  %SEEK FIND ASK GIVE PEACE SERENE COLLUSION ADDICT 890418

     The statement "Seek and ye shall find." points to the
reality   that  people  who  are  trapped  in   collusive,
addictive and codependent behavior often do not find peace
and serenity because they do not honestly seek it,  do not
honestly ask for it.

     Those  who  do  honestly seek peace,    serenity  and
integrity find it in the fullness of time,  in the eternal
now of authentic relationships; with their whole being.

     Those  who  seek  to  achieve  control  through   the
techniques  of  collusions,  addictions  and  codependency
discover that they can control very little,  no matter how
hard  they  try  to deceive themselves  and  others  about
themselves,  their powers,  and their actual and potential
accomplishments.

     To transcend collusions, addictions, and codependence
a  person  must  have  become  disillusioned  with   their
patterns of delusions and self deception;  and be  seeking
other  ways of living which are not characterized by games
of  mutual  self deception.  There must  be  authentically
seeking for alternatives to the present unsatisfactory way
of  life.   There  must  be a decision  that  the  present
paradigm  is unsatisfactory,  and a conviction that  there
must be a better way of life which is worth seeking.   The
present  life must seem so bad that it is clear that other
people are living a better life which is worth seeking  in
openly honest ways.

     Those who seek  openly  and honestly,  find realities
which are miraculous to those who are blinded by games  of
mutual self deception. Miracles are events which transcend
human  conception  at the time of the miracles.   Miracles
appear  impossible because of human games of  mutual  self
deception.   Recovery  from  collusions,   addictions  and
codependency is miraculous to those who are imprisoned and
have just started to seek recovery.  Recovery is a  threat
to  those  who  have not started to  seek  recovery;   for
recovery  exposes all the dishonest games of  mutual  self
deception   which  are  essential  to  the   paradigm   of
collusions, addictions and codependency.
