Stepping Outside – Step Three (Part 2)

Once again we are looking at step three in the context of how to apply these steps in the real world. At first blush, this program seems to be one that you can do these steps and be done with them and have them under your belt. This is certainly not the case. This step is probably the best example of that. It’s the step where we surrender, where we change our lives completely and have decided to turn to God in the everyday living of our lives. But we just don’t let go and let God take over. If that were the case, all I would have to do is make the decision and let go and let God! I’m not sure if it’s fortunate or unfortunate, but we still have our humanity. We still have this thing called our ego that would like to fight a lot of what God wants us to do tooth and nail. Another thing that we have is called “rationalization”, and this is what I would like to speak about today. No matter how clearly I think I hear the voice of my Spirit’s, my humanity sometimes wants to be define it into something that would be more in the interest of my body. I believe in this dualistic nature of my humanity it speaks to my soul and somehow things got a little mixed up in the translation between my soul and my body.
