How can we stay on course? 

We Know We Know. 
We Are Aware We Are Aware. 
We Are as We Are. 

Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune that are accurately called disorders. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse Nature’s Law and Order and our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and compound and degrade health.  

Mentality is a bodily function.  Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion.  

Principles affirm Our Indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality which is impossible to accomplish though we are free to try.   

Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible gibberish of ignorance - not reality.

Our discussion respects all twelve-step programs' tradition of anonymity so that we can speak openly about our associations without violating their suggested principles.  We also ask this tradition be respected at the level of press, radio, film and internet so that our participants if recognized are not disclosed at a public level beyond their choice to be heard.

Anonymity may be a chance to hide and avoid any stigma attached to our behaviors but in its essence, it is the chance to expose all that we share.   Anonymity is the faceless, placeless, persona-less; egoless essence of our existence. 

There is no discrimination or segregation in what cannot be separated - nor is there inequity or distinction in what is indivisible. Anonymity reflects the sum of all that we are rather than the stories we use  to identify our "selves" as distinct from others.   Anonymity is not divisive which is why it is the basis of Unity underlying all of the Traditions “ever reminding us to place principles before personalities”. Why? Principles precede, and exceed who we think we are which is thought’s premise for our persona - or personality - not who we are but what we think. 

Anonymity also protects any organization that represents any program  from being  tarnished by avoiding publicly pronouncing or disclosing our - or anyone else's - membership or association should we, once again, fall prey to any compulsive symptom.    

In any program we associate recovery with, we are uniquely qualified to help others similarly afflicted.  Talking openly is the chance to help where we might not always recognize a need.  As I was taught: we carry the message or the disease.  Both are a choice, both are contagious.  What we can think we do separately we do simultaneously since all that is happening is occurring presently, now - for all that is and all that are. 

It is common for the connotation of a word to narrowly reflect the divisive potential of thought.  Anarchy as a word is generally associated with violence.  Bill Wilson described the organization of AA as benign anarchy.  We are each free to do what we want and when we do what is best for the whole organizations flourish and affirmative acts provide great benefits for a broad audience and fulfillment and satisfaction, naturally for all involved. 

The utopian ideal of anarchy is Love.  Love does not need a ruler or rules to love.  What It Is, is what It gives.  Love Is our basis and ultimate guide.  There is no fight in Love as there are no parts or positions to take in what is indivisible. 

Opening, or considering, this concept is the chance to see that we are always capable of acting our best even when we don’t think so revealing how thinking can intercede in ways that does not reflect our nature and so does not express our full beneficial or benevolent capacity. 

The mental obsession does not only underlie glaringly obvious compulsions but all reactive and impulsive behaviors.  The mental obsession is an equal opportunity for anyone who thinks what is wrong is right, or what is right, is wrong.   Mentally obsessive thoughts do not discriminate any more than an Absolute Loving Source can give or take or come and go,  or not be All It Is for all that is and all that are, including not surprisingly you. 

We share an Absolute Knowing Present Awareness.  When a foundation is solid only the structure built on it can be shaky. When we feel shaky it is the weakness of our “self-centered”  thought that we feel.  We are aware but have not well exercised our awareness in though.  That is what we are here to do for you as it is for us.

Some considerations: 

Truth, Reality, and Love cannot be denied - no matter what we think - and our human experience of suffering is evidence we know this since we know more than we think, we know better.  Pain is our frank, honest, immediate admission we know something is wrong.  

There is no addiction, loss, condemnation, pity, guilt, or shame in Truth, Reality, and Love. There is no escape from what is essential whole while there is no condemnation in what is absolutely abundant, supportive, and generous.

What is True, Real, and Loving is what we share, since it is all there is.  What is inviolable cannot be extinguished; It's light cannot be put out, It's warmth cannot be cooled, It's beginning cannot end.  

There is no discrimination, segregation, or inequity in what is indivisible, essential, and non-negotiable.  Letting go of what is Absolute is having it since it cannot be contained or held in thought.  What we think can be held is only a thought holding what it is thinking about. Truth need not be held or told to be True.  We cannot have our own truth or reality since it cannot be something for each of us if it is not everything for all of us.  

It is not grandiose or arrogant to imagine our Source as Infinite, it is grandiose and arrogant to imagine it is not - if it is.  

We are not afraid of the unknown.  We are afraid of what we know when we think we can hide it or from it. 

