Lesson 19
Lightening My Load Through Action. We don’t think our way to right action, we act our way to right thinking. I’ve heard that self-correction philosophy repeated countless times at Twelve Step meetings regardless of the vice being addressed. The concept has existed for centuries as evidenced by a Buddhist precept: “My actions are my only true belongings.”I am not measured by how Ithink or feel but instead bywhat I do.
Lesson 20
Grace As Humility: An Award-Winning Performance. The pursuit of Grace cannot be accomplished without the exercise of humility. Until my Self’s sense of grandiosity has been controlled and contained, I cannot move forward on Grace’s path. Humility is the key unlocking the door to Self-surrender. Like every other step I have taken on my path to Grace, developing genuine humility required action.
Lesson 21
Looking Past Distorted Mirrors. Attending law school was never my plan after college. I instead wanted to pursue a career in film and television by attending one of the country’s best film schools at the University of Southern California. However, given the fierce competition, it was extremely difficult to gain entry. I discovered that through admission to USC’s law school, I could enroll in its School of Cinema’s graduate courses. Better yet, the law school would allow film school credits to be applied towards my law degree. From that educational platform, I would be able to kick-off my entertainment career.
Lesson 22
A Window to Objectivity. Refining my sight required that I learn how to look beyond the distorted mirrors of others. The reverse holds true when peering into a clear mirror. Without other Eskimo’s objective eyes seeing what I cannot, I will remainblinded by my Self’s hidden distortions. I must therefore pay careful attention whenever another Eskimo identifies a problem seen in my mirror.
Section VI Preview
Having gained some measure of dominion over my Self, I was finally learning how my conscience communicates with me. That inner voice does not actually speak. There is no exchange of words. In fact, rather than a conversation, my conscience usually provides me with not much more than encouragement or verification. Of course, that voice also servesas my Sergeant-at-Arms, saying“No” to anything which might interfere with my access to a truth or its expression.
Lesson 23
When Mater Met Glenda. The simplest way to explain the relationship Glenda and I share is by observing the couple featured in the motion picture When Harry Met Sally. Viewing the movie left us spooked, almost as though someone had been reading our mail, given so many eerie similarities.
