My path was to become spiritual first,to know yourself before you can properly deal with the ups and downs of life, and others.
My personal path was to pray first. I was ,at the time,ambivalent
of a god, yet I prayed with imagination, I was at the point where I was open to try anything, hit bottom basically, and open to surrender control, the illusion of control that is, and I just wanted to die(stop suffering)and trust "something"I was confused. So I prayed with imagination.
I started going through the motions of recovery, groups,etc.
This led me on a spiritual path,(yoga, buddhism(non-religiously), meditating practices,(pantajali,hindu,zen), I realized in one sitting, while in prospect park(bklyn. n.y.), that ( I think I awakened, but not sure), there is no space or time in the spiritual , which is ubiquitous, so what happened ,past present, future, and what is happening now, is one and the same.
Which means, past, and future are already known to spirits(god is a spirit). Its really beyond word and understanding, and hard to articulate, which is why meditation exists. transcend the tricks of the mind(maya in sanscript). The veil of illusion. Fear drove me back to god and the bible, and christianity.
