I would invite you to look at the word neutral. This little word stems from the notion of the not born. So gears can only disengage from each other through the neutral phenomenon. Similarly silence holds all the spoken global languages, all the world’s played music.
Children are born into a spherical receptacle with one centre. That centre is called destiny, but only when destiny is returned to the word be and that only happens when the word to is retrieved from the word have. This neutralises the have to be, which is the root of the Addictive System’s power and the reason that it is collapsing before our eyes.
The Addictive System is built on the expression have to be as whole populations are rendered individually into their own personal Cinderella story. The well-meaning governments of the world simply reflect back the system that is inside each person and become bewilderingly broken systems of an amplified collective ugliness that is collective corruption and a collective Baron Hardup which is the systematic obsession with money as the only worth to worship.
This meltdown may or may not not be retrievable as explained from the Sufi Jam, described in these pictures of pages from a book by Idris Shah called Learning How To Learn ….
From Learning How To Learn by Idris Shah
After many years of working with people who recover from the disease of Addiction by returning to their principial core of being which is only experienced from the verb to be unalloyed from any primary connection with the verb to have, I convey this information confident of its practical efficacy.
The bottom pyramid is the verb to have, the built upper pyramid is constructed through conscious contact with the verb to be.
Then the parable of the Grail appears as the birthing of Christ Consciousness after the sensing that all opposites are connected, always have been and always will be.
The blue quote is experienced in the completion of Step 7 in the 12 Step cohesion, further validated by the topmost quote from the basic text of AA which corroborates the importance of the word neutrality.
Only when the be is returned to is the mysterious command of The Christ quickened. The principial centre of being renews the person, birthing them again in the repairing of the terminal connections across which Life flows, activating The Human, being a person. Then all a person’s have to be functions are restored as in the story of Job, their function and service to life returning. Life is returning.
They are foolish people, indeed, who believe that one can reach the Divine Presence without a vehicle without relying on a means. It is as though they are saying, ‘We may reach the moon without using anything. We may jump from here to there!’ What is the purpose of knowledge if one does not use it?
Such people tell those who listen to them that all the knowledge they need can be found in the Holy Qur’an. They say, ‘Read the Qur’an and you will understand.’ That is destroying Islam. It is God’s Ancient and Holy Words. How then, can they say that everyone can recite and understand such a sublime text? On the contrary, God said :
If they had only referred it to the Messenger, and to those in authority among them, those among them who can search out knowledge of it would have known it (4:83)
You must listen to those servants who have been granted authority. Only they can discern the real meanings from what is necessary to be known. Only they can comb the oceans of Divine Knowledge and bring back pearls. Not everyone may comb through the oceans and bring back pearls. That means, if you are unsure about something, you must find such a person – one who is bringing back pearls of meaning.
God has given that understanding only to those special people whom He has authorised to receive it. Not everyone understands. Those who believe otherwise are falling into unbelief (kufr). So, too, are those who – acting upon this misguided belief that the full knowledge of the Holy Qur’an is available to all – declare that the practice of making meditation to a Sufi guide is unbelief fall into unbelief themselves. The irony of their claim is that, through meditation with the Sufi guide, one may come to a real understanding of the Qur’an.
May God forgive me and bless you. Al-Fatiha.

The above quote exposes a spiritual principle that is at the heart of the 12 Step Programme as it promises to allow a person to construct an experiential vehicle that is fit for the purpose of conscious contact with God, which is stated as Step 11.
For to say to a suffering person, “Just read the book of Alcoholics Anonymous”, expecting that this is enough 88 years after the text arrived through a founder who said whilst writing it, it was as if the pencil had a life of its own, may actually be falling into Spiritual Bypassing and the dogma of a hierarchical intellectually based culture unwittingly hijacking a spiritually based healing that is designed to change the old hierarchy!
All emotions are sacred
The criterion for assessment and for the avoidance of Spiritual Bypassing is to ask the question, how has the message transmissibility of the 12 Step Programme improved over the last 88 years whilst leaving the Basic Text unaltered?
The work of Joe McQ took the 12 Step Programme into a clearer transmissibility in the last decades of the twentieth century, whilst preserving rigorously the original text of Alcoholics Anonymous. He did say though of the 12 Step Programme in the 1970s and 80s, that if you weren’t sick when you went into some of the meetings of AA – you sure as hell were sick when you came out!
As cofounder of AA with Bill W., he points toward the template of the 12 Step Programme
This was the catalyst for Joe McQ to begin to work with Charlie P and to travel the world simply improving the transmissibility of the already existing 12 Step Programme by rigorously attending to the words and thus bringing pearls of meaning for a new generation.
Now the same question must be asked for the twenty first century. The context for the asking of the question has changed radically as Anne Wilson Schaef has defined for us in her book written in 1987 called When Society Becomes An Addict.
Anne Wilson Schaef has made the bold and revolutionary discovery that we live in a sick society. Often unknowingly, the vast majority of us collude in a system that encourages addiction and co-dependence – and sees these states as normal. Many of us are addicted to chemicals, not only alcohol or drugs but nicotine, caffeine, chocolate, overeating in general. Even more of us are involved in addictive processes: workaholism, gambling, compulsive shopping, sex, and so on. The realisation of the extent of our addictions, both individually and as a society, is shocking. However, there is no need to get depressed, because we can do something about it.
The first and most important step is to admit and name the disease, both in ourselves and in our society. Anne Wilson Schaef’s brilliant and compassionate dissection of addictive behavioural patterns leaves us no option but to see truth. However, the message of this book is essentially optimistic, because once the process of awareness is triggered, healing begins.
