As the Universe and as my Life!

Writer's picture: John ValloneJohn Vallone
















I have a card from a Spiritual Center and it states on 2 of it's five basic principles:


"There is only one Presence and one Power active as the universe and as my life, God the Good."


and another:


"Through prayer and meditation, we align our heart-mind with God"


Now I love that they used the word "as the universe and as my life"


and not in, or of, or with?


Active as the, we are not the universe and we are not this life!?


We are the Immortal Soul, which has no physical matter about it.


And also the second one i put there, we align our heart-mind with God.


"Wisdom and love, when combined, produce peace and poise." This statement I took out of a book by Cora Dedrick Fillmore.


With all this said, what am i after?


All these statement touched me, and i wanted to share on them. The 11th Step of AA states:


"Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power ti carry that out"


This Step, of course with all the others, saved my life, but this step in perticular grabbed me and had a hold on me from the very first read. My sponsor while working the steps with me, and we do them in order for good reasons, however he suggested while we were working on stspes one, two and three, I read the 11th step out of the AA book, 12x12, The 12 Steps and 12 Traditions of AA. And I did and it was an enormous help for me. When I came into AA I was a non believer of anything belonging to religion, I was brought up around and in a religious school and church that i and my sister only went to?


Leaving 8th grade and entering into the public school system my folks never bothered me about church again, and i was free, lol...for awhile...As we understood God, AA gave me the fredom to choose what I thought God, or Higher Power as some use, was, or is, or whatever I had to think, feel, know, be to have this now in my life and for me at least save my life from ever picking up that first drink again, and it worked now for the last 19 plus yrs.


"There is only one Presence and one Power active as the universe and as my life, God the Good."


"Through prayer and meditation, we align our heart-mind with God"


"Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power ti carry that out"


We all need our own understanding, we all need to join heart and mind together for a balanced love, and i believe that "There is only one Presence and one Power active as the universe and as my life, God the Good."


What ever you believe I respect your beliefs, Namaste', but without love in our heart-mind I feel we are out of balance, and this world is certsinly out of balance, lets all get grounded in heart-mind love...


peace n joy to all my
