"Faith is taking the first step,

even when you don't see the whole staircase"

~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Below are suggested steps you can take, if you wish.

For this Being, they eliminated “Conditioning” and released "Baggage"

I'd been carrying since infancy, which eventually included

forgiving myself and others as well as the releasing of all shame and emotional fear.

By the twentieth step, I had been slowly led to a higher evolutionary existence,

 where emotional suffering ended and peace, joy, love and happiness prevails.

              conscious of what is around you

              experiences

____16- Eliminate personal wants and desires

____17- Love the Light in yourself unconditionally, as well as the Light in others

____18- Accept fully what currently IS, without necessarily condoning it

____19- Stay open and trust the unknown in every moment, choose Love 

              not Fear

____20- Be willing to let go of your "personal" identity and open to the deep

             formless essence/nature of You, which is what you were born as and is 

              your authentic Self.

“When you have come to the edge of all the light you know

and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown….

believe that one of two things will happen.

There will either be something solid to stand on,

or you will be taught to fly.”
