JANUARY

Does anybody want to celebrate the completion of a Step or a Tradition in Christs Anonymous by sharing his/her experiences with that Step or that Tradition in our meeting today after the group readings?

In Christs Anonymous, we had an urgent need to break free from our addiction to our thinking mind, our Ego, so that we could become able to experience and identify our self with our true Self, our Spirit, and thus be led to Joy of Being.

If you feel compelled to think a thought, put yourself on a `five minutes at a time’ basis to abstain from taking your addiction to your thinking mind, your Ego into use.

Each of us expresses our Neutral Point differently depending on our individual experiences and unique ways of expressing ourselves.

January 27: The thinking mind, the Ego

The real miracle happens when you realize that your Mind has become completely still and has thus become the sounding board for your Spirit, and as a result, you begin to feel the Joy of Being.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 17

When we came to Christs Anonymous, most of us had suffered from thought swarms for many years, and we had tried to gain control over our thinking mind, our Ego, to stop this swarm of painful and unpleasant thoughts.

We did not know that we were powerless over our thinking mind, our Ego, and that we needed help to deal with our unpleasant and painful thoughts by using them to achieve enlightenment and wisdom.

In our Eleventh Step, we worked on achieving silence in our thinking mind, our Ego, so that it could become the happy sounding board for our true Self, our Spirit.

In our Step work in ChrisAn, all of this came to our lot, and thus we were able to perceive our thinking mind, our Ego, as a multifaceted diamond, solely intending to help us.

Today's Contemplation
Today I will use the tools in my ChrisAn Program to learn to appreciate my thinking mind, my Ego as a multifaceted diamond.

January 28: Opinions

As a result of this realization, we understood that words, whether thought, written or spoken, are only pointers towards the Truth but not Truth itself, and this realization further helped us to let go of our  our thinking mind, our Ego, and instead perceive Truth as it revealed itself to us NOW and HERE without us having to have an opinion about it

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 45

January 29: The Gratitude Prayer (The Fifth Dimension Prayer)
 

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 103

In our daily lives, we experience social interactions, thoughts, emotions, actions, and physical states that we perceived as unpleasant or troublesome and therefore wanted to get rid of.

Many of us became angry when we experienced something unpleasant or troublesome instead of taking it to heart as an opportunity to create enlightenment and wisdom in our thinking mind, our Ego.

Our anger made us deny that our discomfort and trouble were an offer of growth, and our uncomfortable and troublesome social interactions were an offer of growth into enlightenment and wisdom.

If instead we deny, defend, justify, and rationalize our existential pain in order to avoid performing the actions that the pain requires, our growth gets arrested.

Today's Contemplation
Today I will use the Gratitude Prayer when I experience something unpleasant or troublesome to remind myself that this is a gift in gray wrapping paper.

January 30: The Higher Power of the groups

We had chosen to trust that our life and our will were governed by our Higher Power, and now we chose to trust that our group’s life and will were governed by the group’s Higher Power.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 114

In our social life we had a need to interact with other people, and our Traditions are all about how best we could manage our social interactions by the help of our true Self, our Spirit.

In group settings, we found out that we could choose to perceive our group as one entity that has a personal Higher Power, which is made up of the combined power of all group members’ personal Higher Powers.

We could choose to believe that our group’s Higher Power knows what our group needs at any given time, and that this is expressed in the group in its unified will.

Therefore, we listened attentively and respectfully to the perspectives of other members when we had to find the right action for us as a group, and we incorporate the wishes of all group members before we act.

Today’s Contemplation
Today I will use my Thirteenth Step by listening to the Group Conscience of the groups I am part of.
 

January 31: Happiness

In the course of our Step Work, it had become clear to us that we needed our thinking mind to become still for us to achieve our goal, which was to let go of our  our thinking mind, our Ego, and instead begin to identify ourselves with our true Self, our Spirit, and thus achieve Joy of Being.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 46

In In ChrisAn we want to achieve the joy without an opposite, which is also called Happiness, and our Program taught us that it is that state which is found in our true Self, our Spirit.

In the course of our life experiences, we had discovered that happiness is not found in the material gifts that life gives us, nor is happiness in how we use or do not use our physical body, or whether it is sick or healthy.

