As I was looking at You Tube today (one place i look for inspiration to write these blog-articles), I came upon a trailer for a new Film: "Peace Is Every Step: Meditation in Action"...and in the trailer a man says "each of us has a War waging within our hearts."
This is powerful! Doesn't it underscore how we are Powerless over our addiction? Once a war starts in this physical realm, like Iraq...there is no winner! The war only begins to end when we can admit, we are powerless.
For us, as individuals, the war waging in our heart will always be lurking in the shadows, even after we have declared a Cease-Fire. For as soon as our tempting addiction object comes into view, an inner battle begins to brew.
Learn to be still. Learn to "do nothing" Practice meditation. Notice and Recognize the temptation...and let it stay just that...a temptation outside ourselves...that has no stronghold over us.
We have declared a cease-fire...and we are cultivating peace in our own hearts.
