What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this enlightening episode of "Alternative To Rehab," Dave Cooper takes listeners on a journey through the second session of module two, aptly named 'The Ground Floor.' This session is all about laying a solid foundation for recovery, inspired by the biblical parable of the wise man building his house on the rock.
Through a live teaching format, Dave shares invaluable guidance on working with your first 'part' by employing concepts like unblending and the observer position. Drawing from Matthew 7, Dave explores how life's challenges are akin to rain, streams, and winds that test the stability of our foundation. The episode touches on the spiritual principle that the quality of what you build is contingent on unseen foundations, offering listeners a new perspective on personal growth.
By using metaphors and personal anecdotes, Dave helps listeners understand that spiritual progress is possible without external validation. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own lives and consider what they are building their foundation upon. The episode also delves into the concept of inner discipling, emphasising that spiritual growth isn't about trying harder but about recognising different and better responses that come effortlessly.
With a focus on compassion and empathy towards oneself, Dave encourages individuals to separate their fleshly desires from their spiritual goals. This session is not just about avoiding pitfalls but about embracing a biblical method of growth that offers both solidity and stability. By the end of the episode, listeners are left pondering how they can apply these teachings to their own journey of sobriety. So, are you ready to build your house on a rock-solid foundation?
