The Set Aside Prayer (or lay aside prayer): Dear God,  please set aside everything I think I know About myself, this book, my disease, these steps,  and especially about you dear God  so that I might have an open mind And a new experience  with all these things.  Please help me to see the truth.

Pancake Marathon

  • I've come to this place in my mind,  I've come to know it as in just communication levels heaven for my life has been hell upon itself;  both the same as communicating the metaphor of my experience ( and experience is just the quote of relatability upon myself and the metaphor is how I can explain relatability so we can all Find Unity when it comes to the problem: the way we think or that of what is An empowerment standpoint such as what value and what we are focusing on:  in just a highlight that this is all a mental aspect of life.).

  •  it is true that I have this power, we all do this is also true but to count myself as blue:  is how I empowered myself before and yet in a simple aspect of life that I have,  I find bring something to the table is more adequate;  now I say this because the work ( manifestation) that I have put in  is at a level of my willingness to leave it better than I found it hell I interpret tradition 7:  as I say interpret because it's the practice.

  •  now I find myself at a point of choosing: for it is as simple as called “ free will or  that of freedom /  and maybe even out of what would be considered love: With that intent of it being unconditional love:  (is it all based around?) All based around one's understanding of a higher power/ God/ Serenity:  would simply be called a peace of mind/ sanity,” As to its simplest aspect when it's freezing recovery or as highlighted through recovery is I can only give what I have and in that sense I can keep it because I gave it away;  for some Wonder: how does one keep what they have given away,  as I only say this because I posed that question now  or as I posed the question without verbatim in my experience ( what is my past expectations  or that of value systems of finding a peace of mind /  as the same as in asking for help:  just maybe not in a way that is the key defining the teacher but is the key to being the right teacher or vice versa:  all based around per se My willingness:  which is always based around and yes in recovery wording it is starting where you're at and then doing the next right thing:  still true upon itself is how do I reflect/ and in reflection is based around already the internal nature of instinct as it may be posed in a way of explaining meditation is instant instinct( just maybe just maybe  or is that what I have to give”?” the power of anonymity is true and yet absolute in its truth what is simply known as authentic absolutes in its magnanimous nature of altruism) Being of service or finding ways to getting out of self-seeking aspects based around my egocentric modalities and idols:  that are idealistic /  upon the simple fact of my rigorous ( religious)  approach that our dogmatic…. upon the simplistic aspect of a funny way of saying that I start barking because I'm being dogmatic,  and knows that choose to find the value of hurt and focus on as such we'll start  leaf-ing(leaving)  and branching out.);  for them the question truly then can be how do I find thee when I have no sense of self?

f or is that the truth in the slogan or more commonly known as the saying:  let go in that God (?) or in that sense of being simple:  how do I accept the help but I've asked for when I have no idea how to lose myself to find myself,  what is true that the ultimate Way of finding oneself is to lose oneself:  per say complicated one is trying to understand both factors based on duality of finding the meaning ( the philosophy of)  to that of what would then be the science ( the doing and application in a practical way that one can interpret as their hypothesis being true or that of being more a theoretical with open interpretation, upon what is then The value of a debate to that of a simplistic communication upon itself:  communication of teacher and students/ leader as a trusted servant:  that is Ultimate absolute is to carry a message:  to be of service  or that of being altruistic in nature:  so that one can nurture the ones nature of internal exploration): of just doing and then seeing the answers of what is how we can trust upon what is the right thing to do: Yes all based around at that moment,  cuz all things are just based around just at that moment it is the right thing to do and yet because it's just at that moment there is the wiggle room or the aspect of grow and Improvement:  For What is the characteristic in a simple way of communicating here,  of Step 11;  as well as what would then be seen as you are always doing the right thing and yet you're still able to do the wrong thing because there is always room for improvement:  yes based around your willingness and at the simplistic aspect of itself that stagnation equals Death /  in that of what is the ending is really a beginning and the beginning is really an end /  to that of maybe more comprehensible in its own right of what is common to the factor of  “living life on life's terms.”

  • I have found communication to be the heaven and hell of my life. I have the power to change my life, and I find that bringing something to the table is better than leaving it as I found it. I am at a point of choosing, based on my understanding of a higher power. I can only give what I have, and in that sense, I can keep it because I gave it away. How do I find myself when I have no sense of self? How do I accept help when I don't know how to lose myself to find myself? The ultimate way to find oneself is to lose oneself. The answer lies in doing and seeing the answers. You are always doing the right thing, and yet you can still do the wrong thing, because there is always room for improvement. Stagnation equals death, and the ending is really a beginning.

