Conditions in our life are the
result of the crops (thoughts) we tend (focus on) in our consciousness. If we
dwell on thoughts of pain, lack, unhappiness, negativity of any stripe, then we
will grow more. Being a spiritual law happily the converse is true as well; if
we plant peace, joy, love and belief in abundance then these will be our
harvest.
When we walk around with a long face complaining, thinking and speaking
negatively we assure unhappiness. When we engage in morbid reflection our
thoughts work to convince us that sickness, trouble and failure are
unavoidable, lurking around the next bend. To be clear: We do not control the
thoughts that float up into our consciousness; thought control is not about
banning a thought which is impossible but taking right action when we become
aware. Negative thinking is cunning, often a wolf masquerading as a lamb, so
just as the shepherd tending their flock, as soon as we become aware of the
wolf, i.e. spiritually corrosive negative reflection and thinking, we must take
immediate action.
Our course then is clear, remembering that prayer is always the answer we place
our trust in the Miraculous and stay out of the results business. God does not
punish with one hand and love with the other; He is always working in the
positive for His children, His promises, our spiritual inheritance, are at hand
as long as we stand vigilant over the crops we tend in our consciousness,
keeping the ever-present wolves of morbid reflection at bay.

Silk sheets or city streets, Park Avenue or park bench, addiction is an equal opportunity destroyer of lives.
My name is Vincent Lee Jones and I have been in recovery since September 1985. My professional career began when I was nearly 20 years in recovery and was asked to work pro bono with at risk students at Huntington Beach High School. At the time I had developed a reputation within the at large recovery community as an effective communicator and was known to some of the faculty. After the death of two students from prescription drugs I was asked to start working with at risk students, which I did for nearly 5 years. Word of mouth lead to offers of compensated freelance Facilitator and Director positions with numerous local treatment facilities in the ensuing years.
As a retired Building Contractor/Designer, working in conjunction with a treatment facility, I created a construction program utilizing a workforce comprised almost exclusively of people new or returning to recovery, helping them to not only learn a trade and start making a living but since many of them had relapsed numerous times, to begin truly building a foundation with real aftercare to live free of active addiction. This program changed many lives.
In my 30+ years in recovery I have worked with thousands of individuals from all walks of life, teenagers to the retired, famous to infamous, prosperous to those living hand to mouth, adamant atheists to those embracing strong Religious beliefs; suffering from all manner of intoxicant and behavior-based addictions as well as those who love and care about them, both as a member in recovery Fellowships and as a treatment professional. I can be contacted at 714-366-1725.
I write and publish daily a recovery based nondenominational spiritually based blog at https://livinginspirit.blogspot.com with accompanying videos that can be found as well on YouTube and LinkedIn at Vincent Lee Jones.
