No matter what is going on in external events, the real work is on the inside. "On earth...as it is in heaven." "The kingdom within". How many times am I captivated, mesmerized by the unfolding situations and riveting personalities presented by the world-at-large? Only, one more time, to forget myself, my part in it all, how I contribute to the messes by allowing myself to get sucked up into the "drama", the "games people play"? How I know "a game" is by the presence of 3 roles:
victim, persecutor, and rescuer. Simple. If I'm not playing one role, it switches off to another. That is how I know I'm playing. The only way to not play, to stop the B.S., is to be Honest, keep an Open-mind and the Willingness to accept. What a concept. Sounds so simple but hard as heck to do at times.
"Kick Me", "Little Red Riding Hood", "NIGYSOB" (Now I Got You, Son of a B.), "Alcoholic", etc. are some of the games and there are others. Jeesh. Playing games is such a way to waste time, money, effort and extremely seductive. Cunning, powerful, baffling indeed.
When I work the Steps everything changes. I get real. The B.S. stops right in its tracks. I stop relying on my mind, my best thoughts or other people, places and things and instead I rely on my Higher Power. The instant I do this everything changes. The matrix shifts. I get the heck out of the way...and hand it all over. Wow...let the show begin...Step 1...
