The Twelve Steps Spiritual Journey
Redesigning Your Life

Psalm 50:16-17; James 3:14; Matthew 26:41

Moral scrutiny is not to discover how good or bad I am but it is to begin some honest shadow boxing which is at the heart of all spiritual awakening. Our goal is not the perfect avoidance of all sin but the encounter and wisdom that comes from it. Seeing and naming our actual faults turn into a gift to us. The game is over once we see clearly because evil succeeds only by disguising itself as good, necessary, or helpful. No one consciously does evil. The very fact that anyone can do stupid, cruel, or destructive things shows they are at that moment unconsciously and unaware. Gospel is that God transforms our very evils into our own more perfect good. Ongoing shadow boxing is absolutely necessary because we all have a well-denied shadow self. We all have that which we cannot see, will not see, dare not to see. It would destroy our public and personal self-image.
