pain and fear.

So at eight years old I began to bargain with God to sell my soul -- I got “saved“. I began reading the Bible, praying, and became active in my church -- trying to be good enough to have Jesus purchase my soul -- take everything that was important to me, and give me relief.

I spent a lot of years and effort in this pursuit, and finally gave up about twenty years ago. Depression, and anxiety was ruling my life -- and I could find no peace.

Twenty years ago I discovered and began a spiritual journey through a different set of principles not rules -- spiritual not religious. From these principles and the people who shared similar life issues and challenges, I began to find a different life. I realized that my God is not interested in possessing my soul -- or me. They want my heart -- my love and presence within Their Love and Presence -- intimate closeness, companionship, and friendship. They have no conditions for Their love, care, and kindness. They are a Presence that exceeds all my human thought and understanding -- they can only be experienced -- they cannot be “known“ by my brain.

So what does this have to do with the Holidays?

Is your soul for sell? Are we selling parts of ourselves -- or all of ourselves -- our souls -- to be loved, accepted, cared about -- maybe just to not be abandoned, alone, forgotten? Are we consciously or unconsciously trying to meet someone else’s conditions and expectations, and in the process losing and selling ourselves? For how much would we sell our souls -- the beauty and grace we were created with -- for the hope of a different, seemingly better outcome?

The Holidays are a metaphor -- an experiential symbol -- for all of our lives and loves. If we can begin to find our God’s unconditionally loving and caring Presence, maybe we can begin to take a spiritual stand for our spiritual and personal freedom. Maybe we can begin to give our presence to others, and not remain the “slaves” of others’ obvious and hidden -- dark-- expectations and demands of others.

Progress is Perfection. Let’s start here. Let’s take as much of ourselves as we can off the market -- and give our deepest love and presence to those who can receive us this Holiday.

To those who have hearts that love, let them be loved -- joy pressed down and running over -- coming from our most innermost beings to others.

Detach Responsibly During the Holidays -- Spiritual Healing


Detachment with love means I stop depending upon what others do, say or feel to determine my own well-being or to make my decisions….
We let go of our obsession with another’s behavior and begin to lead happier and more manageable lives, lives with dignity and rights, lives guided by a Power greater than ourselves…
Detachment is not a wall; it is a bridge across which we may begin a new approach to life and relationships generally…
As I learn that I am consistently loveable regardless of my strengths or limitations, I begin to see something consistently loveable in others, even those who suffer from an unlovable disease.
The Courage to Change

If a man carry his own lantern, he need not fear darkness.

We Find What We Are Looking For - Reprogramming Our Minds with Daily Inspirations


What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
John Lubbock

The quality of our lives is determined by our emotional reactions to life events and circumstances. Our emotional reactions are produced by our mental perceptions of those life events and circumstance. Our perceptions are created by the programming, from past life experiences, of neural pathways in our brain – active and operating memories.

So basically the quality of our lives is determined by what our brains are programmed to look for. And this programming determines the conclusions we make about what we see – how we experience our present situation and events.

It is what makes our process of daily inspiration and ongoing spiritual enlightenment so critical to having joyful and precious moments, instead of pain, discomfort, and suffering. Daily inspirations can insert the conscious higher Presence of our God into the neural pathways of our brain, and reprogram our minds with love and serenity.

Three factors are significant about our brain’s storage of past experiences as neural operating programming:
1. Negative life experiences – abandonments -- are given priority programming because the brain perceives them to be related to possible ultimate “death” – total separation and abandonment.
2. The majority of the programming of our brains – the perceptual filters that produce our reactions -- are below the level of conscious thought. So they operate and control our reactions without our consciousness that they are there, and without our ability to consciously change them by will or intent.
3. Spirituality – the conscious daily experiencing of our God’s Presence – can reprogram our unconscious neural pathways, and eliminate the programmed perceptual filters that cause painful and fearful emotional reactions. Pain and fear reminds us of parts of our brain that have not been spiritually healed by God’s loving, unconditional Presence – reminds us of past painful abandonments that we are reliving in the present.

Today, we can feel our feelings – pain, fear, sadness, anger, and even peace and joy – recognizing that our discomforts and fears comes from mental places we cannot consciously control. We can connect with our God’s higher Presence – tell God, others and ourselves about our present experiences, listen to the voice of our God in spiritual readings, the voices of others -- daily inspirations. And we can consciously and deliberately take actions of trust – do the next right thing, act as if we know that God is taking care of us -- maybe just consciously breathe as an act of faith.

