Today's Headlines: "Passenger tries to open plane door mid-flight"
Apparently, on a flight between Greece and Manchester several young alcoholic girls in their mid-twenties where drinking too much, angry at the flight attendant who would not serve them any more, hit the flight attendant with a bottle of whiskey and then decided, the whole ordeal being too much for them, that some fresh air was necessary, and attempted to open the door at 32,000 feet. The plane had an emergency landing in Frankfort, the girls were arrested, given a breathalyzer test, sure enough they were drunk, put back on the place, and sent home to England. The story is humorous, nevertheless, we need to examine in what ways we are drunk and trying to open the plane door at 32,000 feet in the flights of our own lives.

Today's Headlines: "Chaotic Debate on Major Vote in India"
Chaos by its very nature is haphazard, mixed up, unclear, and confused. Matters that are debated and decisions that are made in an atmosphere of chaos will have chaotic outcomes. When debating important issues and making big decisions we should do so with clear level heads. We should not be afraid we remove ourselves from chaos when making important decisions.

Today's Headlines: "Obama Arrives In Iraqi City of Basra"
I don't know what exactly Senator Barack Obama was doing in the Iraqi city of Basra, but one thing is for certain, it was in order to put him in good standing towards being elected as President of the United States. One thing we can learn from this is that if their is something that you really want and you have made up your mind to achieve it, you will do whatever it takes and go where ever you need to in order to accomplish your goal. There is no getting in the way of firm convictions. The Rabbi of Lubavitch encouraged some one with the words, "if you seek you will find." Indeed, that seeker did find.

Today's Headlines: "Government trying to figure out why massive crane fell"
A tragedy happened. A massive crane fell and people where hurt. We grope for answers, after all, that is human nature. There exists a level of maturity in which we do not need to search for answers. One who arrives at this level of maturity is able to accept that not every question needs an answer and not every problem needs to be solved. This level of maturity embraces silence and accepts that there are times when the best solution is to give a heartfelt sigh from deep within. It would be wise of us to acknowledge this level of maturity and set it as a goal for ourselves.

Today's Headlines: "World's most expensive house sold in French Riviera"
Today somebody bought a beautiful home on the French Riviera for 500 million dollars. That's allot of dollars. I live in a beautiful home for a fraction of the cost (much less than a million). I have a beautiful view. My home is perched on a mountainside. The air is fresh. It would seem to me that rather than spending 500 million on a home, we would be wise to live someplace that is worth 500 million dollars to us, even if the real estate assessors say differently. As far as I'm concerned, the view from my porch is worth 500 million.

Today's Headlines: "Pope to apologize for abuse by priests in Australia
This just goes to show (and to remind us) that know matter how successful, powerful, or prestigious a person is, we are never beyond making amends and saying that two word spiritual formula: "I'm sorry."

Today's Headline's: Barak Obama forgets one detail for Hillary Rodham Clinton
After delivering a speak, asking people to help cover the cost of Hillary Clinton's campaign, Obama forgot to make the request that money be given. Upon remembering, he walked back on stage and sheepishly made the request. It was serve us well to learn from Obama that friendship and camaraderie is possible and doable even amongst former antagonists (or running mates). Let us take a moment to identify people in our lives who where former adversaries to whom we can now lend a helping hand--doing so is a spiritual step.

