Sept. 15, 2020 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2020
Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
We are biological beings who manifest intentions. Imagine that we wake up in the morning with a desire to eat a specific food. This is just a thought formed in our mind. Then, with some focused attention and actions, available supplies, and some minimal skills, we are eating our creation fifteen minutes later. This is how the whole game of life operates, though not quite so fast and efficiently.
Through combining the motivation of desire with informational knowledge and practical skills, we have the capacity to generate in the physical world what began simply as thought energy. This is true magic, and it is always available to every one of us. However, there are some techniques and rules of the game that make us more effective players, just as in the video gaming universe. Once we understand the basic structure of how using intentions to manifest reality works, we still need to practice, except we learn to do this in the real world rather than losing ourselves inside a gaming console. We each have a fairly predictable future, based on our past. Unless we shift something, we will continue to get what we have always gotten rather than what we intend or desire.
I am realizing the magnificent and magical power of creating clear intentions.
