Shamanic Practices for Patterns in Long-term Recovery

"...and Heaven is overrated?"

I love the line, “and Heaven is overrated?” from the song, Drops of Jupiter by Train, and this week we’ll use it as an entry point to explore how, once again, our A to Z linear perception of time keeps us in patterns that eventually outgrow their usefulness.

This is true, and becomes clear, as we get more & more sober-time under our belts.

We’ll then apply that awareness to The 4 Stages of Recovery, from Lesson #6 of the Alchemist Recovery Program, to take a new look at all-of-this through the perspective of Principle #2: Addiction is a Cycle.

And getting back to Heaven, I acknowledge - and am happy that - shamanic practice is not the only path to the top of the mountain, but rather, just one way to reveal what’s here, now, and right in front of us because...

The disciples asked Jesus, ““When will the kingdom come?”

To which he replied,”It will not come by expectation; the kingdom of the father is spread upon the earth and men do not see it.”

- the Gospel of Thomas

Blessings!
