When we start to spend time each day in weaponising our responses

When we start to spend time each day in weaponising our responses, resting in our awareness, observing the flow of the breath and the activity of our mind and body as a priority without getting caught up in that activity, we are cultivating calmness and mindfulness hand in hand with protection.

97% of the money in the world doesn't exist

We all know that 97% of the money in the world doesn't exist and that's thanks to Fractional Reserve Banking, or should I say fictional reserve banking." He grinned at his own joke, his smile partly hidden by his hair, "Money is no longer attached to the Gold Standard, therefore, it isn't based on anything. So when it says, 'I promise to pay the bearer on demand ten pounds,' I have to ask, ten pounds of what?" Silence. "The world is owned by the rich shareholder, the rich superstar, the rich industrialist, the rich aristocracy." He was now marching around the stage, "It doesn't matter who or what they are, if they're rich then they own a part of the world, but they only own it because they've got lots of money. Which means they own part of the 97% of the world’s fictional money, the pretend money that only exists on a computer." He stopped abruptly and stared out at the audience, "Which means that if they cashed in their fictional nonexistent money they'd get something like this ten pound note offering to pay the bearer the sum of ten pounds of nothing." He held the note aloft, "Which means the rich have managed to buy the entire world with paper nothing that has a value of nothing and we've let them do it.

We become aware of the suffering caused by our unmindful consumption

We become aware of the suffering caused by our unmindful consumption, We vow to cultivate good health, both physical and mental, for ourself, our family, and our society by practicing mindful eating, drinking and consuming. We vow to ingest only items that preserve peace, well-being and joy in my body, in my consciousness, and in the collective body and consciousness of my family and society. We are determined not to use alcohol or any other intoxicant or to ingest foods or other items that contain toxins, such as certain TV programs, magazines, books, films and conversations. We are aware that to damage our body or our consciousness with these poisons is to betray  future generations. We will work to transform violence, fear, anger and confusion in ourselves and in society by practicing a diet for ourself and for society. We understand that a proper recovery program is crucial for self-transformation and for the transformation of society.

The graduation anthem of the growth process in The Ten Stages

We are truly fortunate who have found the capacity to grieve the horrors of our childhood in the ten stages. Grieving with the child within has opened our doors to inner serenity.

Do I believe that there is truth at the core of my child within?

Do I believe that the truth at this core my child within is more powerful than the lies that were imposed upon me?

Can I accept that I am meant to become a true and connected child within?

Do I believe that I have the capacity for AWAKENING?

Abuse, disrespect, traumas, be they from childhood or later in life, fester in our unconscious and lurk under our surface destructively in our adulthood.

Abuse, disrespect, traumas, be they from childhood or later in life, fester in our unconscious and lurk under our surface destructively in our adulthood. Until we heal our ancient injuries an angry and hurt child within rules our life through an adult pose. This is our false shadow self, and with it in charge we are cut off from our real child within and powerless to embody our truth. Our unresolved traumas pollute our relationships and drive us to addiction, depression, dissociation, and other forms of mental and physical illness. Our misplaced attempts to heal to numb and avoid our wounds, only add to our misery. Our lives suffer the brunt of our unconscious living, and our fellows and the environment also pay a price. When we look within and admit that this is what our life has come to, we start to awaken .

Assignment Higher Power On Seeing the hordes of people, the prophet went up to the mountain and sat down, and his closest followers gathered round

Assignment Higher Power: "Seeing the hordes of people, the prophet went up to the mountain and sat down, and his closest followers gathered round.

And he opened his mouth, and this is what he taught: Life’s most fortunate are those who are humble enough to receive the truth. They shall know the true beauty of life...Read what he said below:"
do not use others’ lack of healing as an excuse for not healing yourself. It is all too easy to focus on others’ flaws at the expense of your own inward journey. Many who purport to heal others have not the slightest awareness of their own insanity.

Assignment Higher Power: "The Child Within never goes out for a smoke break."

