Step 8 2008

This year I have realized 5 aspects of spiritual housecleaning in making amends:

To clean up the messes of an unmangeable life - This is to make material restitution and remove the burdens and obstacles to a manageable life.

To clear up the "karma" - This is to make things right on the spriritual plane.

To connect with people - This is the initial process of rebuilding relationships which is an integral part of leading a contentful life.

To communicate my condition to others - It is important that the people close to me (where prudent) understand my condition and new life.

To cultivate my humility - It is very easy to think my humility but to do the steps is to act it.

Making amends is to build my humility and build my spiritual fitness.
This vitalizes (makes alive) and, is vital to, my spiritual experience.