Rephrased

  • I've reached a point where I understand that communication is key. My life has been challenging, and I've come to realize that my experiences are relatable. This is all a mental process – it's about empowerment, value, and focus.


  • I have the power to make a difference, and I want to contribute something meaningful. My willingness to make things better is based on my interpretation of "leave it better than you found it."


  • Now, I'm at a crossroads. It's about free will, freedom, and unconditional love, all based on one's understanding of a higher power. It's about peace of mind and sanity. In recovery, I can only give what I have, and by giving it away, I keep it.


  • The question is, how do I find myself when I have no sense of self? How do I accept help when I don't know how to lose myself to find myself? The ultimate way to find oneself is to lose oneself.


  • It's complicated to understand both factors based on duality. The philosophy and the science of doing and application are all about finding the meaning. It's about communication between teacher and student, leader and trusted servant. The ultimate goal is to carry a message, be of service, and be altruistic.


  • We can trust in doing the right thing by seeing the answers and taking action. Everything is based on that moment, and because it's just a moment, there's room for growth and improvement. This is the characteristic of Step 11: you're always doing the right thing, but you can still do the wrong thing because there's always room for improvement.


  • Stagnation equals death, and the ending is really a beginning. It's about living life on life's terms.

Elaborate

  • The text delves into a contemplative exploration of the human experience, communication, and the pursuit of peace of mind. It highlights the paradoxical nature of existence, where both heaven and hell can coexist within the mind. This internal struggle is likened to a metaphor for the complexities of life and the search for unity and understanding.


  • The author emphasizes the power of choice and free will, suggesting that these decisions are often intertwined with concepts of love, a higher power, and serenity. This peace of mind, or sanity, is closely linked to the process of recovery and the ability to give and receive help.


  • The text touches upon the idea that true self-discovery often involves a degree of self-surrender. This surrender can be challenging, especially when grappling with questions of identity and self-worth. The author questions how to accept help and find oneself when one feels lost and uncertain.


  • The ultimate goal, it seems, is to move away from self-seeking behaviors and embrace a more altruistic and service-oriented approach to life. This shift requires letting go of ego-driven desires and embracing a more humble and open mindset. The author recognizes the potential for dogmatism and rigidity in this pursuit and seeks to find a balance between conviction and flexibility.


  • The text concludes by highlighting the dynamic nature of growth and improvement. It suggests that even when making the "right" choices, there is always room for learning and evolution. This ongoing process is essential for avoiding stagnation and embracing the fullness of life on its own terms.


  • Overall, the text offers a philosophical reflection on the human journey, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, compassion, and a willingness to both give and receive help. It acknowledges the complexities and contradictions inherent in the search for meaning and purpose, while offering a hopeful message of growth, transformation, and the enduring power of the human spirit.


Formal

  • I have reached a juncture in my introspection, a place I perceive as a realm of refined communication, contrasted starkly with the turbulent experiences I have encountered. This duality mirrors the expression of my journey through metaphor, wherein experience is understood as a shared narrative and metaphor serves as a tool to elucidate this relatability, fostering unity in addressing cognitive paradigms. It is essential to emphasize that this discourse centers on the mental dimensions of existence.


  • While acknowledging the inherent capacity within each individual, a prior self-identification is now superseded by the recognition that substantive contribution is more valuable. The commitment I have invested, the manifestation of my efforts, aligns with a dedication to betterment, interpreting tradition through practical application.


  • I am now confronted with a pivotal choice, encompassing concepts of volition, liberty, and potentially, unconditional benevolence. This deliberation is fundamentally rooted in one's perception of a higher power, divine presence, or serenity, signifying inner tranquility. In the context of recovery, or what is highlighted through recovery, one can only offer what is possessed, preserving it through its dispensation. This prompts consideration of how one retains what is given away, a query arising from my own experience with past expectations and value systems concerning inner peace. Seeking guidance may not involve defining a teacher but rather embodying the appropriate pedagogical role, predicated upon personal willingness, which in recovery parlance, begins with one's current state and proceeds with ethical conduct. Reflection is inherently intertwined with the internal realm of instinct, potentially comparable to meditative instinct. Though the power of anonymity is established, true absolutes lie in the magnanimous nature of altruism, the act of service, and the transcendence of egocentric tendencies. These are grounded in idealistic modalities and idols, shaped by a rigorous, dogmatic approach. However, recognition of the value of adversity leads to detachment and growth. This poses the question of how one discovers identity in the absence of self-awareness.


