										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>&nbsp;</em></strong><strong><em>by Robert Cinque</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>&nbsp;</em></strong></p>
<p>From the shock of my birth and the fear of my death, I doubt and collapse from Love, my True Condition, and dramatize betrayal, abandonment, and worthlessness</p>
<p>I collapse from love and create suffering through self pity and blame</p>
<p>I blame others and transfer ownership of myself to them.</p>
<p>I create scapegoats and false gods in my rage.</p>
<p>I destroy Love and betray it and accuse others of betraying me</p>
<p>I create doubt and fear.&nbsp; When I fear I want security.&nbsp; When I want security, I empower false gods, tyrants, experts, strategies, and substances to save me.</p>
<p>I am a fundamentalist, a fascist, and a tyrant in an ego cult of one.</p>
<p>I enslave others in my hellish condition of dread</p>
<p>I abuse others with my self pity</p>
<p>I dramatize abandonment and rejection and self pity and fuel all my other lesser addictions with it.</p>
<p>I harm myself and others with my addiction to a false self, an idea, a victim/robot who imagines itself to be separate from Love</p>
<p>I am a cultic worshipper in my exclusive ego cult of one.</p>
<p>I imprison others by my withdrawal from Love</p>
<p>I condemn others to the dungeons of my lovelessness</p>
<p>I betray Life by my withdrawal from Love.</p>
<p>My collapse and withdrawal from Love is sickening and starves all my relations.</p>
<p>I use these conditions to justify my accusations of betrayal.</p>
<p>I use other’s failure to love me to justify my own failure.</p>
<p>I betray Love and blame others for it</p>
<p>I reject love, then dramatize betrayal.</p>
<p>I make others wrong</p>
<p>I impose my agenda</p>
<p>I am a recovering ego addict because I notice the obvious Beauty and Love at the Heart of Existence <em><u>and the way in which I obstruct it.</u></em></p>
<p>I am not separate from Life and Love</p>
<p>I am free to be in alignment with Life and Love or not.</p>
<p>I am responsible for the consequences of my alignment or non alignment with Life and Love.</p>
<p>I use my non alignment with Life and Love as an excuse and reason for self pity</p>
<p>I am inherently, already unified with what is always already the Case: seamless unity between consciousness and matter, God and self, whole and part.</p>
<p>I am recovering from self pity and the willingness to tolerate lovelessness in myself</p>
<p>I am a whirlpool in a River of Light</p>
<p>I am a recovering ego addict.</p>
<p>I am responsible For and To Love.</p>
<p>I maintain Heartfelt Intimacy with the Truth of Love, the Core of Reality.</p>
<p>I do not withdraw from my Actual Condition as a Whirlpool in this River.</p>
<p>I trust the White-Hot Core of Existence.</p>
<p>I trust Life’s Brilliance.</p>
<p>I am thrilled by the Intensity and Freedom and Love of Life</p>
<p>Life flows from Love, the Condition of all things</p>
<p>I am Always Already one with Life</p>
<p>Life is Love, I am That</p>
<p>Life is Love</p>
<p>Love is Truth</p>
<p>Truth is God</p>
<p>God is Reality</p>
<p>Reality is Light</p>
<p>Light is Love</p>
<p>I Love Life</p>
<p>I am responsible for Love</p>
<p>I am responsible to Love</p>
<p>My revulsion at my failure to love is the beginning of awakening</p>
<p>My responsibility for Love is authentic spiritual practice.</p>
<p>I am responsible for my choice of contexts, concepts, and conclusions, including their effects, outcomes and consequences.</p>
<p>I am free to love and to be what I already am, or not</p>
<p>I am responsible for everything I think, say, and do and their effect, implication, and consequence are my responsibility</p>
<p>I am responsible for the suffering I create.</p>
<p>I am intrinsically intimate with all beings.</p>
<h3><strong>I am a recovering ego addict</strong></h3>
