"If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." -- Jesus (Matthew 15:14)
I need to understand before I can teach; I need to listen before I give advice; I need to associate myself with the "winners" to become a winner.
For years I sought advice and direction from those who did not understand. They tried to help but they did not understand. Today I understand that part of my denial and manipulation was choosing those who did not understand to help me. This way I could stay sick!
My spiritual journey involves seeking out those who have that "something" that I want --- and being willing to follow their directions; I surrender to live.
Teach me to develop the spiritual ego that is teachable.
