The Awakening.

I have written a book that is Spiritual as well as a book that leads people to function as a believer in Group activities of the Reorientation Centre. (www.reorientationcentre.com) It is my upper most desire that people come to the awakening processes that are contained in the teachings of the R.C. and furthermore that they be aligned to the principles of the Universe from those teachings. It is my best wishes that people be honest with themselves as well as to be honest with others. The R.C. is a Group Based Fellowship that is an extension of the Twelve Step programs and anyone that does not belong to a twelve step program there is no need to feel that you are left out; you are more than welcome to belong to the fellowship of believers.

In the awakening process I have outlined five areas that need to be addressed and worked through; the five areas are:-

1. The purification of the Heart Area.

2. The giving and receiving of support to and from others.

3. The Balance of a Lifestyle.

4. The practice of the nine disciplines of the Soul.

5. The maintenance of your present spiritual status.

Furthermore I will be given you accounts of my experience in the above.

1. The purification of the Heart Area.

Through the expression of Life, I have come into the realization of the Heart which is contained within me and as I have learned to purify that heart, I have become less double-minded. Acceptance I have learned mainly through the practice of the Serenity Prayer:-

God Give me the Serenity to accept the things that I cannot change.

Courage to change the things that I can.

And the Wisdom to know the difference.

The Goal in the purification process is the preservation of Life to everything in the Universe, other practices listed below have brought me in the above realization:-

1. I will resist nothing in myself to the harmony of the Universe.

2. I will React to nothing within myself to the harmony of all form in and around me

3. I will Oppose nothing as thoughts come into my mind

4. I will have Faith in my personal program and the unfoldment of the Garden of Eden status around me.

5. I will Hope in the unfoldment of the expression of the perfect Will of God before me and through me.

The R.C gives people an opportunity to practice and to have fellowship as one walk’s their individual journeys. The Heart Realm is an Honour to the unfoldment of my Life’s Journey. The Heart Realm is to preserve and honour the principle of the ‘Mother and Father’ My Mother and Father is the Reorientation Centre as well as a Twelve Step Program which I still follow. The Stillness leads me to the Truth of this Universe. The Way is directed from God to my understanding.

The Truth will set me free. The life is in full balance of and in the ongoing expression of God. By speaking the Truth to your innermost being you will set yourself free. The Truth aligns itself to all expression of form thereby cleansing the Heart Realm.

What I have to do is to love my self through all form; this is done by accepting that I am powerless over all form and by bringing the expression to this present moment. The Way, The Truth and the Life are an expression of the Heart Realm and by practicing the Support of others and the Soul Disciplines the Heart Realm is cleansed.

I had an experience a couple of years ago where the realization of the reconciliation of all things by God has been made. What I was doing was not hating myself in that form but loathing myself in that form and with that reconciliation I was able then to learn to love myself through all form.

Peace is very important and acquiring it has been very slow in my journey. Once I found a power through the twelve step program I was able then to break down the power in words and get rid of all torments of the mind. Negativity in my experience has been a very slow thing to get on top of and eliminate and not bagging other people I have removed from my experience.

2. The giving and receiving of support to and from others.

Life is meant to be lived through. Life is to know the perfect Will of God in your life; life is meant to be lived and exercised. The purpose of one’s life is to pay ones karmic Debt and then to enjoy oneself in this life. Giving and receiving support pays an important function in this life.

The most important thing is in the realization of giving support and receiving support. Give away freely to what you have attained. I have found growth in my life in the working with others. When working with others work from a comfortable place when giving and receiving support. Have abundance and peace in your life when working with others. Give away your experiences freely.

Work your 12 step program when giving and receiving. Let the Word of God live its life through and around you. Work the nine disciplines of the Soul these can be attained on the R.C. website. Give and receive life from the universe itself. Work in peace, patience and tolerance to others. Give and receive from the universe working away from the selfishness and self-centeredness of your own self.

In the R.C a pattern of a triangle has been introduced to bring people into a shift of Consciousness whereby they can have a much more rewarding life and help others to the uppermost. The two sides of the triangle are the Service line (preservation of life to everything in the universe) and the Support line (To elevate one from Selfishness and Self-centredness) At the Base are the nine practices of the Soul. In working from the triangle, one can bring oneself to the awaking process that is described in the 12th step of the 12 step program. Below I have included four important factors in the development of the above:-

A. Spiritual Experience.

B. The Rebirth.

C. The Teaching.

D. Principles before Personalities.

A. SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE

The terms spiritual experience and spiritual awakening are used many times in this book which, upon careful reading, shows that the personality change sufficient to bring about recovery from alcoholism has manifested itself among us in many different forms.