Nor is it in how we use or do not use our energy body, emotional body, mental body or our social body, for all of these bodies are limited, ignorant, powerless and mortal, and this can create fear.

The joy in these bodies is conditioned by circumstances, and therefore fluctuates between joy and pain, and this made us understand why we could only find love and happiness in our true Self, our Spirit.

Today's Contemplation
Today I will use my ChrisAn Program to become better at identifying with my true Self, my Spirit, so that I can become better at being happy in all circumstances, no matter what they are.

Step Twelve

Today, I will enrich others with my perspectives on our ChrisAn Program and I will let myself be enriched with the perspectives of others.

In that way, at long last, we became able to look at our thinking mind, our Ego in a loving, caring, compassionate and merciful way.

Christs Anonymous – The Thirteenth Step, page 63

From our work with the dimensions we found out that our thinking mind, our Ego, belongs in the sixth dimension, where the feminine principle is called the Tara, and the masculine principle is called the Buddha.

For a long time we used our Sixth and Seventh Step to observe our thinking mind, our Ego from our Soul Plane, the seventh dimension, with love, care, compassion and mercy.

This taught us that our thinking mind, our Ego, contained a dualistic thought system that led to mental-emotional pain and mental-emotional joy, and this made our love conditional on circumstances.

When we paired our painful defects of character with our joyful virtues in Step Six, we achieved a transformation of our thinking mind, our Ego, which in this way achieved an enlightened and wise state called the Buddha and the Tara.

Today's Contemplation
Today I will use Step Six to work on the transformation of my thinking mind's, my Ego's fear and pain, into enlightenment and wisdom.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 06: To become functional

When others showed that they pained because of our actions, we defended our actions by thinking or saying that others should understand our loving, caring, compassionate and merciful intention, and if they did not, it was not our responsibility.

 Christs Anonymous – The Thirteenth Step, page 69

By defending our actions, even though they brought pain to others in spite of our loving, caring, compassionate and merciful intention, we failed our goal in ChrisAn.

Our intention is to find joy under all circumstances, no matter what they are, and the Rings of Social Interaction had clearly shown us that we could not inflict pain on others without inflicting pain on ourselves.

Therefore, we gave up defending those of our actions that brought pain to others, as it made our goal in Christs Anonymous more difficult to achieve than it had to be.

Instead, we used our Program to investigate how we could become more functional in such a way that others also understood our loving, caring, compassionate, and merciful intention.

Today's contemplation
Today, I will use my ChrisAn Program to adjust those of my actions that bring others pain, so my loving, caring, compassionate and merciful intention also becomes clear to my fellow human being.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 07: Minimizing

Therefore, we had a tendency to minimize situations from our day where our defects of character became active by looking at them as negligible slips that we did not have to take care of, because we knew that a Tenth Step inventory was time-consuming and we did not want to spend the time required on our recovery, justifying this by thinking that our life was good as it was.
 

Christs Anonymous – The Thirteenth Step, page 87

Before we came to ChrisAn, there were many situations that we did not know what to do with when we had behaved in less advantageous ways both towards ourselves and others.

During our Step work in ChrisAn, we had made a decision about such situations and how we wanted to handle them in the future, and yet it could happen that we relapsed into our previous behavior.

Yet it could happen that we were unwilling to examine what had happened by trivializing the situation because we knew that a time-consuming clean-up work lay ahead of us if we chose to use our Tenth Step.

When we looked at the situation through our Tenth Step, we discovered that nothing was too small for us to examine and then use our Eleventh Step to turn to our Higher Power about it.

Today's contemplation
Today, I will avoid minimizing my existential pains, and I will use my Tenth Step to admit to myself, my Higher Power and another human being, what pains me.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 08: Control-issues

In Step Two in the Program of Christs Anonymous, our goal is to become ready to surrender our will and our life unconditionally to our Higher Power’s care, as we understand that Power; and to be able to do this, we needed to be able to let go of our control issues with our Mother Earth body, physical body, our ethereal body, energybody, space and time body, our astral body, emotional body, our causal body, mental body, thought body, Ego, our Soul, Super Ego, social body and our true Self, our Spirit and thereby begin to accept them as they ARE and Reality as it IS.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 40

Before we came to Christs Anonymous, many of us had identified ourselves with our thinking mind, our Ego, so we believed everything our thinking mind, our Ego told us.