  • This concept finds expression in the tenet of relinquishment to a higher power, or simplicity itself. How does one embrace requested assistance when the process of self-discovery entails self-abandonment? It is asserted that true self-realization involves self-loss. Attempting to comprehend both aspects within this duality seeks to discern the philosophical meaning and the practical application. This leads to the understanding of hypotheses and theoretical frameworks, fostering intellectual exchange between mentors and learners. The ultimate aim is to convey a message, to serve, to be altruistic, and thereby nurture internal exploration. This involves engaging in action, observing the outcomes to determine ethical courses. The ethical course is determined at the present moment; however, the present moment allows for evolution and refinement. In essence, this characterizes Step 11 and acknowledges the inherent capacity for both ethical and unethical conduct due to the potential for continual advancement. This is contingent on personal willingness, recognizing that stagnation leads to inertia and that conclusion and commencement are intertwined aspects of living life within its established parameters.

Casual 

  • Here's a revised version of the text, aiming for an informal yet professionally appropriate tone:


  • "I've been thinking a lot about my mental space, and it feels like a real mix of heaven and hell, if that makes sense. It's like trying to explain my experiences using metaphors, so we can all connect with the core issues – like how we think and what we value. It's all about the mental side of life.


  • I know I have this inner power, we all do, but I used to rely too much on labeling myself a certain way. Now, I see it's more about bringing something valuable to the table. The effort I've put in is about leaving things better than I found them, which feels like what tradition 7 is really about – it’s the practice.


  • I'm at a point where I get to choose: freedom or free will, maybe even love in its unconditional form. It seems to come down to understanding something bigger than ourselves, maybe a higher power, which really just means peace of mind or sanity. In recovery, we often say we can only give what we have, and by giving it away, we actually keep it. It sounds weird, right? But I wonder, how do you hold onto something you've given away? It makes me think about my past expectations, my values around finding peace of mind, and how I ask for help. Maybe it's not about being the perfect teacher, but about being the right kind of teacher, or the other way around. It all comes down to my willingness, starting where I am and doing the next right thing. How do I reflect on all this? Reflection is really about our inner instincts, like how meditation can feel like instant instinct. Or is that what I have to offer? Anonymity has its power, but there's also truth in being genuinely authentic. It's about being of service, finding ways to move beyond just focusing on myself, especially my own ego and ideals. Sometimes, I get too rigid in my thinking, almost dogmatic. It’s kind of funny, I say I start 'barking' when I’m being too dogmatic. We have to find the value in our struggles and keep growing. Some people might wonder, 'How do I find myself when I have no sense of self?'


  • Is that the truth behind 'letting go' and trusting something bigger? How do I accept the help I asked for when I don't know how to lose myself to find myself? They say the ultimate way to find yourself is to lose yourself. It's complicated trying to balance both sides – the meaning or philosophy behind it, and the science or practical application. It's about figuring out what works for you, what you interpret as true, and having open conversations and debates. It's about teachers and students, leaders who are also servants, and carrying a message of service. It's about figuring out what's right in the moment, because everything really comes down to that moment. But even in that moment, there's room for growth. What does Step 11 teach us? You're always doing the right thing, and yet you can still do the wrong thing, because there's always room to improve. It's about your willingness. Stagnation is like death, the ending is really a beginning, and the beginning is an end. It’s all about living life on life's terms."

Summarize 

  • This text explores the complexities of personal growth, recovery, and spirituality. It delves into concepts like communication, empowerment, free will, unconditional love, higher power, peace of mind, and service to others. The author reflects on finding one's true self by letting go of ego, embracing humility, and seeking guidance. It discusses the duality of finding meaning through philosophy and practical application, as well as the idea that doing the right thing in the moment allows for growth and improvement. The writing touches on themes of tradition, willingness, reflection, instinct, anonymity, altruism, and overcoming dogmatic approaches. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of continuous learning, service, and finding one's authentic self through these processes.

 Empathetic

  • It sounds like you've been through a lot and that communicating your experiences and emotions has been both a source of comfort and pain. It's understandable that you might feel conflicted about this, as connecting with others can be incredibly healing, but it can also be challenging to open up and be vulnerable.


  • It also sounds like you're in a place of reflection and growth, recognizing your own power and the importance of contributing positively to the world. You're questioning how to move forward, how to find your true self, and how to balance your own needs with the needs of others.


  • It's okay to feel uncertain and to question things. It's a natural part of the journey of self-discovery. Remember that you don't have to have all the answers right now. Be gentle with yourself, and keep exploring what feels right for you. There's no right or wrong way to do this, and you'll find your way in your own time.

