Alcoholics are often very feeling people. Sometimes the world is just too difficult for them to take, so they self-medicate. But they must learn another way of being. Otherwise, it becomes destructive for themselves and everyone around them.
Sadly I had to end a budding friendship recently with a man named Adam because of his alcoholism, but it also taught me about how we create our own reality. He was bound and determined to be the "loser." Even though deep down inside he's not, he was determined to create that reality until I couldn't fight him anymore.
I'm reading Castaneda's books again. I don't know for sure, but I think this may be the fifth time. I'm really starting to get it. It's all about empowering ourselves, "storing up personal power," as don Juan says. There really is something to it.
I know because as I began to change my life, good things began to happen for me, things that have no rational explanation. The more time passed and I built up energy (power) around my new beliefs and desire for freedom, the good things expanded exponentially.
People (and I used to be one of them) believe certain things about money and the economy. As I have observed objectively, I have discovered that all those stories are based on fear and are not true.
The truth is that Spirit/Power/Abundance/the Abstract/the Goddess/Providence, whatever you want to call it, provides for me abundantly and always will. It is not dependent on anything I do. Whatever I need, when I need it, will always be there for me.
I used to have a belief that money equals freedom. Now I fully understand that the two are not bound together. To think they are is like saying "My cell phone will only work if I am wearing lip gloss." Well, you know what, if I believe that, then it's true. But guess what? My cell phone can also work when I'm not wearing lip gloss, if I know it to be true.
Of course, the rational materialists will balk at that. Let 'em. I've seen through my own experience that Spirit provides for me abundantly and always will. It places no conditions on those provisions other than my willingness to trust and receive it. That's magic.
You truly are blessed. You live in magic too. Just feel gratitude for it all the time and it will always be there for you.
