The Freedom of Recovery
Written by Devavan

Image Hi! My name is Devavan. I am an addict and live in the recovery. I welcome you to your Recovery Program as myself, recovering from the addiction to not-be mySelf.

My own recovery from this addiction to various forms of death (from the slightest upset, fears, miscommunication to the many thoughts of separation, body identification and death itself) – using anything to remain in the role of being a victim of the world, the need to be right and be justified not having any need to forgive the grievances I held… –  is what I am fully willing to share with you so that we can have together (as one mind we are) an experience of the solution to any problem, an Experience that comes by the Grace of  a Power Greater than myself (Which I call God) in Which all self-made problems disappear. This Power is already in you as It is in me and everyone, and I mean every one in your mind.

For a long time I had suffered under the chosen substance abuse of alcohol, drugs and mostly co-dependent relationships which I used to sedate myself, but finally brought me to a “bottoming out” and on my knees a desperate asking for help. I also remember such devastating incidences of loss and pain that I made a decision to change my mind and no longer do that to myself.

I decided to want Freedom for myself and was asking for an Awakening Experience Which I received and still am receiving, right now.  For me this Program is all about a spiritual Awakening. I could stop drinking alcohol and using drugs and a change in all my communications was given me miraculously. I am active in the 12 Step Program in our “12 Step and A Course in Miracles” group which you can also join online at this website. My experiences with “sponsees” have been an incredible learning and healing opportunity for myself and I am fully committed to give myself away whenever I am guided to do so and have become a necessity and incredible joy for me. I am willing to join and offer the solution uncompromisingly.

All I was asked was to be willing to practice the Steps as instructed and come to a certain trust in a Higher Power and myself as what this Program offers in its simplicity. For me this Program works perfectly – as we say at the end of the meetings: “It works if you work it; it sucks if you don’t.”

Miracles in the Light of Freedom” from July 4th – 8th, 2007 is an invitation to join with singular like-minded ones who live their own recovery in a personal contact with Jesus (or say God) as HE can only be understood as One with the entire universe. This is all about a full Self recognition and meeting with oneself in its entirety.

Image I trust in you as I trust in the Power of Light and Grace and Its unavoidable guidance. I also trust that you will and have made the right decision for your healing and recovery, your Peace inside that surrounds us, right here and now.

You are not only free by your power of decision to be free, in the release of all “binding” separation thoughts, but first and foremost by the unchangeable fact of who you truly are – as you were created and will remain: complete and healed and whole. Thank you for receiving me and coming along.

By this choice, commitment and dedication “we will meet again” and recognize together as one mind what Freedom beyond historic or political quest truly is.