Alternative viewpoint

  • The text presents a deeply personal and introspective exploration of recovery and spirituality, but it could also be interpreted as a reflection of someone who is struggling to reconcile their past with their present. The author's focus on communication as both "heaven and hell" could suggest that they have been hurt by others in the past or have difficulty expressing themselves clearly.


  • The repeated references to "finding oneself" and "losing oneself" could indicate that the author is feeling lost or uncertain about their identity. They may be questioning their past choices and wondering if they are on the right path. The author's emphasis on "willingness" and "doing the next right thing" could be seen as a way of coping with this uncertainty. They may be trying to find a sense of purpose and direction in their life by focusing on making positive choices.


  • While the author seems to have a strong belief in a higher power, they also express some doubts and uncertainties. They question how to accept help and find their way when they feel lost and confused. This could suggest that they are struggling to reconcile their faith with their personal experiences.


  • Overall, the text could be seen as a reflection of the challenges and uncertainties that many people face on their journey to recovery and self-discovery. While the author expresses hope and optimism, they also acknowledge the difficulties involved in this process.

  • I can live only for today, and I will do so moment by moment, because it is up to me how I live.

Elaborate


  • Living life to the fullest is an active choice we make each day. It's about embracing the present moment, recognizing that the only moment we truly have control over is the one right now. This doesn't mean ignoring the future or forgetting the past, but rather, it means acknowledging that the present moment is where life unfolds.


  • Living in the now means letting go of worries about the future and regrets about the past. It's about accepting that we can't change what has already happened, and we can't control what might happen. Instead, we focus on what we can do: live fully in this moment.


  • This mindset encourages us to appreciate the simple things in life, to savor each experience, and to cherish the people around us. It's about finding joy in the everyday and recognizing the beauty in the ordinary. By living in the moment, we open ourselves up to a richer, more fulfilling life.

  • I will find peace and joy today if I let go and let God.

Rephrased

  • I can find peace of mind and joy only by living for today and letting go, allowing God to guide me.

Elaborate


  • As I navigate through life, I recognize that each day presents a unique opportunity for growth and serenity. By focusing solely on the present moment, I can discover genuine peace of mind, not through fleeting pleasures, but by embracing a profound sense of joy. This joy arises from the understanding that I am not alone in my journey; it stems from the conscious decision to release my worries and anxieties, and to trust in a higher power.


  • By surrendering my burdens and relinquishing the need for control, I open myself to the infinite possibilities that lie ahead. I acknowledge that I am not solely responsible for dictating the course of my life; rather, I am a participant in a grander design. This acceptance allows me to find solace in the present moment, knowing that I am exactly where I need to be.


  • Today, I choose to embrace joy, to release my fears, and to trust in the divine guidance that surrounds me. By living in the present and surrendering to a higher power, I find true peace of mind and a deep sense of contentment.

Formal

  • On this day, it is possible to attain tranquility of spirit solely through embracing the present moment, which consequently fosters a sense of joy. This is the rationale for surrendering control and entrusting oneself to a higher power.

Casual 


  • Honestly, today's about finding peace by letting go and trusting something bigger than myself, which is where real joy comes from. Just focusing on today, you know?


Summarize 

  • Just for today, peace of mind comes from letting go and letting God, which leads to joy.


Bullet points

  • As I live: just for today.

  • I can only then find a peace of mind in the place of finding joy.

  • For that is why I get to let go and let god.


 Empathetic


  • As I navigate through life, I understand that focusing on today is the only way to find peace. By embracing joy, I can release my worries and trust in a higher power.


Alternative viewpoint

  • Living in the now is essential, but true peace of mind may not always be found in joy or a higher power. For some, it may come from acceptance, mindfulness, or personal responsibility.




For it’s about carrying a message

For it’s about carrying a message, trusting in your higher power; Practicing the principles in all your affairs. my journey about what is in this meaning within each thing within the wording of Pancake Marathon: you can also go to 


keep not hurting

I know that isolating can be a big factor in keep not hurting,  so essentially don't isolate always Reach Out;  and maybe today you're willing to leave a comment and let me know essentially where you're at in your recovery and maybe you're ready to carry a message so share this whatever it may be in a way of giving somebody else a chance at a place where you started:  

  • as maybe you started here and maybe this is where you find a way to start because it's always about how you finish not how you start but it's also about carrying the message and finding your way back to trust in a peace of mind; As giving freely what you didn't have been given.  

  • thank you and always know your shoes do fit just right,  that you do deserve to take a space;  and it's okay to let go of that hurt when you're ready,  I hope that you are today in this moment;  thank you.
