Ξ± emotional and spiritual recovery Ξ©

i find this reading to be interesting because it directly speaks to the issue of getting stuck in the inventory process. bouncing between steps four and five seems like a very masochistic thing to do in my opinion anyways. i have never participated in this cycle but i have done ‘box sets,’ steps four through seven to take care of a troubling problem or address an issue that has come up from my past that is larger that what the tenth, eleventh and twelfth step process can handle. i personally want to grow spiritually and emotionally. i personally want to look to today and plan for my future. i do believe that in order to do that i need to face my past, admit my defects, surrender them to GOD, and clean up the damage i have done in the past. i know i have never been given more than i can handle so i think that i will continue the normal progression of my current step cycle and learn how to thrive.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

4) Therefore the (ruling) sage acts without claiming the results as
his; he achieves his merit and does not rest (arrogantly) in it:--he
does not wish to display his superiority.