In ChrisAn we discovered that our thinking mind, our Ego, was a limited, ignorant, powerless, and mortal/changeable part of ourselves, and that above our Ego was our Soul, and above our Soul was our Spirit.

Furthermore, we discovered that our thinking mind, our Ego, contained a dualistic thought system that we used to judge on good and evil, right and wrong, and that we attacked evil and supported good.

As a result, we realized that much of our existential pain stemmed from our control issues, which were all fundamentally about our judgments on good and evil, right and wrong.

Today's Contemplation
Today I will open myself to letting go of my thinking mind’s, my Ego's attempts at control by the help of judgments on good and evil, right and wrong, and instead I will surrender my will and my life to the care of my unconditionally loving, caring, compassionate and merciful Higher Power.
 

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 09: Envy

When The Small Ring of Envy became active in us, we imagined that we could get what we saw others have without doing anything to get it (Superstition), and that there was nothing or nobody, who would help us get what we so desired if we worked towards fulfilling our desires ourselves (Disbelief).

We got angry if someone suggested that we should participate and contribute with our interest, energy, time or money just like others did to get the same as they had, whether it was materially, physically, time-space wise, emotionally, mentally, socially or spiritually (Defiance), or we submitted to various demands that were contrary to our innermost desires, hoping that others e.g. God, our employer, spouse, friend, or family would fulfill our desires if only we threw ourselves on our knees and flattered them with sacrificial gifts or words of praise (Submission).

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 56

Most of us have avoided to take a closer look at our envy, because we have often heard phrases like: He/she is just envious, or: You do not have to worry about that, because the others are simply envious.

This gave us the impression that if we were envious nobody would take us into consideration or take us seriously, so we concealed our pain, when we were envious even if envy cannot be healed by suppressing it.

When we came to ChrisAn, we began to investigate our painful emotions, and we discovered that envy is just a messenger that tells us about a desire we have that we cannot figure out how to fulfill.

Once our desire was identified, it became easy for us to overcome our envy by either letting go of our desire, or by beginning to work on our desire's fulfillment.

Today's contemplation
Today I will use my knowledge of the energies in the Small Ring of Envy to either let go of or work on fulfilling those of my desires that have hid themselves in the Small Ring of Envy.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 10: Gratitude

DID I THANK MY HIGHER POWER AND EVERYBODY FOR THE HELP AND GUIDANCE I RECEIVED IN THE COURSE OF THE DAY IN ALL MY AFFAIRS?

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 109

When we succeed in completing our projects or in having our desires fulfilled, many of us have a tendency to praise ourselves for completing our projects or fulfilling our desires.

This places us in the pain of the Ring of Self-Centeredness with its self-praise, euphoria, self-criticism and depression, which is called bipolar energies because of the oscillation between euphoria and depression.

We prefer to experience the joy of the Ring of God-Centering with its gratitude, joy, openness and empowerment, and therefore we choose to gratefully focus on the help we received in fulfilling our desires.

When we remained in the joy of the Ring of God-Centering throughout the day and thus remembered to appreciate and thank everyone for their contributions to our projects and the fulfillment of our desires, we lived in joyful gratitude.

Today's contemplation
Today, I will remember to appreciate and to thank my Higher Power and all those, who helped to make it possible for me to carry out my projects and fulfill my desires so that I can remain in the joy from the Ring of God-centeredness.
 

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 11: Step Five

After that, we shared our self-realizations with another human being by reading our Fourth Step to another human being, and we listened attentively and respectfully when the person we had chosen shared his/her self-realizations from Step One to Five with us and in this process we discovered that our joy intensified and our pain minimized when we shared them with our Higher Power and another human being.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 61

In our Fifth Step, we are given guidance on how to cement the recovery that has occurred in our Step work from Step One to and including our Fourth Step.

First, we share with ourselves by using Step One to admit what hurts us and how it makes our lives unmanageable, and then we work with Steps Two, Three, and Four to deepen our understanding of our emotions.

