Water Consciousness and How to Unblock our Connection to It – Step 3

Written by

What prejudices do you hold or had held about a power greater than oneself, i.e., an HP?

“My prejudices of my higher power are anything Christian-based and are inextricably linked to modern Christian thinking. I do not agree with much of it. So this makes it extremely difficult to navigate terminology such as faith, God, and prayer. But I have to define what these mean for me and often use different terms that do not have the same connotations for me.” – Adam

Sea Fever

by John Masefield

I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
[A]nd the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

While producing a documentary on spirituality, a person we were interviewing said “People should go and make peace with the religion of their youth” in another interview it was said “The god you are angry with, does not exist”

Both of these were powerful examples about how the things from reglion that may have diminished our youthful love of our Higher Power was not god, it was people. And we are all flawed.

My Higher Power, while I know exists, I do not know in a way that unravels the mystery of my Higher Power and ultimately answers all questions that I may have. I have made peace with not knowing that while here, on this earth, during the great gift of Energy and Matter conjoined. I know, that I will remember my Higher Power, without a single question when my time here is complete.

For me first it was the I’m in control mode. And then it was why God did you make me like this blaming him for creating a crazed alcoholic. But both of those experiences brought me to where I am now. Knowing that I am not in control of people places and things, and that I have a choice in which path to take. Today I choose to stay on the path of sound of mine living in sobriety none of this could have happened without God’s intervention

Good morning everyone + Happy Sunday. Going to church today then taking it easy. I’m feeling a little ill today. So, here is today’s thought. Get busy when you are called to + rest when you need to. Blessings. BB

Some times I have to remind myself that my higher power is not trying to punish me when things go wrong. In my heart, I really do feel my HP loves me and would never cause me harm.

I want to say “Happy Birthday” to my beloved son. He and my daughter have taught me more about love than I ever knew existed. Kind of like the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, it is in loving that we are loved. Happy birthday, son. Please know that you are loved beyond measure.
