A-ho. Respectful greetings to all my relatives.
I post here today, to serve as a witness, to the Greater power of the One Source. I tell you friends, there is One...above all conflict, and evils, who can deliver from all things. But the one you have to deal with is yourself. It is always given to us to CHOOSE. Will we let the One work through us, or will we not?
See, addictions......when we hear the word.....we automatically think of booze and dope. Winos....burned out crack heads. But read the message Annie posted above. The REAL addictions......they are from inside us. And the booze, the drugs....they are symptoms only. And most times I think, not even what destroys us. It is the addiction to our own misery that is the real killer.
We all face failures. There are challenges in our life.....which we simply cannot measure up to. I have seen families, well off.....and lately, the economy is such.....that one small change can mean disaster. The whole family homeless and on the streets. We can embrace our pain at these failures. Take a moment to weep over them and move on. Or we can take them to ourselves, and eventually die.
Or maybe we seek escape from the pain of what someone has done to us. No matter where we turn, that memory is here facing us. And only in poisons, drugs booze and evil relationships, do we THINK to escape.
But I tell you now with a certainty......the self destructive road only leads one way. And at the end of that black road, there is one final guard shack. A checkpoint. When you reach it, you may choose. Continue on, and slip into that final night. OR....have the courage to deny your own weakness, the pain, the horror that life seems to be. Let the One take over. Drive you back off the black road and set you on a new Path.
And I think it is why we have to go all the way down the road. See....the whole time we are on it....we cannot believe...we are bl;inded, trapped by our own pain, misery, the wal we build within. Even when we tell ourselves others are to blame......the walls that hold us in and on the road , are of our own making. It is only when we reach that last point of no return, that we are truly free to see, because the choice is the last one.
My prayer is that each one may carry these words hidden in their heart, until the moment comes. And then recall them, and make the choice for life. Because, it is there. It is always there. And even more...if these words can somehow open your eyes to the One and his Path before the end of that road....!!! How great could that be. But I doubt it. Most of are stubborn enough to have to see it to the end.
But in any case, Walk Well, all my relations.....there is Love, there is Life, there is the Dance, and the Sacred Ways. May you find them in yourself. I finally have.