Then we share our realizations with our chosen Higher Power and add those inspirations to our inventory that arises, and then we read Fourth Step to another human being and add the guidance we receive.

This prepares us to stand up for ourselves facing the World by sharing our realizations with our ChrisAn Fellowship, whether the World responds with appreciation or criticism to our realizations.

Today's contemplation
Today, I will make myself ready to come face to face with the World by the help of my Fifth Step of my ChrisAn Program.
 

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 12: Surrender

When we let ourselves be carried by The Blissful Flow of the Present Moment  in our daily life, we are, in fact, unconditionally surrendering to our life instead of opposing it.

By the help of this practice we discovered that this brought us Joy, whether the NOW held comfort or discomfort, and thereby we moved yet another step towards finding joy under all circumstances, no matter what they are.            

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 44

Before coming to Christs Anonymous, most of us felt indignant at the pains of life, whether they were material, physical, space-time-energy wise, emotional, mental, social, or spiritual.

After coming to ChrisAn, we discovered that by doing so, we were activating the pain of the Microring of Hatred with its indignation, revengefulness, belligerence, and bitterness in our psychological landscape.

During our Step work, we learned that the pain of the Microring of Hatred only came to our lot as long as we identified ourselves with the thought system of our thinking mind, our Ego.

To move beyond these pains, we used our Sixth Step to pair the Microring of Hatred with the Microring of Love with its mercy, forgiveness, conciliation, and sweetness, so that we could return to the NOW in peace.

Today's Contemplation
Today I will use my ChrisAn Program to learn to surrender myself unconditionally to the unconditional love, care, compassion and mercy of my True Self, my Spirit.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 13: Positive and negative thoughts

As a result of these discoveries, it became even clearer to us that it was essential for us to stop identifying ourselves with our thinking mind, our Ego, by beginning to question what our Ego told us that made us feel angry, worried, anxious, stressed, depressed or scared, and by finding out if the opposite could be just as true or, maybe, even truer.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 37

After we came to Christs Anonymous, we discovered that we identified ourselves with our thinking mind, our Ego, and we also discovered that beyond our thinking mind, our Ego, we found our Soul, our Super Ego.

When we observed our thinking mind, our Ego from our loving, caring, compassionate and merciful Soul, our Super Ego, we became able to study our thoughts and the emotional feelings our thoughts manifested.

We observed that both the thoughts of our defects of character and of our virtues were accompanied by emotional feelings, which were the energy stream that streamed out from our thoughts.

We knew that basic energy of our thinking mind, our Ego, is fear, which is the opposite of love, so when our Ego felt love, our Ego met the feeling with fear, because love was neither positive nor negative.

Today's Contemplation
Today I will let go of my thinking mind, my Ego's fear, because the love I encounter is neither negative nor positive and therefore not recognizable to my Ego.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 14: To choose joy

By learning to consciously move around in our psychological landscape, it became easier for us to know where we were at, because the very moment we were able to call our defect of character by name, it became clear to us, where we were and thereby it became easier for us to find a path in our mind, which we could use to move from our defects of character to the corresponding virtues.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 62

In ChrisAn we want to bring our thinking mind, our Ego in line with our Soul, so that we may become able to think loving, caring, compassionate and merciful thoughts when we need to think.

Therefore, we worked with the Rings of Pain and Joy in Step Four so as to become familiar with our psychological landscape and in Step Six so as to pair them and in that way transform their energy fields into enlightenment and wisdom.

We observed how we used various painful and joyful energies to handle life, and as this work progressed, our capacity to discern between them and transform them to enlightenment and wisdom developed.

Today's contemplation
Today, I will choose to pair my use of a Ring of Pain with a Ring of Joy so as to grow my thinking mind’s my Ego’s enlightenment and wisdom.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 15: Morals and ethics

Similarly, we gave up thinking that what is right for others is right for us and what is wrong for others is wrong for us, even if our family, others, society or spiritual teachings deem what is right for us as wrong.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 75

As we grew up, we learned that some actions, emotions, and thoughts were considered moral and therefore right, and other actions, emotions, and thoughts were considered immoral and therefore wrong.

In working with our ChrisAn Program, our morality was challenged as we began to examine our belief systems and sort out the part of our morality that was not true for us.

