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.

Willingness is the Key to Spiritual Enlightenment and Spiritual Healing

Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God
as we understood Him.

Practicing Step Three is like the opening of a door which to all appearances is still closed and locked. All we need is a key, and the decision to swing the door open. There is only one key, and it is called willingness. Once unlocked by willingness, the door opens almost of itself, and looking through it, we shall see a pathway beside which is an inscription. It reads: “This is the way to a faith that works.”
Bill W.

Willingness opens the door to spiritual enlightenment and spiritual healing. It requires the experience of two prior spiritual principles:

1. “We admitted we were powerless – that our lives had become unmanageable.” We, first, have to admit and experience that we cannot change or control the ultimate outcomes of our lives – nor can we become willing by simply willing it so. As long as this illusion persists, willingness and spiritual enlightenment is virtually impossible.

2. “We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” In the presence of others who are struggling with the same problems, we begin to experience a Presence greater than all ourselves. This intimate Presence begins to access our unconscious minds and reprogram our perceptions and reactions – spiritual healing. We begin to experience a sanity that allows us to care for ourselves and others – and enables us to be willing to be recreated into our truest selves.


Willingness ultimately requires and causes a life changing spiritual enlightenment that occurs when a higher loving Presence enters our lives and gives us choices and not just options.

Daily Inspirations and Prayer -- Speaking In Presence

Liz died of colon cancer January 28, 2005.

For many years I searched for God's language. How does He and She communicate and interact? What words and thoughts reach their hearts and connects mine to theirs? I wanted to speak to my higher Presence -- God.

I read books, studied theology, and the Bible, listened to teachers and ministers. And I was no better off -- even more hopelessly alone -- without contact and conversation.

One day -- I don't remember the exact day -- I was so desperate and lost, and I began to write to God -- my thoughts, words, feelings -- then I breathed deeply and consciously -- and I listened -- for some sound of someone there, with me, listening and caring about me.

As I listened -- a still small voice -- without mental words -- someone there -- with me in my darkness -- and I felt a calming, loving Presence -- deep down where I had never been -- and I knew -- I experienced -- I am not alone -- even in death -- I will not be alone.

I am learning each day to speak -- and listen -- in Presence

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

Now that we have completed an initial spiritual history of our human disease, and have shared it with our higher Presence and ourselves by admitting its secrets to a spiritual coach or guide, these next two spiritual principles are the spiritual therapy which can bring spiritual healing.

Daily inspirations are sources of spiritual enlightenment and Presence from inspiring life quotes, inspirational readings, spiritual coaching, spiritual meditations, and others’ personal stories and experiences. They prepare us to receive spiritual therapy, and they are administered regularly as actual spiritual therapy.

Daily inspirations provide sources of spiritual energy – intimate Presence – which begin restoring us to spiritual enlightenment with others, ourselves and our higher Presence.

Sixth Spiritual Principle: We became entirely ready to have our higher Presence treat and heal the symptoms of our humanness.

As we disclose our secrets, we begin and continue the healing process of spiritual therapy for our wounded brains. To continue the process of spiritual healing and spiritual enlightenment, we must proceed through the progression of spiritual therapy treatments – inserting and improving conscious connection to our higher Presence into the unPresence. For this spiritual principle to operate, two things are necessary:
1. Our level of conscious human experience – pain -- must be great enough to create a willingness to be treated. Short term, spiritual therapy is going to increase our neural discomfort. Long term, only spiritual therapy will actually heal our humanness and eliminate our symptoms. If the conscious pain is not great enough we will abandon spiritual therapy, and return to active human illness.
2. Our level of conscious spiritual Presence must be great enough to protect us from being overwhelmed by emerging consciousness, and by resulting emotional pain. Our level of higher spiritual Presence must be great enough to restore serenity to our unPresent neural pathways.

This spiritual principle involves preparation for spiritual therapy, and the maintenance of this preparation, both by the steady practice of daily inspirations with the help of spiritual coaching.

Seventh Spiritual Principle: We humbly asked Him and/or Her to heal our humanness.

We ask humbly because we are powerless to remove our own symptoms and illness. This too is a part of the process. I cannot treat my own illness or remove my own symptoms. I must maintain and experience an intimate relationship with my higher Presence that allows me to ask and receive the necessary spiritual therapy of Presence.

We receive the spiritual therapy of increasing Presence
1. When we are faced with circumstances that make our illness and symptoms conscious.
2. When we respond – humbly – to these circumstances and events by disclosing our feelings and experiences in spiritual coaching, and asking through this support and through daily inspirations for spiritual healing.
3. When we have experienced the renewed calmness and serenity of spiritual enlightenment.

In practicing these principles of spiritual enlightenment and spiritual therapy, we begin to regain our lost and wounded selves from the neural abyss of our brains – and our lives become a Better Place by Higher Design.

