Discourses and musings from a second Saturn return

Fearless Moral Inventory

Today I was starting to go down that path of seeing the world as filled with wrongdoings that need to be righted.

And as serendipity came in during my morning meditation I was reminded of how important it is to look to myself first.   To be careful that I use a discriminating wisdom when I view life.

My marker now is when I become righteously indignant to follow an AA teaching of “fearless moral inventory”.

This is to see clearly.  Recognizing our own wrongdoings to self and others first before rushing out to cure the world.

Jack Kornfield talks about having to end our isolation by seeing and telling the difficult truth to ourselves and to one another, but always in the spirit of compassion, and in the knowledge of interconnection.  We have to learn that we can trust the truth and that the truth will lead to freedom.

To see without any harsh judgment.  Knowing that any teaching has its wisdom and its folly and to be able to sift through and take what is best for us.  This means we are not looking for perfection, but willing to see both sides.

I am taking this view into how raped our country has become by vast corporations.  Learning all I can about what is actually going on, why this has occurred and how to change that in me which created it.