In this way, we developed our morality into ethics, which is our personal morality that could sometimes lead us to act in ways that were right for us, but that our family and our society found immoral and wrong.

In the same way, we refrained from doing many things that our family’s and our society's morality allowed, but that our personal ethics did not find right for us to engage in

Today's contemplation
Today, I will use my personal ethics to carry out those actions that are the right for me even if others do not think they are.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 16: Tradition 12

TRADITION 12: Anonymity is the Spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.                                                                                         

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 14

We Most of us are so used to focusing on other people's personality that many people with charisma has managed to occupy high positions in our mind, in society and the World at large solely for that reason.

In Christs Anonymous however, it is important that we do not focus on personalities, but on principles, because we did not want to become blinded by superficial attributes.

When we listened to what was being shared in our meetings, we focused on the message in what was being expressed by one of our members, rather than focusing on our personal opinion about the member's personality.

This member might speak about that exact piece to our personal puzzle that we needed today, and if we did not listen carefully and respectfully to all that was shared in the meeting, we might miss out on an important piece of information.
 
Today's contemplation
Today, I will listen attentively and respectfully to everything that is being shared in my ChrisAn meeting.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 17: Our inflated Ego

By working with our ChrisAn Program, we gradually learned how to createmanifest and maintain peaceful thinking when we needed to think, and thereby we achieved an Ego with serenity.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 28

In our developing of our thinking mind, our Ego, we – as humankind – have been so fascinated by all the possibilities that our ability to think has offered us.

We have experimented with thinking in all areas, and little by little, we have become aware that we also try to use thinking in areas where no measure of thinking is useful.

No matter how deeply we think about how strawberries might taste, it will not be possible for us to imagine it - we have to experience it.

A string of thoughts, where we try to imagine an experience, is useless, and many useless strings of thoughts has led to that our thinking mind, our Ego has taken way too much space in our life and have become completely inflated.

Today's contemplation
Today, I will use my ChrisAn Program to evaluate the usefulness of one of my daily strings of thoughts, and I will let go of those that I do not find beneficial.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 18: The growth of our defects of character

To createmanifest a clearer picture for ourselves as to how our defects of character became stronger and stronger by the help of their immediate undergrowth and the undergrowth beneath each one of them in the form of our denials, defenses, justifications and rationalizations if not arrested, we could use the graph of the Tree of Hatred below created and manifested from the Small Ring of Hatred and the Miniring of Hatred as a simplified example of how the four defects of character can grow and intensify.
 

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 70

In our Step work in ChrisAn, we studied the impact of our defects of character on us and our lives in the past in Step Four and in the present in Step Six, and this enabled us to cooperate daily with our chosen Higher Power in Step Seven.

In Step Seven, we learned that our denial, defense, justification, and rationalization of our use of our defects of character were means that allowed us to continue using them, and thus Step Seven could not work for us.

Our conditional loving, caring, compassionate, and merciful intention in using our defects of character had blinded us, so we could not see clearly that we needed to make our intention unconditional by the help of Step Six.

As a result of this work of transforming our defects of character into enlightenment and wisdom by pairing them with our virtues, we gained the clarity we needed to stop the growth of our defects of character in Step Seven.

Today's Contemplation
Today I will use my Seventh Step to stop the growth of my character defects by letting go of my denials, defenses, justifications, and rationalizations of my use of my character defects.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 19:  Our inner and our outer life

By working with the 12 Steps, we connect our human self with our Highest Self – our Spirit.

By working with the 12 Traditions, we connect our inner life with our outer life.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 7

While we work with the 12 Steps in our ChrisAn Program, we slowly let go of our  our thinking mind, our Ego and instead we identify with our true self, our Spirit.

This process is exclusively directed inwards in a study of our inner life, and when we come to Step Twelve, we have achieved a spiritual awakening that makes it possible for us to be in oneness with our true self, our Spirit.

Thereby, we have become ready to begin our work on The Thirteenth Step that consists in working with the 12 Traditions, which put together constitute The Thirteenth Step.

By carrying out The Thirteenth Step, we become able to use the suggestions of the Program on how we can best deal with the external World by the help of the principles of the Traditions.
 
