In studying the life plans through CPR you are going to learn the difference between knowledge and wisdom while discovering some new truths about your beliefs.
Now is the time to start making new responsible life decisions, while seeking to find the real truths that will be guide your recovery. Be assured that you can be healed of these conditions through your personal power of decision and that it will be through your hard work and these positive productive decisions that your life will be changed.
You have probably realized that there is a lot of knowledge in the world and though knowledge can be good, it does not equal wisdom or truth. So now you will learn how many times that this plentiful knowledge, is also false and potentially harmful, which is why you need to learn to be careful about believing, or buying into, what others call knowledge and may falsely call truth.
With CPR you will learn to stop fighting against yourself in the name of false knowledge, ego boosts, or fitting in with those whose beliefs may not come from factual truth, but from hearsay and false beliefs. This is where you will find how far into your own beliefs that you are willing to venture and if you are willing to see that many of them may not be as true as you once believed. It is time to be open minded and to start accepting new factual truths about life and recovery; truths based on true knowledge and wisdom and not on false knowledge, myths or hearsay.
Many people fall into traps of believing or living on other’s knowledge and it is time to realize that just because a person makes a statement of knowledge, or has knowledge of something, that does not make the message in the statement itself true, as you can have knowledge of something, without that something being true.
Remember that no matter how many people stand by a belief, or common knowledge that if it is not proven factually true, than no matter how many believe, it could still be false.
Now if you desire true life change, than you must be willing to question all that you know, as well as to realize that you may have taken in vast amounts of this false knowledge, including in regards to dependency myths and people and those that say you cannot quit this addictive behavior on your own.
Once you learn to question your beliefs and find your life truths, than you can work on ending the oppression that you have been living under, this will come through discovering the true power of your personal decisions, personal responsibility and the wisdom to exchange false knowledge and common beliefs; for true knowledge and a true belief in oneself, so as to be able to become free of the oppressions and myths of addiction, by eliminating the common lies and behaviors.
SO ASK YOURSELF;
Do you believe that all that you claim to be true is 100% factually true?
If not then why would you claim it to be true?
Can you accept that your knowledge base may not be all that you believe it to be? Can you think of areas that could be questionable?
Is it okay for you to be wrong? Why?
How do you act/ react when you are wrong? Why?
Are you willing to be open to researching those “truths” that you have been taught, which are not factual truth, even though you have lived like they are, or may wish them to be? How will you check them for validity?
Many accept others truths on faith, but now your life is on the line and it is time to start proving what you are willing to accept and to show that you are okay admitting that you have been and may be wrong in some of your beliefs.
Could the following statement be true, about you?
A lot of what I know I was told and there may be many things that I claim to be true, that I could be wrong about. I start some conversations with, so and so said, and I like to put my two cents in, but now I see that some of my “truths” may not be worth two cents and though this may hurt my ego, I would rather know and relay truth and have factual knowledge, than to unwittingly lie.
Many times what we believe we have “knowledge about”, we simply have “knowledge of”; from being told something, but being told something, does not equal truth and it is time to understand the difference between true knowledge, common knowledge, tradition and wisdom and to understand that knowledge and tradition, do not equal truth or wisdom.
How might you start eliminating some of the traditional addiction thinking knowledge from your life? How do you feel about self affirmations? e.g. “I can quit drinking” “I will quit drinking” “It is my decision” “I am a good person problems and all” and I do accept responsibility for my actions, but I will not accept being judged or labeled by another and though, I can understand others ignorance, I will not accept being told that I cannot do what I need to do, to better my life, through my powers and my decisions.