Twelve Spiritual Principles of Daily Inspirations And Spiritual Enlightenment: Part Three

We are powerless over our mental perceptions and over our emotional reactions and therefore the experience of our lives is unmanageable. Spiritual enlightenment requires that we start here and move forward with finding daily inspirations that begins to address our powerlessness.

Second Spiritual Principle: We came to experience that a Presence greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

The problems I have had with my perceptual filters of life were caused by an absence or loss of Presence – separation from God, and myself caused by actual or perceived abandonments by other human beings. Many of us have experienced a repairing or restoring of our mental filters when we began to reconnect with a higher Presence through others and through daily inspirations. And we still don’t know how damaged the neural network of our brains is.

This higher Presence begins to restore connections within our brain between the neural pathways of our primitive brain, and of our conscious reasoning brain. We begin to have “choices” – proportionate to our experienced levels of conscious Presence, and to the level of neural reprogramming that healing Presence has completed within our neurally stored pasts

This spiritual principle is about:
1. Experiencing a personal Presence greater than ourselves.
2. Finding daily inspirations that progressively reconnect us to our higher Presence, to ourselves and to others.
3. Using our spiritual experiences, and our daily inspirations to activate increasing spiritual enlightenment.
4. Receiving spiritual coaching to enable higher Presence to give us a neural soundness that frees our brains to receive spiritual enlightenment.

Third Spiritual Principle: We made a decision and took the action to turn our wills and our lives over the care of God as we experienced Him and/or Her.

Based on the intimate Presence that began to emerge in Step Two, we began to surrender our perceptions and decisions (our wills), and their outcomes (our lives) over to our personal and caring higher Presence. A critical part of this spiritual principle is Action. A decision without action is not really a decision – it is a mental exercise in fantasy. Action – like daily inspirations – accesses the brain’s neural network, and allows higher Presence to reprogram the darkness of lonely abandonment into the light of loving intimacy and warmth.

The action taken demonstrates a spiritual enlightenment and resulting trust relationship with our higher Presence. This actions takes the form of acting as if this Presence is taking care of us, and then “doing the next right thing” as an action of trust in this Presence. I have been unable to do this without spiritual coaching.

Summary:
In my experience of over twenty years, these initial three spiritual principles are ultimately the basis of all spiritual enlightenment, daily inspirations, and spiritual coaching. They have to be practiced and lived consistently to produce consistent results.

Spiritual coaching involves an experienced spiritual seeker, supporting and guiding a process of discovering and experiencing daily inspirations – moments of contact and intimacy with a higher Presence. This process of daily inspirations generates a neural openness that produces spiritual enlightenment as a natural and growing result.

And life becomes a Better Place by Higher Design.

Twelve Spiritual Principles of Daily Inspirations And Spiritual Enlightenment: Part Two

Introduction
My life is the product of my level of spiritual enlightenment, created and maintained by a steady diet of daily inspirations, and supported by spiritual coaching. In maintaining my spiritual life, I need spiritual principles – living guidelines – which direct and fashion my spiritual journey toward the spiritual enlightenment I am seeking. This is an introduction to these spiritual principles.

(These spiritual principles were adapted from the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous using my experience, strength, hope, and daily inspirations)

First Spiritual Principle: We admitted we were powerless – that our lives had become unmanageable.

Our species is addicted to living, and therefore to outcomes that seem to determine our survival -- existence and comfort – we are addicted to Control and Outcomes. With control of outcomes being a major life task of humans, we begin to believe that we are responsible for all outcomes. Such beliefs are encouraged by the following myths:
1. “You can be or do anything you want, if you put your mind to it, and if you try hard enough.”
2. “A person is just about as happy as he makes up his mind to be” (attributed to Abraham Lincoln).
3. Everyone’s ultimate success is determined by his or her “choices”.

Shame begins as we judge and evaluate ourselves by these myths.

Many will struggle with this concept in specific situations, which will be addressed later. For now, let’s follow a simple course of consideration: Our perceptions and reactions to life ultimately determine the quality of our lives – not the specific events and outcomes of life. Research has shown that the major perceptual filters of our brain are actually controlled by a primitive part of our brain that does not operate in thought, facts, reasoning, or judgment. It operates simply in neural impulses.

So when my brain perceives a person, thing, or situation, the major filters that the sensations go through are unconscious to my thinking brain. Therefore, my “happiness” or “success” is not based on reality or fact, but on the unconscious programming that was created either genetically, and/or by prior life experiences stored as suppressed neural energy within the brain.

We are powerless over our mental perceptions and over our emotional reactions and therefore the experience of our lives is unmanageable. Spiritual enlightenment requires that we start here and move forward with finding daily inspirations that begins to address our powerlessness.
