It came about after a prolonged period of meditation, having the same image come up in my mind's eye over and over - A Closed Door in the middle of a giant hall. Someone said write about it and I did; hence this poetry and the concept, then 175 Missing Pieces and all the rest of the books on recovery and now workshops and seminars on spiritual recovery. Neil

What Does Having Faith Mean To You:
What Does Having Faith Mean To You:
Having faith in…
Faith has strange mystical
qualities that aren’t readily noticeable at first.
Faith:
·
Cannot think for itself.
·
Does not have a consciousness.
·
Will do what it does and go where it is directed by its beholder.
·
Will faithfully do whatever it is directed to do. After all, that is its job.
·
Is blind.
So this business of having
faith is as much a matter of where you place it, as it is a matter of having
some. This concept is important, for
without the benefit of this puzzle piece in its proper place all can and will
get lost for myriad lengths of time.
If you have faith in Something
Unreal Or Unhealthy, you will feed the process within your ego that
supports your lack of reality or your lack of health. The simple yet often missed constant in the
universe is: The Source Of The Universe,
The Creator Is In Everything.
Everything that we think, everyplace we go, in all the places we can’t
go, taking sides with those who are seemingly against us, in places and
situations that are unfathomable, in conditions that are unimaginable and in a
fashion that is impossible to relate to, but the creator is in all.
All that is, all that was and all that will be; it
is indivisible ... it can’t be reduced or increased ... it is simply all ...
and we are a portion of all ... the smallest cog in the wheel of life. Not separate from but a part of ... and that
the ego cannot readily accept ... in fact if there is a purpose for being here
that was it ... Getting the Ego to come to terms with it is a part of all that
is and not a separate segregated self unto itself ... Now perception comes into
play ... this is not about what I see, this is about how I look.