We are not afraid to die, we are afraid to live.  To live as though our life depends on defending lies, to save us from exposure, is to create the threat we claim our defensiveness is protecting us from.  Addiction is a lie and so twists and squirms like a worm to give the appearance it is making progress.  

There is no greater vulnerability than to protect something that has no life, as though it does.  For what use would protection that creates the threat be?  Lies infect our human experience like a contagious plague.  Lies are no more than we make of them and when we think what is not true is real, we think we are tasked with the creation of truth and reality and are repulsed and embarrassed by all we think we see.  

What is happening is always happening.  What is happening is the sum total of all that has ever happened and all that is happening as it is happening, now.  To think things should be as we think they should be is to not think of what is happening but what we think.  Shortcomings and going are thoughts circling themselves like buzzards, taken seriously.  Mistakes trigger misgivings.  

Remember, when life seems impossible, it is only an impossible thought, acted on as though it is true, that we are experiencing.

Some topics covered in this clip: 


Learning is a function of the brain to help realize the body’s capacity. Learning does not make things work but comes to terms with how things have always worked.

Thinking never knows and knowing never thinks - until thought expresses all that is known.  
Thought has no impact on Knowing while they dramatically impact our human experience. To think we are only what we think is to wear the depressing weight of a lie.  

Knowing does not learn or think and cannot be undone or let go of.  Knowing is not at risk or in question so has no doubt, does not reason, understand, or think.  Knowing does not change as thought and all other things change. Knowing is stable while obsessive thought is doubt-full.  

An Absolute Source cannot be let go of, escaped from nor can we be condemned to it. We cannot defend it since it is not at risk.  What is indivisible is essential, indefensible, and neutral since its basis is not relative, it has no sides to oppose.  

An Absolute Source is unrestricted and abundant while any seeming obsessive source is constrictive as it relies on going in circles that shrink.  We know the difference between ease and dis-ease: discomfort, disturbance, and inner conflict.  If we didn't know better we would not recognize what is wrong.  

If what IS, IS, it is not a coincidence that when we decide to look - we "see" our knowing, present, awareness since it never leaves. Neither is it a coincidence when all we think we have to do is think more about what we think we feel.  

Physical fear is designed to protect us.  Self-centered imagined fear reverses our instinct and acts against our favor putting the body at risk in the name of killing self that does not exist. To kill the entire body to stop obsessive thoughts is a good example of how seriously we think what we think about our-selves is true and real.  

Irresponsible thoughts lead to irresponsible conclusions and enacted on; behaviors.  Mentally obsessive thought is addicted to irresponsible conclusions and acts to undermine all forms of health and well-being.  Social ills are the broader reflection of our collective participation in this form of thought.  

Learning is beginning to unlearn the habitual habits used, the stories we tell, and the fixed belief systems we think are true.  There is no effort in knowing and there is no effort in undoing and letting go of what has no basis.  Our exercise is not learning to redevelop new wrong ways but noticing the wrong ways we think are right are maintained by continuing to oppose them.  We have no obligation to continue since we are free to do whatever we want. If we are entertaining them and witnessing their impact it is our choice to do so "right" now that promotes the dis-ease or ease of the natural healing cycle.  

Stay tuned.

Our universe is based on principles that provide its functional capacity.  All that is happening is happening now with or without our thinking or understanding. Reality does not change, so does not happen, while It Is Absolutely Present as the  stable basis for all that happens. No position in thought, no matter how extreme, will improve or reduce our present state of Mind though thinking such thoughts to be true and real will destabilize our mentality. 

There is an order of operations in our universe.  Lies have no place since they have substance.  Things are not how they seem or appear - things are as they are. Using lies as a basis for reality is to lie about not wanting the consequences we create.  Irresponsible thoughts produce irresponsible conclusions. 

To think opposites exist apart from each other is to miss the common ground between their extremes. To take one position confirms all other positions can be taken. It is not an accident that opposites attract since it is the natural order of things.  The polarity of magnets is a good example.  If you try to match the positive sides you will meet opposition. Opposites attract since they are connected by the common ground between them. In fact opposites are never apart so aligned they are not out of order. 

Nature is as easy as it is simple. Complicating it is just as easy while not simple. Passing a magnet over another will attract its proper order without effort.  Nature is built into all the systems of operations in our universe and that includes how we operate and think.  

Inner conflicts, emotional turmoil and mental anguish reveal our repulsion to maligned thought and our outer fights and contempt-full opinions about the heavens, the world and its people evidence how far we'll go to fight for what is wrong to try to shield our thinly veiled involvement and righteous claims.  

There is no righteousness, effort or fight in Truth.

