so ma year ago, i would have edited GOD out of this post, as i was still in a process of coming to terms with how i saw things beyond the mortal pale. six months ago, i would have used GOD only int the title and nowhere else, as i was certain that GOD was not part of how i saw things. that has not changed, GOD is GOD, and yet GOD is of all that is the POWER that fuels my recovery. as a result, i no longer need to stumble, falter or be less than honest about how i see the spiritual path, that i have set upon. that path started a few days ago, and i have yet to reach any sort of destination. what i have uncovered, discovered and implemented along the way, is a system of beliefs that is becoming much more open, embracing of my fellows and highly personal to me. i need no longer cringe when i hear my peers, sharing about their paths, as i know that we are walking in the same direction, just along apparently parallel paths. i say apparently because in my mind, i do not see any intersection, but that is just a perception and more than likely not reality.
what has been going through my head for the past few days, is that the only thing i can change is my mind. GOD is GOD, no matter what i choose to call that concept, IT is. as much as i rail against the grain, as uncomfortable as i feel when my peers share their spiritual experience, the fact remains, there is some POWER that keeps this addict clean, and provides for all of my spiritual needs. that fact seems tro be the foundation of my FAITH and just for today that is more than enough.
