12 Steps of Spiritual Freedom

From the February 2011 Issue of Horizons Magazine

12 Steps of Spiritual Freedom by Rev. Tom Sannar

  1. Recognition - God is First. I recognize that there is an Infinite Power and Presence greater than I am. This Presence is on purpose and knows the answers to all of my questions and has the ability and the willingness to fulfill all of my desires.
  2. Unification - I unify my consciousness with the consciousness of God. I am willing in total faith and trust to allow Spirit to guide me and direct me in my daily affairs.
  3. Willingness To Change - I am willing to assess my life, to honestly look at and face all my fears.
  4. Dominion - I take dominion and responsibility for my life. I give up blame and judgment. I accept myself and all others.
  5. I Live On Principle - I know that I am a Spiritual Being. I live my life with honesty and integrity.
  6. I Live On Purpose - I am willing to commit to the process of purposeful living. As I discover my purpose and live it with courage, I am transformed.
  7. Forgiveness - I forgive myself for any past mistakes and I forgive all others who I think have harmed me.
  8. Positively Present - I maintain a positive attitude, regardless of what is occurring in my life. I know that behind every seeming crisis, there is opportunity for good.
  9. Persistence - I persist through faith. I maintain focus and discipline.
  10. Service - I know that the floodgates of opportunity open wide by my giving myself in unconditional service to others.
  11. Gratitude - I am grateful for my life and all aspects of my life. I see all people as the goodness of Spirit in form.
  12. Tithing - I come to understand and embody the principle of tithing, so that I freely and unconditionally give one tenth of my time, my treasure, and my talent to my spiritual source.