Beyond Insight
The following was sent to me by Jack at The Lazarus House. I think my readers will enjoy.
JULY 7 – BUILDING BLOCK 19 – SELF-KNOWLEDGE RELAPSE PREVENTION SERIES IS SELF-KNOWLEDGE THE ANSWER TO ADDICTION? “A certain American business man had ability, good sense, and high character . For years he had floundered from one sanitarium to another. (They didn’t have treatment centers in those days.) He had consulted the best know American psychiatrists; yet could not stop drinking. Then he had gone to Europe, placing himself in the care to the celebrated physician (the psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung.) He finished his experience with unusual confidence. His physical and mental condition were unusually good. Above all, he believed he had acquired such a profound knowledge of the inner working of his mind and its hidden springs that relapse was unthinkable. Nevertheless, he was drunk in a short time. More baffling still, he could give himself no satisfactory explanation for his fall.” (A.A. Page 26)
“Those of us who suffer from addiction, with hardly an exception, will be absolutely unable to stop drinking or using drugs on the basis of self-knowledge. This is a point we wish to EMPHAIZE and RE-EMPHASIZE, to smash home upon the person reading this information, as it has been revealed to us out of bitter experience.” (A.A. Page 39)
JULY 10– BUILDING BLOCK 22 – THE SOLUTION.RELAPSE PREVENTION SERIES. (Attachment may be easier to read.)What “wisdom” did the original members of A.A. pass on to us regarding this matter? “There was nothing else for us to do but to “pick up” the simple kit of “spiritual tools” laid at our feet.” (A.A. Page 25)Some alcoholics and drugs addicts may think they can do without spiritual help. Let us tell you about a conversation one of our members had with his renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Carl Jung. He had spent six months under Dr. Jung’s care and believed the “self-knowledge” he acquired was the answer to his problem; that he would never pick up a drink again, but he relapsed. Upon meeting with Dr. Jung, the doctor said: "You have the mind of a chronic alcoholic. I have never seen one single case recover, where that state of mind existed to the extent that it does in you." Our friend felt as though the gates of hell had closed on him with a clang. He said to the doctor, "Is there no exception?" "Yes," replied the doctor, "there is. Exceptions to cases such as yours have been occurring since early times. Here and there, once in a while, alcoholics and drug addicts have had what are called vital spiritual experiences. To me these occurrences are phenomena. They appear to be in the nature of:1. Huge emotional displacements and rearrangements. (Fear to courage, resentments to forgiveness.)2. Ideas, emotions, and attitudes which were once the guiding forces of the lives of these men and women are suddenly cast to one side, and a completely new set of conceptions and motives begins to dominate them. In fact, I have been trying to produce some such emotional rearrangements within you. With many individuals the methods which I employ are successful, but I have never been successful with an alcoholic of your description." Upon hearing this, our friend was somewhat relieved, for he reflected that, after all, he was a good church member. This hope, however, was destroyed by the doctor's telling him that while his religious convictions were very good, in his case they did not spell the necessary vital spiritual experience. Here was the terrible dilemma in which our friend found himself when he had the extraordinary spiritual experience, which as we have already told you, made him a free man. We, in our turn, sought the same escape with all the desperation of drowning men. What seemed at first a flimsy reed, has proved to be the loving and powerful hand of God. A new life has been given us or, if you prefer, "a design for living" that really works. The distinguished American psychologist, William James, in his book ‘Varieties of Religious Experience,’ indicates a multitude of ways in which men and women have discovered God. We have no desire to convince anyone that there is only one way by which faith can be acquired. If what we have learned and felt and seen means anything at all, it means that all of us, whatever our race, creed, or color are the children of a living Creator with whom we may form a relationship upon simple and understandable terms as soon as we are willing and honest enough to try. (A.A. Page 27-8)“Every few days, Dr. Silkworth “suggests” our approach to one of his patients. Understanding our work, he can do this with an eye to selecting those who are willing and able to recover – on a spiritual basis.” (A.A. Page 162)Are we “suggesting” the same solution today, or have “meetings” become the “God” who keeps us clean and sober? Meeting makers make it. Has the “message” “We decided to go to any lengths to FIND a spiritual experience been replaced with “We decided to go to any lengths to AVOID picking up a drink or drug.” What do you think? Namaste, (The light in me honors the light in you.)Jack
Thanks Jack

Today's Headlines: "Paradise regained? Fire crews gaining on California blaze
Although when hit with difficult times, we may not be able to restore our assets to what they might have been before "fire," that does not exempt us from fighting those flames. Our assets may increase after the "disaster" or the paradise after the disaster might simply be a different kind of paradise after the disaster. An example of this is Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii. The active volcanoes are constantly changing the scenic beauty of the park so that todays beauty is always different from yesterday's beauty. Nevertheless, we must actively fight those fires as they crop up in our lives. How do we do that? The answer: Self-empowerment.

In Today's Headlines: "McCain orders campaign shape-up"
Just as McCain called for a campaign "shake-up" when things weren't looking to promising for him, so too in our own personal life campaigns, the campaigns each of us live on a daily basis, when things aren't going the way would like them to we need to call for a "campaign shake-up." We can do this by having a telephone conversation with a life coach, going for a walk, getting some exercise, writing a book, or simply doing something extraordinary.

Miracles happen. We see this time and time again. When all appears hopeless that is when the miracle will happen. In addiction recovery this concept is referred to as "rock bottom." So long as we remain open to possibility, possibility will remain open to us.
