" Lesson 2: We often believe we've had something stolen, something taken from us (emotionally, physically, or spiritually), and that anger, guilt, shame . . . pollutes our minds until we realize (when we "look inside") that we never lost "it" to begin with. "It" was in our "house" the whole time." Rick number two is the awesome revalation from God. God was there all the time. Churchianity was the beer that made me lose it.

until we realize (when we "look inside") that we never lost "it" to begin with. "It" was in our "house" the whole time." You know, that is the point I've been trying to make. The lawnmower is, and has been, in our house, and only in our house, the whole time. And if we look for it in the back yard or up in the sky or anyplace external to our house-- ...well, I can understand needing to do that, and finding it reassuring, as the life cycle is a frightening thing (what with our hard-wired instinct for individual survival.) And in the back of our minds, or should I say houses, we were each, once, a baby who found reassurance in the arms of our mother and father. But with adult courage comes acceptance. And vice versa.