ANNE WILSON SCHAEF, PhD, is an internationally known author whose books are recognised as major contributions to the understanding of addiction. Her bestsellers include Co-dependence Misunderstood, Mistreated and Women’s Reality.
Published in 1987
Any therapist who is not actively recovering from the Addictive System is perpetuating it. Any therapist who is not actively trying to make a system shift is supporting the Addictive System.
p136 When Society Becomes An Addict by Anne Wilson Schaef
The modern spiritual teachings offer no personal template that can provide a sense of vehicle. Therefore the teachers become merely brand vehicles that in themselves cannot carry a person to a Divine Presence experience.
The 12 Step Programme offers the only living vehicle template on Earth presently that is fit for purpose, fit to carry people to their own conscious contact with God.
For a person to be helped to build this vehicle in the 21st century then, even though the template is only 88 years old, guidance from those with their own vehicle up and running is necessary.
This is why good sponsorship is vital in the 12 Step Fellowships. As the founder of the 12 Step Programme Bill W. said, you can’t transmit something you haven’t got.
How vital is it then for those offering treatment in a rehab, treatment that has to be regulated by orthodox non-spiritually based intellectually formulated structures of assessment, to be clear in their adherence to the principles of spiritual healing that are Ancient, principles that Bill W. accessed in a way that was by his own admission, mysterious?
Diction Resolution Therapy is a bridge from the paradox that is spiritual healing, across to the orthodox structures of governance for all forms of healing to be safely delivered. Does this work? I offer some feedback from the relatives of a client I received after one session of counselling with their relative:
Just a short message to thank you for the care and counselling you gave…. He has already started to turn the corner and is looking forward to your next session.

The opening quote in this post is offered simply to see a correlation across the centuries as to how consciousness transmits. The Sufi is ever free from dogma, is ever the pragmatist, for the Sufi knows that there is only One Existent.
Bülent Rauf – Addresses II
In this post linked below, I explore the building of this vehicle as the completion and perfecting of a sense of an octahedral presence that establishes personal experience of Divine intervention that heals and establishes an ever deepening and improving contact with Consciousness Itself.
There is a parable in the New Testament about Christ Jesus asleep in the back of a boat during a storm whilst his disciples are terrified and go to Him to ask for His help.
Eugène Delacroix 1853
This parable foretells Quantum Mechanics and of how light is both wave and particle.
Then this quantum function is seen to be able to connect to light in both descriptions.
This is Light upon Light
When the parable is fully internalised it describes a journey to becoming a realised person. The storm is the interface with a person’s particular life experiences which are often calamitous and stormy. This is left brain experience. The Christ Jesus represents the wave function of light, invisible and omnipresent.
So, in the parable the storm and the boat full of disciples symbolise light particles, Christ Jesus symbolises light waves.
When concentrating upon the particles, the waves seem to collapse: when concentrating upon the waves the particles disappear. The mind is a quantum template designed to access the visible and invisible energy that is Light. It can only experience this design having left the Descartes conditioning. Stuck and broken Addiction exposes this mental shift in a personal spiritual recovery via the 12 Step vehicle.
The bottom quote from Henry Kissinger is deeply meaningful for these times
The sheet below looks at an original awareness of the mind and of the pressure system that is the correct appreciation of simple, universal feelings as they produce complex, personal emotions.
Mind is a quantum device that is designed as the sixth sense to dock in a place of service such that it receives the input from the five senses plus the input that arrives through the animal instincts that are security, social and sex.
Column 2 Line 2: Mind is simply the sixth sense.
As a quantum device the mind eats this above mentioned input and thoughts are the peristaltic function of inward digesting from which meaning is made apparent and wisdom built.
Until this quantum template is returned to, the Descartes mind will ultimately eat itself which is the worry and anxiety that is now symptomatic of the disease of stuck and broken Addiction that is Mankind’s global epidemic.
“no more Master slave…” (attributed to Christ Jesus)
So, this little parable gives a message that has travelled like a Zen koan to me over the centuries, that can be read only now in the light of modern physics that has now caught up with Ancient metaphysics.
I am all the characters in the parable. When in the storms of life it is as if my inner spirit has collapsed asleep. When I access my inner spirit, my problems calm down and virtually disappear.
Therefore it is in the place of the bedevilled experience of resentment that a personal change can occur. If this place is misunderstood by the baffled mind and if this place can’t submit to asking for help because it is being exorcised by a denying partiality of religious misunderstanding, then conscious contact with God is collapsed into dogma and stuck addiction to literalism.
Carl Jung tried in his time to bring the Devil into a framework of resolution, but this letter to Bill Wilson the founder of the 12 Step Programme, shows how hard it is to challenge the damage of literal parable wielders in the field of religious effort. All religions contain the Divine message, but each pulse of potential Humanity needs the help of that pulse to open the parables into ability.
The 12 Step Programme evidences nearly 90 years of personal experiences in contact with God at this time of writing.
There are only three states available to individual members of Mankind as they each yearn to become a member of Humankind, namely ignorance, denial and then realisation.
This is true whether the personal endeavour is secular or sacred. It exposes why The Christ knew he would be denied by those close to him and why the surah Rahman in the Qur’an exposes denial repeatedly.
Without help, realising God consciousness cannot happen. Just repeating dogmatically the translations of centuries old wording that hasn’t got the quantum connectivity of Light upon Light as looked at earlier in this post, simply makes people sicker and sicker. It is to this sickness that Diction Resolution Therapy is applied.