Today's contemplation
Today, I will use my Thirteenth Step to relate in a principled way to my external World.
 

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 20: Prayer

When we centered our thinking mind, our Ego, by the help of our chosen prayers from the onset of our day, it became easier for us to reach a state of meditation, a state of no thinking at as many points in time in the course of our day as we were able to.
 

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 94 

In our Eleventh Step, there are a number of suggested prayers, which are thought sequences that we can choose to use on various occasions if we feel overwhelmed by a storm of thoughts from our thinking mind, our Ego.

We used prayer to center our minds on thought sequences that supported our goal, which is to let go of our addiction to our thinking mind, our Ego, and instead become one with our true self, our Spirit.

When we trained our thinking mind, our Ego, to think constructive thoughts through prayer, it also became easier for us to enter a state of Silence and thus unite with our true self, our Spirit.

Therefore, we used prayer throughout our day, and in doing so, we guided our thinking mind, our Ego, into serenity, so that we could have the peace to hear the unconditional love, care, compassion, and mercy of our true self, our Spirit.

Today's Contemplation
Today I will use prayer to guide my thinking mind, my Ego, into serenity so that I can unite with the unconditionally loving, caring, compassionate and merciful being of my true Self, my Spirit.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 21: The Small Ring of Avarice

We discovered that when The Small Ring of Avarice became active in us, we wanted to receive something materially, physically, time-space wise, emotionally, mentally, socially or spiritually without using our own money, time, energy or interest to get it (Stinginess), and we readily received anything that we didn’t have to make an effort to get (Greed) even if we didn’t need it (Gluttony), while at the same time we felt poor in spite of all the things and advantages we possessed (Poverty).
 

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 55

When we began working with the Small Ring of Avarice in Step Four, we discovered that poverty was not a question of money, but of a particular attitude to our resources – our money, time, energy and interests.

When we felt poor, we became stingy with our resources because we were afraid of not having enough for ourselves if we gave something to others, whether it was money, time, energy or interests.

At the same time, we became greedy and this caused us to accumulate far more than we needed, and even though we had an abundance of money, time, energy and personal interests, we suffered when we were in the Small Ring of Greed.

However, no matter how much we managed to accumulate, it did not prevent us from feeling poor because this feeling was connected to being in the energy field called the Little Ring of Avarice.

Today's contemplation
Today, I will use my ChrisAn Program to move from the pain in the Small Ring of Avarice to the joy in the Small Ring of Faith.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 22: The principle and slogan of Tradition Ten

The principle of the Tenth Tradition is Anonymity.
Slogan: I speak for myself about myself.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 133

We used the Tenth Tradition’s slogan to remember that our Truth as human beings is our personal Truth, and the Truth of others is their personal Truth as human beings, so we spoke exclusively on our own behalf.

Thereby we ceased participating in discussions about, who had the right understanding, while we simultaneously respected the Principle of Anonymityby listening to others’ message without taking a stand on them as the messenger.

This meant that our interaction with others about principles and ideas about existence exclusively became an exchange of information for mutual inspiration.

We refrained from trying to overwhelm others with our perspectives, nor did we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by the perspectives of others, but instead we took to heart,what we could use, and left the rest.

Today's Contemplation
Today I will remember that my social interactions are not about convincing others that my perspectives on Reality are the Truth about Reality, but solely about exchanging information.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 23: Peace

In our causal body/mental body/thought body/Ego, our empty or neutral mind is considered to be the sounding board for our Spirit that comes to expression through our empty mind into our entire being as a sensation of holy presence without density, a deep knowing without thought, an empowerment without pressure, an immortal NOW.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 24

When we came to Christs Anonymous, we had developed many different perspectives on most of our daily activities, and we had an opinion about everything between Heaven and Earth.

This had created and manifested a constant chatter in our thinking mind, our Ego, which incessantly called our attentions soon to one thing, soon to another to such an extent that it had become a nuisance to us.

We longed for peace of mind and discovered that we could achieve it by surrendering our thinking mind, our Ego, to the care of our chosen Higher Power and letting go of constantly monitoring our thoughts.

When we let go of our thoughts and let our Higher Power take care of them, we only had to address our thoughts when we consciously chose to engage in a thought process in our Tenth Step.

