Quantum Physics and the 12 Steps - Set your intentions and GO!

The older I get the more I realize how many different ways we complicate our lives from day to day. We think inside these tiny little belief systems we have set up for ourselves when, in actuality, if we would just open up our minds (which is a really scary proposition for most of us) it would make things so much simpler. I realize that is counterintuitive to most of us. Opening up one’s mind to new things would seem to make life more complicated. But it doesn’t. Not in the long run. New ideas, education, and creative ways of looking at the same old thing actually helps to clarify rather than muddy the waters. It is only the small mind that sees things as complicated.

Did Bill W. and Dr. Bob (the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous) stumble onto intent and quantum physics back in the 1930’s? Long before we started to understand them as we do today? My train of thought on this started when I opened my very large, outspoken mouth about something. Normally I’m the only one that gets hurt when I do this. Lately, however, I’m in a position to hurt others if what I say doesn’t come to fruition. I remembered this only AFTER the fact, though, and realized I’d better do some meditating and set my intent.
For those of you who are now questioning my sanity and are thinking I may be nuts, before you say, “bye-bye! Its been nice knowing you!”, do some googling. Better yet, read some books on the subject. Some of my best friends have written some of the best ones! Call it what you will: Quantum Physics, Energy Work, Epigenetic Medicine/Healing, Psychic powers, a Sixth Sense, Meditation, The Law of Attraction; the science is there to back it all up. Its not magic, its physics. Having been raised by a scientist I wouldn’t believe in it either if it couldn’t be proven.
[Back to my story] So I went to Focus level 12, set my intent and, as it looks now, things are going to work out fine. If they don’t, I even know why and it will be for the best. After all, everything works for good (hey - I didn’t make up the rules of the universe, I just happen to understand them).

Here’s the thing: Step One of the 12 Steps says: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol [or name your poison], that our lives had become unmanageable. Since I am not an alcoholic - I am what is often referred to as the “co-alcoholic” (thus my familiarity with The 12 Steps) - the part that really grabs me is the “life being out of control” part. That’s where I used to live; that was my phone number. No more. Now, when I feel my life slowly (or not so slowly) spinning out of control I know what I’m doing wrong and I take immediate steps to fix it. I take my life back, set my intentions, and go. It really is that simple. Why did I ever make it more complicated? When I keep myself at the center of my world it is very easy to juggle a dozen other things, and do it well. Doesn’t make any sense, does it? OK, it doesn’t always work perfectly. When I hit perfection you’ll be the first to know. My point is that 90% of the time I have serenity, happiness, goals, a life I love, things I’m working toward, a family that supports me. What else do you need? OK, a democrat in the White House. But other than that…
