The 12 Steps A Pathway to True Inspiration

“In high moments of recognition of the light that transcends reason, man transcends himself, and writes ore wisely than he knows.” Emma Curtis Hopkins  “No man when in his wits attains prophetic truth and inspiration, but when he receives the inspired word his intelligence is enthralled.” –Plato

So, after an hour of meditation in the early hours of the morning, as the sun rises and the birds sing their joyful song, I read these words and am reminded that there is something so powerful beyond reason.  Our “wits” can not reveal “prophetic truth.”  When however, one is inspired then the “intelligence is enthralled!”  Wow!  Incredible!  I believe this is speaking to the re-organizing of priorities and emphasis of the places in our lives from which we move.  I mean, is it most important that I speak from my intellect and get involved in the game of right and wrong….because my ego sits dangerously close to my intellect in my being.  Or shall I seek to speak, move and have my being from a deeper place?  Shall I seek to move passed my wits into the seat of my soul, to the place of my intuition and my heart and my true power.  Yes!  Take me there.  But how then do I get passed the place that society has conditioned me so strongly to be?  How do I arrive at the place deep down in my soul that is calling me ever so lovingly? 

Ahhh, I take the next step in my 9^th step and write that email and make that call.  I say yes to the suggestions and continue to walk my path in my program. You see this program is a road map into the heart.  It is a road map with trails marked “humility,” “forgiveness” “honesty” and those trails lead to higher trails marked “true spiritual power” “freedom” & “integrity.”  I met with my sponsor after two weeks of having the assignment to make contact with someone on my amends list – you know, one of the doozies and someone who was a very powerful mentor in my life who is now becoming a colleague.  Although there is nothing inside screaming “don’t do this – I am scared” there IS something going on because I hadn’t even taken one baby step in the direction of contacting these people.  SO with the trail maps of wondrous life in mind… I take these next steps in my 9^th step.  I seek the th trail map that ultimately leads to my heart – my place of inspiration and joy.  I believe I am on the right path.  Just one step forward today is perfect J  Happy Trails.