Yet it is true that our first printing gave many readers the impression that these personality changes, or religious experiences, must be in the nature of sudden and spectacular upheavals. Happily for everyone, this conclusion is erroneous.

In the first few chapters a number of sudden revolutionary changes are described. Though it was not our intention to create such an impression, many alcoholics have nevertheless concluded that in order to recover they must acquire an immediate and overwhelming God-consciousness followed at once by a vast change in feeling and outlook.

Among our rapidly growing membership of thousands of alcoholics such transformations, though frequent, are by no means the rule. Most of our experiences are what the psychologist William James calls the educational variety because they develop slowly over a period of time. Quite often friends of the newcomer are aware of the difference long before he is himself. He finally realizes that he has undergone a profound alteration in his reaction to life; that such a change could hardly have been brought about by him alone. What often takes place in a few months could seldom have been accomplished by years of self-discipline. With few exceptions our members find that they have tapped an unsuspected inner resource which they presently identify with their own conception of a Power greater than themselves.

Most of us think this awareness of a Power greater than ourselves is the essence of spiritual experience. Our more religious members call it God-consciousness.

Most emphatically we wish to say that any alcoholic capable of honestly facing his problems in the light of our experience can recover, provided he does not close his mind to all spiritual concepts. He can only be defeated by an attitude of intolerance or belligerent denial.

We find that no one need have difficulty with the spirituality of the program. Willingness, honesty and open mindedness are the essentials of recovery. But these are indispensable.

There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation. —Herbert Spencer

Joy and contentment are very important things in my personal journey and I practice the nine disciplines of the Soul to maintain them. To have joy is to come into the Oneness of this universe; and to come into the Oneness of the Soul Bodies is to bring about much joy in my life.

To be content I must be at Peace with myself and to enjoy what I am doing. By continual practice of the Steps, the traditions, principles before personalities, daily readings, doing twelve step work, practicing the Soul Disciplines; I then can have a contented life. Love is very important and to learn to love oneself has been very slow in my experience.

B. The Rebirth

In the rebirth God or Consciousness has put its Mind in us; all we have to do is put that mind on and come out from the Carnal or Mortal Mind and from that standpoint we in time come to the sixth sense (Intuitive sense). This is the beginning of the Spiritual path and the beginning of our walk to the usefulness to others.

From the triangle of Service; Support to others; and the discipline of the Soul, we eventually come to enlightenment if we are able to clean house and continue to pay our Karmic Debt to the Universe.

In the cleaning of house we abandon ourselves to Consciousness; to the belief that everything has been done and complete. The areas that we abandon ourselves are listed below -:

1. A belief in the Hope of a personal life outside of the Will of God.

2. A belief in the Hope of a personal sense outside of the Will of God.

3. The stand point that an attitude can do something.

4. The stand point that a value can do something.

5. The stand point that an old idea can do something.

6. The stand point that a judgment can do something.

All of the above have been crucified before the world began, so as the Life of God can express itself, all that we have to do is not to take on these things on in our walk with God or Consciousness and be an observer to the workings of that consciousness.

From Intuitive Sense there is the Heart Realm and also the Soul Realm. I use the heart realm in the service line of the triangle mentioned above, and the Soul realm I use in the Support line of that triangle.

The Soul line has nine discipline areas.

1. Some format of meditation and prayer.

2. To do somebody a good turn and not get found out; if anybody knows of it, it will not count.

3. A marketing process to the unfoldment of one’s walk and service to others.

4. To do at least two things I don’t want to do just for exercise.

5. To pay someone’s debt off and tell no one about it.

6. To make provision for the grandchildren.

7. Not show anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.

8. To stand in the Gap for others.

9. A Tithing practice.

In the Heart Line I do the Service line to the preservation of life from and with my marketing skills. There has to be a balance between the heart and the support lines and my personal life is walked from another line (straight down the middle of those two lines.) I use THREE separate financial records so as the balance of these FIVE areas can be kept in one line. Listed below are those areas:-

1. The Spiritual

2. The Material

3. The Emotional

4. The Mental

5. The Physical

C. The Teaching is based around SIX IDEALS.

1. To find the power of the Universe in one’s Life.

2. To alleviate one from Selfishness; Self-centeredness; Fear and Dishonesty.

3. To learn to Clean House.

4. To continue to pay one’s Karmic Debt to the Universe.

5. To come to enlightenment.

6. To take this message to others.
