Thought for the Day

All information I receive is like a meal for the false self to use as fuel for it-self.  The information does me no good. In fact, it bolsters the self making my ‘life’ more unmanageable.

When the truth about the family disease of alcoholism penetrates through the layers of grandiosity and defiant-individuality to my heart, I am rendered surrendered and can reach out and ask for help.

“We learned that we had to fully concede to our innermost selves that we were alcoholics. this is the first step in recovery”. This is true NOW.

Any information that comes through my eyes or ears that sings to my heart can be contemplated with God in stillness.

“Only an act of Providence” can take the information and move it from the intellect to my heart or ‘innermost-self’.

“We reject the salvation that God offers us—our chance of finding God—because we “have great possessions”; not so much that we are very rich in terms of money, for indeed most people are not, but because we have great possession in the way of preconceived ideas—confidence in our own judgment, and in the ideas with which we happen to be familiar.” – Emmet Fox

Contemplation for the Day

Does intellectual information do me any good? Can it actually be harmful when I take possession of it as mine?

Prayer for the Day

God, please help my find stillness and take the time to understand.