God’s Presence can and will reprogram our minds and we will consistently look for the good, and loving, and exciting parts of living. We will see our lives becoming better places by God’s design.

Freedom Comes from Compassion -- Spiritual Enlightenment


We live in a prison – not a palace – when our hearts have not cracked wide open.
Buddha

From a spiritual perspective, anything negative that happens has only one purpose: to foster compassion in the human heart. Anything can fuel the fires of compassion if our hearts are open wide enough.
Marianne Williamson

Freedom comes from compassion.

A spiritual perspective comes from living in a consistently conscious and intimate Presence with the God of our personal experience. In order for this to occur, “cracks” – openings created by the force of conscious life experiences within mental perceptual processes – must form within the neural energy network of our brains. These openings, coupled with our God’s Presence, frees lost and abandoned selves to reemerge into spiritual consciousness.

With this freeing of selves comes compassion – an ability to be unconditionally present for others by a conscious sharing of similar painful life experiences. Any life experience can be used to fuel the flames of emerging of conscious Presence – spiritual enlightenment and spiritual healing.

Where there is bondage and constriction, there is an absence of compassion – an absence of connection. Our hearts cannot love and care when they are imprisoned by thought and unconsciousness – conditions of acceptance and rejection.

Compassion connects hearts and minds to each other in ways that words cannot express. And to try to understand returns us to the dungeons of self-protection from which compassion and caring are impossible.

Compassion plugs our beings into an energy and force of love that changes and transforms our lives into light and Presence. We have all been given the “lamp, bulb, and wiring” to glow within others’ lives, but we remain dark until we insert our hearts into God’s Presence. Daily inspirations and experiencing life’s precious moments brings our lives into being within others hearts, and we can share – together – the warmth and change of spiritual enlightenment to our human experiences.

Life experiences offer access to God’s loving Presence so our hearts can be fully opened -- glowing and flowing compassion and caring -- bringing spiritual healing and spiritual enlightenment.

Spiritual Healing and Enlightenment Require Brokenness


We live in a prison – not a palace – when our hearts have not been cracked open wide.
Buddha


Over twenty-three years ago, I lived with the illusion that I was in control of my life -- my perceptions and reactions. I had become a functional thought addict – an intellectual – and was generally disconnected from my own feelings and reactions.

And then – thought and intellect quit working -- Humpty Dumpty Will fell off the wall of his unconscious denial, and cracked wide open. All the best thinking and all the best reasoning could not put him back together again. I was permanently shattered.

Frequently my thoughts would fantasize about death, and taking my own life. The pain and fear was unbearable – massive waves of hopeless helpless torment and misery. Nothing I did could give any lasting relief.

In this brokenness, someone suggested some things, which I grabbed greedily:
1. It was suggested that I see a therapist who treated therapists. I made an appointment and saw him every week for nearly a year.
2. It was suggested that I attend a spiritual support group for persons struggling with similar problems. I dived in headfirst.

There was no way of knowing then that this cracked and broken condition would eventually bring me to where I have come in the last over twenty years. It has truly become a gift.

My experience, and my observations from watching others, has revealed several things:
1. All human beings are broken and cracked by their human experiences of life. Most people will never experience spiritual healing and spiritual enlightenment because it will never become necessary to do so. The pain and discomfort will never consciously “get that bad”.
2. The first step in spiritual healing and spiritual enlightenment is to experience consciously our being cracked and broken. Without knowing we are sick, there is no need for or interest in Presence and spiritual healing.
3. The way that the human brain prevents someone from becoming consciously cracked, broken and open is by the brain’s inserting unconsciousness and anesthesia into the painful rips and tares within the mind. The element inserted is thought – which causes a generalized and specific dissociation of ourselves from our deeper selves, and therefore, disconnecting a person from consciousness of their own pain.
4. Our heart must be broken in order for love to enter our being and begin to heal our brokenness. A higher Presence – God as we personally experience Him and Her, must penetrate our brains and hearts.

Spiritual healing and spiritual enlightenment involves a reconnecting of our inner selves with ourselves, with our God, and with other human beings.

As much as we are able, we need to allow ourselves to be “cracked” by increasingly experiencing life and our perceptions and reactions. Our brokenness will readily surface when we feel ourselves consciously, and connect conscious with our God’s higher Presence.

Feel ConnectLove. We are not alone.
