This I hold as my guide, my truth: I am a human being, I am abstinent, I am a seeker of still more spiritual growth.
Being a seeker of still more spiritual growth brings it all full circle...right back to "I am a human being."
It is the conscious awareness of being a human being first that allows for our fallibility...our egoic mind needs we be Center Court with God which is why it is essential we have at least one true friend, or mentor/confidant, to tell us the truth we do not see...namely, that we are a human being, plain and simple, no frills, no slime.
Knowing and showing that we are first a human being is akin to that first thought which just is, we can let it be without shame or blame.
That second thought though we are in charge of...of bringing it to bay, primarily for the benefit of others but always away from self-interest.
According to me, that is the essence of still more spiritual growth: primarily for the benefit of others but always away from self-interest.
Thank you.
