You are the Angel

You are the Angel. You are the Light. All the answers are within you.

We are all on the journey. Everyone on this is a volunteer and a hero. I am honored to be here with you.

Thank you for your part.

This volunteer journey can be a hard road to walk. When you are in pain and suffering and confusion you are still magnificent.

You are the Angel. Thank you for helping me complete my journey.

What's behind every addictive thought?

What's behind every addictive thought?

What's behind every time I feel I have to eat something to feel better, drink something to escape the pain of living, work until I drop to feel like I'm a good person, talk and fight and weep over petty thoughts?

I chased after this answer for 24 years through 12-step groups and spiritual groups and ACIM meetings and lessons and conversations and prayers and affirmations until finally I discovered the answer within.

Fear.

It's the fear that ACIM talks about. And until I am floating on a cloud of joy it will be there.

But little by little it is now being removed. I see and feel and know it happening. It's being healed.

I couldn't heal it. I tried so hard in so many ways. Finally I learned that my trying to heal it was a part of the problem.

It can only be healed through surrender.

Today I surrender the fear that is causing this addiction, this substitute for God's Love. I place the fear on God's Altar to Joy. I place myself on God's Altar to Joy. I love you.
