Solutions to sin
The solutions for sin is to rely on your Higher Power to change your heart and heal your mind. He did mine when I asked for help years ago. But it was a long process to reach the other side of compulsion and addiction. Some deliverances come instantly while others we work for. To be sure…while human we are never perfect. We are subject to the human condition however being in bondage to sin is of the dark side of life. It requires spiritual help from the Light of Love.
Silent meditation is priceless in moving toward change. Personally I started practicing meditation with a mantra during meditation. The Lord’s prayer over and over and over until I trained my mind to concentrate upon only one thing.
We must train the mind to stay in one place on one thought or we won’t grow toward truth & self awareness. Silent meditation will start our journey into clearing the wreckage of the past. In seven years every trauma, hurt, hate, resentment, surfaced to be cleared away by processing. Processing is writing, and expressing the emotion attached to the repeating memory. No matter what there is no wrong feeling.
Know this….most abused children have no clue that they were emotionally abused growing up. And we were all programmed by TV and our parents, and social programing by education systems.
Most everyone has trauma to clear away. If not we shall go through life having no idea who we really are. And continually we shall project our harsh emotional condition onto others. Blame will be our bedfellow and self loathing will be our manna.
Meditation is vital to releasing one’s mind from the chains of social slavery. However once Truth and self awareness are your banner you will be alone in a room full of other humans.
And no one will understand you.
Start by working the 12 steps thoroughly and courageously. Take step eleven very seriously. Do step 12 for seven years. Join a 12 step group where you can express yourself openly. Do speaker meetings and you will gain confidence to be who you REALLY are.
