PROOF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT – “Denial is the part of our disease that makes it difficult, if not impossible, for us to acknowledge reality.” “Always skillful at defending our actions, we refused to accept responsibility for the damage done by our addiction.” (It Works, How & Why, p. 4)

Analysis: Tapping into the Vision

Self-deception masks our true reality. Overeaters Anonymous warns us about negative thinking. We often dwell on the dark side of life. Denial protects us from the pain of change. It Works How & Why calls denial a skillful defense. We refuse responsibility for the damage we caused.

Jung (1961) claimed irritations from others lead to self-understanding. Our limited experience often traps our spirit. We must look beyond what our eyes see. This requires a connection to a Higher Power. The Great Spirit offers a clearer vision of truth. The Red Road to Wellbriety encourages this spiritual awakening. White Bison (2002) states we must face our own truth. Honesty opens the door to healing.

Annie Besant describes denial as an absurd position. We limit ourselves when we reject outside truths. Growth happens when we embrace a broader perspective. Our Great Mystery guides us toward a brighter path. We find blessings by shifting our focus. Reality becomes clear when we drop our defenses. Recovery transforms our narrow view into a vast horizon.

ACCEDIENDO A LA VISIÓN MÁS ALLÁ DE LO QUE NUESTROS OJOS PUEDEN VER – PASO 12

HABITANTES DEL LADO OSCURO –

“¿Nos hemos engañado y mentido a nosotros mismos? ¿Hemos vivido en la negación sobre nuestra alimentación, nuestros defectos de carácter o nuestra necesidad de cambiar? El pensamiento negativo es otra forma de autoengaño… ¿Tendemos a detenernos en el lado oscuro de las cosas… ignorar nuestras bendiciones y enfocarnos en lo que nos falta?” (Comedores Compulsivos Anónimos, p. 42)

PRUEBA MÁS ALLÁ DE TODA DUDA RAZONABLE –

“La negación es la parte de nuestra enfermedad que nos hace difícil, si no imposible, reconocer la realidad. Siempre hábiles para defender nuestras acciones, nos negamos a aceptar la responsabilidad por el daño causado por nuestra adicción.” (Funciona: Cómo y Por Qué, p. 4)

REFLEXIÓN DE ANNIE BESANT –

“Negarse a creer hasta que se presenten pruebas es una posición racional; la negación de todo lo que está fuera de nuestra propia experiencia limitada es absurda.”

Annie Besant (1847 – 1943)


Análisis

El autoengaño oculta nuestra verdadera realidad. Comedores Compulsivos Anónimos nos advierte sobre el pensamiento negativo. A menudo nos detenemos en el lado oscuro de la vida. La negación nos protege del dolor del cambio. Funciona: Cómo y Por Qué llama a la negación una defensa hábil. Rechazamos la responsabilidad por el daño que causamos.

Jung (1961) afirmó que las irritaciones de los demás llevan al autoconocimiento. Nuestra experiencia limitada a menudo atrapa nuestro espíritu. Debemos mirar más allá de lo que ven nuestros ojos. Esto requiere una conexión con un Poder Superior. El Gran Espíritu ofrece una visión más clara de la verdad. El Camino Rojo hacia la Bienestaridad fomenta este despertar espiritual. White Bison (2002) afirma que debemos enfrentar nuestra propia verdad. La honestidad abre la puerta a la curación.

Annie Besant describe la negación como una posición absurda. Nos limitamos cuando rechazamos las verdades externas. El crecimiento ocurre cuando aceptamos una perspectiva más amplia. Nuestro Gran Misterio nos guía hacia un camino más brillante. Encontramos bendiciones al cambiar nuestro enfoque. La realidad se aclara cuando abandonamos nuestras defensas. La recuperación transforma nuestra visión estrecha en un horizonte vasto.

    I will sit in silence and really take inventory of my thoughts and actions – are these serving me well, or negatively blocking me?

    I was called out for being manipulative recently, and usually I would dig my heels in and argue, but I was able to stop, take a breath, and realized they were absolutely right. So mid conversation, I apologized and thanked them for recognizing something I truly hadn’t realized I was doing. So I think having people around me who are honest with me and not afraid to call me out helps hold me accountable and keeps me honest

    When I’m walking in the light of sobriety it’s hard to let self-deception creep in. My mind has been restored to sanity… I let the Holy Spirit lead the way, take Jesus by the hand, and God’s got my back

    Meditation and prayer yield consistent results for me in recovery. Over the last several months this grows stronger daily through practice and ritual repetition.

    Thank you for sharing recovery with me. Grateful.

    Good morning everyone + Happy Friday. Here is today’s thought. A fisherman goes out for the morning catch. The net is reeled in + it is full of all kinds of fish. Fish of all sizes, shapes, weights, + colors. The net holds fast + is not torn. It holds all of the fish. So it is with God’s love. His love holds us all, no matter what shape, size, weight, or color. Blessings. BB

    Oftentimes I like to get immediate responses from my inquiries and when that doesn’t happen my default is think the worst. It’s mind reading. And mind reading with no evidence to support the conclusions I draw that rejection is soon to follow.

    Powerlessness over time and patience are two concepts I still must work on in step 4

    In a relationship, I was holding back because of assumptions I was making about the other person’s perception of me. When I brought it up they made it clear that it was not an issue. I felt silly and realized how self-defeating this was. And it can get in the way of really connecting with people. It actually hurt because I realized how bad I was treating myself.

    This Trayvon Martin debacle has really been preying on my serenity lately. If I ruminate for too long I am quickly sent down a deep spiral of despair and anger that these attitudes feel as if they are on the rise. What I think I need to do is focus more on those that are a part of the solution and be grateful I live where I do and am part of organizations that are trying to make a difference.

    When the leader at a Weight Watchers meeting said she could not have lost weight without her Higher Power, I knew she went to Overeaters Anonymous. Then I realized I could not leave my Higher Power out of any part of my life. My Sponsor later told me that I cannot remove my character defects alone. My path converges with the paths of others as I need to learn from them – as I need to hear the voice of my Higher Power speak through them. Ahh, my Higher Power: don’t leave home without Her.
