Frog Guest Registered: 08/05/07 Posts: 291 Loc: Arizona	Been listening to these over and over for the last two weeks...they help to explain a lot about my feelings towards GOD..though they are still there as I have not processed them completely... This may help someone who is in a better place than I at this point in my recovery... http://committedtofreedom.org/podcast.html _________________________ A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: "Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time." When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment, "The one I feed the most."

At times I seem ahead, then find out I am not, have gone back a few steps or a mile or whatever. It is on going till I die. Your Native Elder parable is so appropriate. Thanks! froggy12 _________________________ ??

When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment, "The one I feed the most." here's a thought - what if it's like - we create potholes for ourselves to step into or around - it's like - make it totally selfish - and see it as like for me - i am avoiding potholes.... arf?!

Frog Guest Registered: 08/05/07 Posts: 291 Loc: Arizona	froggy12, I just meant that I'm not in a place in my recovery that I'm willing nor able to talk w/ GOD right now...I still hold HIM somehow responsible for not taking action or placing me in harms way...

froggy12 Member MaleSurvivor Registered: 11/12/06 Posts: 527 Loc: Marlboro, MA 01752	Frog, Even well along the recovery road, many times I am unable to talk or wonder about God. Don't know what God is, just that I am not. I've been exposed to so many traumas besides rape I thought it was natural and no one to blame. My fate. I can't blame myself, not God, just the bastards who did it to me: Guns in the face, beaten up in subway station, rescued from a glacier in Greenland (while in navy), betrayed by friends and all that stuff. A therapist had to tell me it not natural, none of it. What I did get out of all that is to be more compassionate, especially to people here, not judge, and try to smile or keep upbeat. Rough doing it. The fact that I have a bizarre sense of humor gets me though a lot of shit. We usually find a way of coping or dealing with bad things. Trial and error and do not keep it inside my head. One day you will realize "oh, here I am." Then take it from there. Hope I made sense. Half witted but happy. froggy _________________________ ??