Today's contemplation
Today, I will surrender all the thoughts that I do not need in The Blissful Flow of the Present Moment  to my chosen Higher Power's care.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 24: To loose contact with the NOW

In the course of each of our days, all our planes of existence and thereby all of our bodies came into play, and at times, we got so absorbed in our physical life, our space and time life, our emotional life, our thought life, our social life or the destiny actions of our true Self, our Spirit, that we lost contact with the NOW, and as a result, we found various situations in our day disturbing to us
 

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 91

As spiritual aspirants, we wanted to be present in the NOW, because it is in the NOW that we have the opportunity to experience oneness with our true Self, our Spirit, and thus to experience Joy of Being under all circumstances.

Sometimes, however, we got lost in our material existence, our physical existence, or our time and space, our emotions and thoughts, or in our social interactions in such a way that we lost touch with the NOW.

In doing so, we lost the opportunity to experience oneness with our true Self, our Spirit, and furthermore, we lost the ability to experience joy under all circumstances, no matter what they are.

Before we came to ChrisAn, we were not aware that we lost touch with the NOW when we allowed ourselves to be absorbed by our existence on one or more of our planes of existence, and that this made us to experience pain in all circumstances.

Today's Contemplation
Today I will remember my true self, my Spirit in all circumstances, no matter what they are, by remaining in the Blissful Flow of the Present Moment.

JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER

March 25: To lose ourselves

Whether we were lost in thoughts of ‘before NOW’ or ‘after NOW’ we found that we had got lost in thinking yet another time.
 

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 80

At the the beginning of the manifestation of creation, our purpose was to experience life as a manifested creature and thus experience the limitation that consists of forms, whether these forms were physical forms or thought forms.

Our thought forms could give us the impression that it was possible to move back into the past or into the future, and we could become so absorbed in observing our thought forms that we lost ourselves completely in them.

At the same time, we lost touch with the NOW and thus the possibility of being in harmony with our true Self, our Spirit and thus with the Joy without opposition that makes it possible for us to be happy.

Instead, we tried to identify ourselves with a limited, ignorant, powerless and mortal/changeable thought form, and this made us feel lost and dominated by fear of life and death, and thus we lost ourselves and our lives.
 
Today's contemplation
Today, I will accept that I cannot identify myself with any form without getting lost in the fear of the limitation, ignorance, powerlessness and mortality/changeability of the form.

March 26: Fellowship in uniqueness

We understood and accepted this reality more easily when we considered the fact that even our thumb was so unique that our thumbprint was the only one of its kind in the world, and at the same time, we realized that everybody else was also unique in a similar way.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 119

Most of us in ChrisAn are lovers of truth, and we do not wish to deceive ourselves or deceive others in any way, and this has led us to question our personal truth.

Our fear of deceiving ourselves has led us to seek confirmation of our perception of reality, and our fear of deceiving others has led us to refrain from expressing ourselves if we had not been confirmed.

However, we did not know until we came to Christs Anonymous that both our own and others' perceptions of Reality are unique, and that we share our uniqueness.

When we entered into Fellowship with others, we chose to express our perception of Reality as it was right NOW, right HERE, without having to discuss with others whose perception of Reality is the right on.

Today's contemplation
Today, I will let myself become enriched by my Fellowships, by listening to many perspectives on our mutual Reality while being aware of that we are all unique, so I choose to take to heart, what I can use and leave the rest.

March 27: Social interactions

Many of us had a tendency to praise ourselves when our Soul, Super Ego, social body was comfortable and criticize ourselves when he/she was uncomfortable, thus moving up and down between euphoria and depression and by so doing, we released the pain of the Ring of Self-centeredness into our life all over again.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 50

In our social interactions, we experienced much joy and pain, due to the split of our true Self, our Spirit, into two individual Souls, and this duality made our love on the Soul Plane conditional on circumstances.

Before coming to ChrisAn, we often did not know what to do with the pain we experienced in our social interactions, so we often withdrew from the pain by cutting off contact with the person we felt hurt by.

Sometimes we attacked that person we felt hurt by, and sometimes we criticized ourselves for experiencing pain in our social interactions, but in ChrisAn we learned to meet the pain with love, care, compassion, and mercy.