To look through the lens of obsessive thought is ro only to see and hear what we think. This distraction is unattractive or repulsive.  Anything that appears limited or appears to limit what we can see, like a horizon, is actually the beginning of all else, never an end or the end of anything or everything else.  

Not looking does not dismiss what there is to see. We know better even while our twisted thoughts squirm and turn as we try to look as though we don’t. Our basis for existence is intact if it were not we would not suffer from self-inflicted struggles, anxious "dis-orders", feeling wrong, bad, disconnected, less-than, or alone.  We are not what we think and we know better than we think and thus act out of order. 

Having things as they are, which is how they always are, has no opposition so begs no distraction as peace is our natural attraction to all that is and all that are.

Questions to start our next trio’s trilogy:

Jackie:
How to maintain Being while doing?

How to know that you have what you need when you need it?

Gabe:
“How do we live a fully aware life on a daily basis?”

“Are we to carry this message directly to others, or is proselytizing a desire of ego?”

Some points from this conversation: 

• Conceding we know we know and are aware we are aware.  
• Actions suggest we are actors and character defects suggest the parts we choose to play are defective once we think they're real - and who we are. 
• Time as an illusion; past and future as concepts. 
• Sick thoughts. 
• Responsibility - and our capacity to act irresponsibly.  
• Freedom to act wrong is an indication of a Loving Source and Absolute Freedom. 
• Feeling wrong and mental anguish are the clarity of what is right and knowing better. 
• Pain is a guidance system to offer perspective on what we are thinking.  
• Contrary actions reverse contrary thoughts.  
• Dashed expectations and hope reflect the vain idea that possibility should only be what we think we want.  
• If it is possible to be freed from any compulsive symptom we are free to be free from obsessive thoughts. 
• If we can make a disease worse there's a great chance we can think and act  better.  
• To see all people are better than we think gives them due credit. 
• We're all better than the low levels we stoop to make-believe lies can be true. 

Threads to our third conversation:

Jackie:  Walking the walk, practicing Peace as Being Peace.  Always having everything needed. Not needing to be needed. 

Gabe: Conceding. Carrying this message.  How to see others are more than we think.

Two questions left from Alyssa and Sturgis III:

Alyssa: 

What becomes possible with access to an Ever Present Knowing Awareness?  

Strugis: 

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread - why do we focus on “fools rush in” while the second part is “where angels fear to tread” where awe and essence and reality are not?  

Why must we almost die to wake up to the reality and awe of an absolute present awareness?  How can we have more reverence for the natural awe we share?  

A brief outline of topics from this conversation:

• Why do we think we need to die to have a Spiritual Awakening?  
• The thought “life” of ego is only what we think of our self.  
• Thought is hard to let go of.  
• Age vs. maturity.  Numbness is not the absence of pain but evidence of it.  
• Claiming pain is truth tries to avoid its guidance that something is wrong. 
• Lies and the seeming reality of the past and future only exist as concepts in thought.  It is impossible to let go of what we think we don’t have.  
• There is no loss in what is Absolute.  
• All that exists is present, now.  
• Responsibility, Choice, and Freedom as principles of human functional capacity. 
• The choice to be aware, happy, react or exercise our response-ability. 
• Thought as our greatest threat. 
• Fighting for ideas or ideals that aren’t ideal.  
• Consider conflicted thoughts are lies.  
• Lunacy is popular.  
• Self-consciousness is defined.  
• God made in man's image and likeness has human traits; give and takes.  
• We’d be better off if cannibals ate themselves. Yet while obsessive words eat 
• themselves we insist on thinking we can't stop.  
• Turning Self-pity, contempt, and spite into compassion.  
• Why do people struggle to feel better and not worse? 
• Turbulence managed.  Turbulence witnessed. 
• Unrealized emotion is realized as tension in our bodies. 

Two questions to carry into Jackie, Gabe, Jack II:

Jackie:  How to take actions toward practicing peace on earth to be the change I want to see.  

Gabe: Thread of choice and decision making based on thought - and the embarrassment for what “we’ve” become.  Who we think we are is what we think, not reality or truth.  How can a brain get around thinking is not all there is?  What’s the motivation to lie?  

PS: 

Human’s think and Beings know.  Thinking is what humans do, Knowing is what Being IS. 

When we introduce thought to our knowing awareness, thought is no longer tasked with trying to do and be what it cannot do or be.  What is easy is not complicated.  

We Know We Know. 
We Are Aware We Are Aware. 
We Are as We Are.
