amazing
somedays the JFT reading is so applicable to me and others i dismiss it quickly as someting i am already doing
of course today i am doing everything i can to increase my connection to God
or am i
when i am dismissive of an idea regardless of the source there usually is some part of my program that is lacking and i use denial to protect my overly fragile ego
even though i pray twice daily, and meditate every morning there are many ways in which i can improve my conscious contact
am i listening for God's voice when i am making a decision?
can i meditate longer?
do i seek a spiritual priciple to apply in a given situation?
am i seeking outside validaion of myself and my program?
am i living in self-will?
have i truly surrendered my will and my life today and a continual basis?
am i doing my best to be part of the solution?
evidently, this reading did apply to me this morning and i need to seek out more ways to improve my conscious contact to continue to grow
complacency and the disease of addiction are allies and will kill me
so i guess i will do my best to establish, maintain and grow my conscious contact