Assignment Higher Power: "The Child Within never goes out for a smoke break."

Where we have decide the fate of others in our own minds, we violate them and disrespect their integrity. This only expresses the violations and disrespect to which we were subjected as a child and to which we continue to subject ourself through our own lack of emotional resolution. When we fail to honour the healing power that lies within others we only demonstrate our failure to honour the healing power within ourself.

Anybody can awaken to their truth of being.

Meditation Mind: "Anybody can awaken to their truth of being. And yet, when it is realised, often the person who has committed a large portion of his or her life to the spiritual path is more readily able to let go and flow with that realisation than the person who hasn’t been on a spiritual path.

Does that have anything to do with some sort of merit earned by sitting on a meditation cushion, or whatever the spiritual practice was?

Absolutely not! It has nothing to do with that.

It has nothing whatever to do with preparing the field, tilling the soil, or fertilising our being.


It’s just that it’s possible, though not a guarantee, that someone who has made the spiritual search his or her priority in life is already in fidelity to truth when awakening happens.


Awakening was wanted more than anything else, and his or her life has been a living, walking, breathing demonstration of this fidelity."

Enlightened Steps

We admitted we were powerless over what we hoped we could control – that our lives had become unmanageable. Came to believe that we could know peace. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Admitted to all that is, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our actions. Were entirely ready to release all obstacles to peace. Humbly dedicated ourselves to the path. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible except when to do so would injure them or others. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our awareness of ultimate reality and connection to our intuitive center, praying only for knowledge of right action and the power to carry that out. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all areas of our lives.

We need to deal with those feelings of why we don't feel good enough and start to approve of ourself first.

If we are looking for validation or approval from others, we might go to incredible lengths to please the others and when the other doesn't react the way we want them to, then we feel hurt but we respond with anger as a way to deal with those feelings. We don't feel good enough inside or we feel like a failure so we try to get others to tell them how good we are. But, it doesn't work and then we end up feeling angry at everyone because we've gone to so much effort and it wasn't appreciated.

The answer to this one is that we need to deal with those feelings of why we don't feel good enough and start to approve of ourself first. Once we approve of ourself, so will others.

No condemnation, no reprimand, no argument. The love of the father for his child

 “No condemnation, no reprimand, no argument. The love of the father for his child.”

What The Ten Stages did for me was to implode all of my conviction about myself. I was not only wrong about the nature of my drinking—I was wrong about the nature of myself. I had thought I was a victim of my depravity, but it turned out that my depravity was the gift that had forced me to come home. the stages explained this to me better than anyone: my child within wasn’t angry. Worse than that: my child within didn’t even understand anger.

I had thought that I was a desperado, coming in from the fields, begging for a handout. It turned out that I was a prince, and my father saw me from a long way off.

The 12 Steps are the heart of Alcoholics Anonymous—but which12 Steps?

The two principal versions of the 12 Steps are markedly different in history and in spirit. One was written by a young, optimistic Bill Wilson on the pink cloud of early sobriety; the other was written by Wilson 15 years later when he was disillusioned and suffering from crippling depression. He wrote the first version in a borrowed office with a pretty secretary transcribing; he wrote the second in a cinderblock shack built to escape visitors, with a judgmental editor so disgusted with Wilson’s shenanigans that he broke away from AA a few years later. Needless to say, the two versions—one published in Alcoholics Anonymous (aka the Big Book) in 1939; the other in 1953’s Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions—paint very different pictures of the problem of alcoholism and its AA solution.
In the spring of 1938, AA was a fledgling organization, little more than a brainstorm in the minds of two native Vermonters who had managed to stop drinking: Wilson, a salesman in Brooklyn, New York, and Dr. Bob Smith, a proctologist in Akron, Ohio. It was Bill’s idea to write a book for people who couldn’t get to AA meetings. He began work in the Newark, New Jersey, offices of Honor Dealers, owned by an early AA member named Hank Parkhurst, drafting and dictating to Parkhurst’s secretary Ruth Hock. Quickly Wilson realized that he needed a structure for the book.
One night at home in Brooklyn, taking as a model the six tenets of the Oxford Group, a Christian evangelical group of which both Wilson and Smith had been members, he began writing. “I relaxed and asked for guidance,” he recalled later. “With a speed that was astonishing…I completed the first draft.” When he numbered the steps he had written, there were twelve.
As each chapter was finished, it was circulated in New York and Akron for editing by veteran newsmen who had gotten sober in AA. Some pages of the original manuscript are almost illegible because of the many edits, most of which make the text more inclusive and less Christian. For instance, Bill Wilson’s first draft of the seventh step read: “Humbly, on our knees, asked God to forgive our shortcomings.” The phrase “on our knees” was deleted, even as the phrase “as we understood him” was added to the word “God” in the third step.

