Current Week Reading

​Reading for our meeting on 12/14/22
Topic: Addiction
  • David Hoffmeister 
  • ​​​ADDICTION AS A BAROMETER (Article by Mary Anne Buchowski)
  • 28: THE HIDDEN BELIEF IN SPECIALNESS (Circle of A Podcast)
  • Cameo 18 (in regards to suspending judgment, giving over control)
  • Reflection:
    • How do you relate to the topic of addiction?
      Keep in mind, this may or may not show up for you as a traditional sense of addiction - alcohol, drugs, eating, etc - consider also the sense of addiction to specialness, control, thought patterns/beliefs - and the forms of behavior those show up as for you.
    • When you consider the core of addiction being a belief in lack and a desire for real connection, how do you see this showing up for you in your life?
    • How do you see control being connected to addiction? 
    • How do you see yourself using 'addiction as a barometer'? 
    • How does it affect you to consider giving addiction over to the Holy Spirit to use for His purposes, as a teaching/learning device?
As a reminder, my requested contribution for these weekly study group meetings is $25 per month. This is not a requirement for joining the study group. No one will be turned away due to inability to pay. 

​As the Course says “One rule should always be observed: No one should be turned away because he cannot pay. No one is sent by accident to anyone. Relationships are always purposeful.” (P-3.III.6:1-3) If you have any concerns about the requested contribution at any point, please reach out to me so we can have a conversation.
