In this 2nd episode, or 2nd part of this step, I am going to look at just what is meant (to me), to admit these wrongs to myself. Whereas the last part had to do with taking an honest look at my relationship with God, and basically, making sure we are on the same page, this part helps me to take a hard look at the human me.
Please, understand, these parts are not mutually exclusive. There will be a lot of overlap between them. After all, the goal is, at this point in my spiritual step program, I am beginning to feel my humanity being inextricably intertwined with my Spirit. This is the goal. Some (those that ascribe to a non-dualistic theology), that all that exists is God and Spirit and that it is all one. I do not. I believe my humanity is very much a vessel that can be spiritually directed to share the love of God. Either way, I believe we are not at odds here. The ultimate goal is to discover (remember, if you will), our loved and loving God self and apply it to whatever we perceive our lives to be.
