The Basics
 
Waking up.Searching for the answer. Where? When? Why? How? Looking through my dreams.Check, check, check. Not there. Searching my memories. Check, check. Nothing. I feelIt. I know It’s there waiting to be found. I know I see It every day. I know that I am It.But I can’t find It. I search for years. For my life. Where is It and why isn’t It easier tofeel? Look deeper. Think basic. The basic connection. It whispers to my soul daily.“Move forward. Don’t look back. IT was so this would be. Don’t worry I’m here, I promise. I’m essential in progress. I AM existence. You hear me every day and cannotcomprehend my message. Listen. Stop asking so many questions and Listen. I’m righthere”. Thinking back on childhood, nothing and everything made sense. As the years passand knowledge builds we become more confused. The levels twist and turn and tangle. Iwonder do most wish for these years when it all seemed to make sense in the mostillogical manner? When relationships and self images reflected something natural,something expected rather than something contrived. How do we re-trace these steps?How do we go back to that time when our lack of awareness led to our peacefulexistence? How do we get back to the fundamentals of existence?We must start at the basics. Basically, existence is layered in compact, entangled, detailedand confusing levels. So confusing that we spend most of our life just navigating theselayers and yet so few of us understand the basics. This is the 1
st
step in the “real” 12 step program. The beginning. The basics are brought to us through our senses – through our souls. It is our central, definitive cause for existence. It is the 1
st
lesson of experience.
 
Even the vicious energy of gravity allows for it:
progress in a positive and lovingdirection
. This is, fundamentally, the answer to all of existence and experience. Whatmore could there be. What else could logically explain the pure awesomeness of existence except that its purpose is to recreate in a positive and loving manner? The stageis just too massive. Too all encompassing. The possibilities are endless and they all pointto what I will term pevolution – “positive evolution”.I grew up in an atheist home. My mom used to point to her favorite item of the day andclearly state that believing in God was like believing that said object did not exist eventhough she could touch and even smell that item. It’s here, where is God? Show me him.(She asked me to show her God and I finally think I can give her some peace.) Before 10years of age, I was considering the truest essence of existence. I knew my Mom waswrong in her understandings. She would tell me that you could not believe in thedinosaurs and in God and I would tell her yes you can. After years of contemplation, myanswer now is of course you can. You have to. Both are true. Both are one. Everything isone, moving in the same direction with the source that began it all. This truth makeseverything make sense. Man has created many stories to describe this from the beginningof our time. They come in the form of legends, myths and religions. My mom was soconfused because she has been lost in one layer of existence. We have the intention to progress in a positive direction, and creationist stories help us do just that. They describethe way life came to be in a loving and constructive approach. They help people learndiscipline and ethics. They have eased the affects of the advances of technology on themasses allowing knowledge to slowly make its impact on society rather than bombarding
