MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date. Since our focus is principled and always happening now - each will always reflect the fluid nature of current events.

May’s Principle is Integrity. Integrity is integration. Since integration is inclusive we cannot be alone or apart - from anyone or anything. Obsessively thinking about our “self” is embarrassing when what we think of reality and truth can replace reality and truth. Keeping these thoughts to our “self” presumes we or they can be hidden even while undermining our bodily functions with the pressure of stress leading to a sense of dis-comfort and dis-ease. Integration asks we broaden our circle to include all that are and all that is by sharing our thoughts openly - including our insight and frustration with what can seem out of sight. Integrity is honest since it is inclusive. Acting honestly is learning to consider we all share a greater knowing awareness so any divisions perceived are simply thoughts acting as though they are so distinguished as to be distinct and apart. Thoughts aligned with what is happening are stable so decisions made accordingly are not made desperately.

Step Five says: “Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.”

Sharing openly, with God, another Human Being, and our-self admits that our “self-made-make-up” is our thoughts projected appearance, and the “exact nature of our wrongs" is imagining they are real and true. Enlarging our circle by discussing honestly what we think melts who and what we think we are as seeing others as intimately connected becomes obvious. The moral inventory preceding this step suggests our decisions were immoral which clarifies the exact nature of our wrongs was what we thought about God, truth, reality, life, people, and our-self. Our greater awareness is obvious once we no longer act oblivious. Ignoring what is happening uses ignorance to claim control over truth and reality. The unmanageability of insanity is evidence there is no control possible in delusion and insanity what's wrong is thinking there is something to control.

CONSIDER:ALL THERE IS TO KNOW IS PRESENT. EFFECTS ARE REVELATIONS OF CAUSE.
TO DISMISS WHAT IS FELT IGNORES WHAT IS KNOWN.

HONESTY DISPELS THE RUMOR WE GET BETTER KEEPING THINGS TO OUR “SELF”.

HONESTY AFFIRMS AND CONFIRMS REALITY AND TRUTH AS THE STABLE BASIS OF WHAT WE SHARE AND HAVE WITH ALL THAT IS AND ARE.

LIFE IS NOT AT RISK WHILE TAKING OURSELF SERIOUSLY SUGGESTS THE JOKE WE CALL OURSELF IS AT RISK - WHICH IS GIVING IT CREDIT FOR NOT EXISTING.

IT IS OUR PRESENT THOUGHT(S) THAT IMPACT US. THE PAST AND FUTURE ARE ONLY THOUGHT OF IN THE PRESENT.

EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING NOW. NOW WE HAVE EVERYTHING. THINKING OTHERWISE ONLY CREATES THE APPEARANCE OF WEIGHTY DEPRESSING THOUGHTS.

AWARENESS OF REALITY IS CONFIRMED BY INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE WHAT WE SHARE.

OBSESSIVE THOUGHTS CYCLE IS BROKEN WHILE THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX AS MADE OBVIOUS BY SPEAKING BEYOND THE LIMITS OF ANY THOUGHT.

DISPELLING THE RUMORS ALLOWS GROWTH SINCE THOUGHT MAKES LIMITS UP.

THERE IS NO GROWTH IN WHAT IS ABSOLUTE SINCE THERE IS NO MORE OR LESS OF WHAT DOES NOT CHANGE.