Instead of isolating ourselves or attacking ourselves or others, we used our Program to address our pain and transform it into enlightenment and wisdom by the help of Step Six.
 
Today's contemplation
Today, I will bring my Soul life, my social interactions in conformity with their true function by the help of my Christs Anonymous Program.

March 28: Our psychological landscape

In our Fourth Step, we investigated mental-emotional patterns of energy called archetypes or fields of energy that always express themselves in the same way in each of us, although our perception of them is individual and unique in the same way as our human form is basically the same although no two human beings are identical.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 45

In Step Four, we begin the work of getting to know our psychological landscape by the help of the mental-emotional energy patterns that we call the Rings of Pain and Joy.

We investigated how these patterns have affected us, our lives and others around us from our childhood to the present, and discovered our personal use of these patterns and how we were affected when we were in these energy fields.

At the same time, we discovered that others also used these energies consciously or unconsciously, and we had thought that it was only us who used these energy patterns, but now we understood that others did too.

Furthermore, we understood that they were not personal, but simply consisted of a certain energy pattern that always evoked the same type of thoughts and emotions in ourselves and others when we were in one of them.

Today's contemplation
Today, I will study the energy fields of my psychological landscape by the help of my ChrisAn Program

March 29: Perspectives

JUST FOR TODAY through Christs Anonymous, I will try to get a better perspective on myself and my life.
 

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 18

Every single manifested creature has his/her own completely unique perspective on Reality.

This means that we - as members of Christs Anonymous - had our own unique perspective on our Program, even though the Program is the same for all of us.

When we used our Christs Anonymous Program, we therefore needed to remember that it is us and our life that we use the Program to achieve a perspective on.

All other members did the same, but due to our uniqueness we do not necessarily had the same perspective on our Program or how we wanted to use it to get a better perspective on ourselves and our lives.

Today's contemplation
Today, I will remember that my perspective on the Program and how I want to use it to get a better perspective on myself and my life is my own unique and personal way of using the Program, and it is so for all other members as well.

March 30: Super learning

The task of our knowing mind is to be the sounding board for our unconditionally loving, caring, compassionate and merciful true Self, our Spirit, and the task of our thinking mind, our Ego, is to serve us with love, care, compassion, and mercy by expressing our experiences and our conclusions on them in loving, caring, compassionate and merciful words in the relationship with our self and others, and to the extent that our thinking mind, our Ego is unable to do this, we consider our thinking mind, our Ego to be immature and dysfunctional.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 27 

As children, we were in a state of super learning until we were about six years old, and we absorbed information from our surroundings about what behavior we could use to our advantage to live on Earth.

This state of mind is also called theta, but the problem with this period of our lives is that we take in a lot of value-laden information that was not necessarily to our advantage, but could serve our mission.

We used our Program to move to the Soul Plane and observe our thinking mind, our Ego from a distance, and thus we could gain the necessary knowledge to transform this information into enlightenment and wisdom.

Thus, we no longer had to let ourselves be controlled by our thinking mind, our Ego, but by principles, and as a result we experienced how we could move to super learning by the help of our true Self, our Spirit.

March 31: Conscious expansion of our Christ Consciousness

By the help of this task, we discovered that our agonizing and difficult experiences had made us pause in our life to look for meaning, and seen in retrospect, we always found the meaning we looked for

We also realized that these experiences had become our source of wisdom and growth, leading us to compassion, care and mercy for others going through the same sufferings as we had done, and thereby we experienced an expansion of our Christ consciousness, our Mercy consciousness.

Christs Anonymous - The Thirteenth Step, page 42

It was also difficult for us to understand why we had pain on the higher planes of existence until we discovered that it helped us develop our Christ Consciousness, Mercy Consciousness.

The greatest gift, our Christ Consciousness, Mercy Consciousness, gave us was the ability to recognize our Spirit Mate, even though he/she was in a repulsive state when we met him/her.

When we met our Spirit Mate, we needed the ability to show mercy and thus to see through his/her repulsive appearance, as in the fairy tale of the princess seeing the prince in the toad.

Today's Contemplation
Today I will use my physical and mental-emotional pains to develop my Christ Consciousness, Mercy Consciousness.
