Thought for the Day – A truly open mind

A few years ago, a friend told me about a principle that I believe he called “gigantesse”. He defined it as seeing multiple facets of God, truth, self or spiritual principles simultaneously. 

When I first see the 12-steps, they appear to be 12 events that I will be assigned homework on from my sponsor. For instance, step 4 seems to be a single unit in which I write down everybody I am sore at.

As time passes the 3rd column becomes paramount and I can start to see ‘common manifestations of self” and how they continue to warp the mind if not challenged and taken to God in contemplation.

When the principle of gigantesse is revealed, I see more and more how step 4 is a small part of a greater whole and that 4-5-6 is a package and 4-5-6-7 is a package and that 10 has all the steps in it.

Contemplation for the Day

Am I locked into a belief system about the literature of the steps that no longer serves?

Prayer for the Day

God, please reveal yourself to me in a way that I can understand.