Some mornings, Tom Powers later told me, Bill would just put his head down on his desk and weep while Powers and Love tapped out the new steps on Bill’s typewriter.
It was more than a decade—and a World War—later, when AA was becoming so popular that Bill Wilson avoided meetings, before he thought that it was time for some system of governing and by-laws for the organization. By then he had read thousands of letters written by groups all over the world, many with the same questions and a few with the same solutions. To bring all the knowledge together he planned a new book of "twelve traditions"—these are the by-laws—and an expansion of the 12 Steps. The steps in the Big Book are often brief and run together; Bill wanted to amplify each step and give it its due.
Dr. Bob had died in 1950, and Bill and Lois Wilson were living in the shingled house called Stepping Stones in Bedford Hills, New York. To edit the new book, Bill tapped AA friend Tom Powers, who had worked in advertising and lived nearby in Chappaqua, and magazine editor Betty Love. The three met in the morning in Wit’s End, the cinderblock office Bill had built on a ridge above his house. Soon after they began the work, Bill was felled with the third disabling depression of his life, which he called a “period of blackness.” Some mornings, Tom Powers later told me, Bill would just put his head down on his desk and weep while Powers and Love tapped out the new steps on Bill’s typewriter.
I interviewed Tom Powers before he died at his All Addicts Anonymous (AAA) East Ridge retreat, in Callicoon, New York, where he had established his own sober community after angrily leaving AA in 1958. Powers said that he could no longer tolerate Bill Wilson’s philandering; he also had reason to think Bill was a thief. While Powers’ judgmental voice is evident in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Bill’s mood had also become much darker. After 15 years’ leading AA, he was tired; he felt an enormous burden of responsibility and expectation. In fact, he introduced a resolution that passed in 1955 to turn AA over to its members.
“It may appear that AA consists mainly of racking dilemmas and trouble-shooting,” he wrote near the end of the book. “We have been talking about problems because we are problem people.” When another writer—Jack Alexander—complimented Bill on his work, Bill answered, “Besides my natural tendency to procrastinate, I’ve had a dreadful hex about further writing. Figure I had been so beat up by the events of these last years that I could never bring off anything more that would be worthwhile.”
The darkness in which the new steps were composed is reflected in the harshness of their tone. In step four in Alcoholics Anonymous, for instance, readers are gently led to the idea that they may have some part in their own misfortunes. There is no judgment. But in step four in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, readers are told that they are “tyrannized” by their desires, which has resulted in emotional “deformities.” Readers are scolded for imposing their instincts on others and giving in to uncontrollable desires for prestige with a resulting “perverse soul-sickness.” The Big Book promises that God is waiting: “when we drew near him he disclosed himself to us!” The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions often describes a God who can seem unjust or heavy-handed.
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,” Ralph Waldo Emerson, another New Englander, famously wrote. AA literature is magnificently inconsistent, often contradicting itself or dramatically changing its point of view, as it did about the steps from 1938 to 1953. This was part of Bill Wilson’s ability to make AA welcoming to almost anyone who needed help. It’s hard to pick a fight with someone who is on your side.
