Letting Go of Resistance

The Inner Work Journey

Beschreibung

I have learned through challenging life issues that living in the past can evoke unnecessary misery and heartache. However, I have also learned that visiting the past on occasion can bring forth priceless treasures. To retrieve those priceless treasures and to achieve spiritual enlightenment, I have used inner work, a philosophy of reaching within, as a passageway to spiritual development. The inner work philosophy has taught me to look within for solutions and to recognize the unhealthy part of my being. Furthermore, inner work has taught me to take responsibility for my impaired decision-making skills rather than to blame others when things go wrong. Letting Go of Resistance: The Inner Work Journey is an account of how, with persistence and hard work and by practicing the principles of Inner Work, I pulled myself out of the bowels of hell. As the victim of child abuse, domestic violence, drug and alcohol dependency, and ultimately, recovery, I learned things about myself that I would never have believed possible. Living in the solution, that's what this book is about!

Autor

My childhood was not the most ideal. My involvement with drugs and alcohol, admitting that I had a problem, the steps I took to turn my life around, and what I have done with my life since they are shared in the pages of this book. I felt it was important to tell others how they too could use the principles of inner work as a passageway to retrieve their priceless treasures from the past in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment. I was born in 1942 in the South Bronx, a borough of New York City. Both of my parents were first-generation Puerto Rican's who came to New York seeking a better life. My father was a rageaholic; my mother, a compulsive gambler; and my siblings were all chemically dependent. (My oldest and youngest sisters were food addicts, and the rest of us were alcohol or drug dependent.) I thought I would die a drunk in the streets of New York until one day I said no more, I'm done. I was introduced to a recovery program, and my life began to take on new meaning. I found hope again, and my spiritual growth began in earnest. The emotional state of constant anxiety and fear that was permeated by long periods of despair and suicidal thoughts and attempts began to dissipate. I cannot say exactly when, but I suddenly became aware that a miracle had taken place. Forty-Two years later I'm still clean and sober.
