The Word, Its Diction Chamber and Its Prince’s Kiss

John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

– King James Bible “Authorized Version”, Cambridge Edition

In the previous posts relating to an orientation within and a diagnosing of current events with the global indicator of stuck-addiction©, the metaphor of a personal and collective DICTION chamber has been established.

To extend this message further, it is helpful to establish this chamber not only as a personal or a systemic re-Source centre for reviving a dying personal or a collective Constitution as has been exposed, but also as the portal for The Word Itself as Its own connection with Itself in conscious matter.

A Diction chamber is akin to the resource capacitor for all previous reception and transmission of Holy Edict as announced by Messengers and Saints of all cultures, the place equally of tuning into said transmissions with acceptance and submission by Its intended recipients – a conscience.

A Diction chamber is the place of a present and ongoing ediction to help folks as they might have tuned into the apparent multiplicity of spiritual teachings, predictions and similar resources that are outpouring in the World today, to realise that these transmissions are in fact on the frequency of One Love modulating for the healing of one global spiritual disease, stuck-addiction©️.

It is said in the Middle East that God sends sickness to His favourites. When the problem solving pathway described in the above flow chart sticks and breaks, it is invariably at the addiction point in the process – hence stuck-addiction©.

All languages have a dictionary, therefore this simple orientation tool helps people globally to diagnose for themselves whether their own DICTION chamber has become a Castle in their own Sleeping Beauty story, or not.

The chamber also helps people to maybe manage fear levels whilst repairing their own inner space station should conditions about them start to collapse as organisations navigate through particular constitutional and systemic realignments.

The collective is simply a collection of individuals. If enough individuals know what is happening in their own DICTION chamber then the collective structures will have a better chance of surviving and transforming within the inevitable creative flux of Era change.

From the millions of men and women who have been successfully beta testing the reconstructive and reconnective capacity of this simple Diction chamber contact with a Higher Power, in global 12 Step Fellowships for the past eighty years, there is now extended an undeniable life preservation formula that can withstand all forms of moral and material breakdown. This formulaic message is simply a practical tool kit to bring a person to an authentic start point for improving their conscious spiritual education, not the education itself.

In the language of ridding the thorns that encircled the castle in The Sleeping Beauty story, the 12 Step message is the true Prince’s kiss.

No God, but God.

In this moment … Will

Of this moment … Union
Delivering this moment … Mother Earth
Child of this moment … New you
What is this moment?.. Magnificent
Where is this moment?.. y axis
Where is matter as time?.. x axis
Where is Man?.. xy engendered coordinates
Where is God?.. In Be Still
the Holy xy Intersection
The centre of the crossroads
Where The God, the moment,
time and Man meet
in being, your Human ordination.

Addendum from the future 25/12/17

It is not so important to intellectually analyse the date of Christmas, the taking over of cultural anniversaries of bygone days by the rulers of the simply gone days.

What may be important is a sense of co-ordination, a sense of learning the facts of life from a place of mastering and marrying simple material necessities that carry a mystical potential of a singular significance for you.

Living contemporary teachers appear at precisely the time that is possible for them to appear, their only difficulty always is the reluctance of people to let go of their other temporary teachers.

“What follows is not a poem in the Arabic, but part of a chapter from the Kitab al-Tajalliyat. However, since it was translated in the form of a poem by Henry Corbin in Creative Imagination in the Sufism of Ibn ‘Arabi, it has become deservedly famous.” (Ibn Arabi web site as linked below)

Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi wrote the above in the thirteenth century.

Postscript added 12/12/20 to show how this revelation of the ‘kun’, or the primordial ‘be’ is the only place that ‘behaviour’ can change – the place of the contemporary revelation that is the 12 Step Programme.

12 Step Programme

Over the last nearly 80 years, there has been a collective beachhead of sanity and practical mindful calm established by individual people within the ferocious storms of their disease of addiction, a disease that has now become such a global pandemic.

This Programme of recovery has proved itself on the inner battlefields of countless millions of sensitive men and women as they have bequeathed to mankind the only effective remedy for the catastrophe that now threatens to erupt upon the exterior battlefields of our global culture.

“In as much as collectives are mere accumulations of individuals, their problems are also accumulations of individual problems … Such problems are never solved by legislation or tricks. They are only solved by a general change of attitude. And the change does not begin with propaganda and mass meetings, or with violence. It begins with a change in individuals. It will continue as a transformation of their personal likes and dislikes, of their outlook on life and of their values, and only the accumulation of such individual changes will produce a collective solution.” (C. G. Jung, Psychology & Religion (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1938) 95.)

Offered is a simple rendition of the principles of recovery that the 12 Step Programme contains as an introduction for you as individuals or collectives, to further investigate and adapt for yourselves. The rendition is from a book that I wrote in 1997.

For any particular personal problem, I would strongly advise that whatever problem appears appropriate to you can be inserted into Step One, then an Internet Search should be done on that word plus ‘addiction’ to find information on the specific 12 Step Fellowship that can help and support you.

12 Step Pyramid Building (©AJDettman 1997)

  1. We admitted we were powerless over ***********—that our lives had become unmanageable.
  2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
  3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
  4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
  5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
  6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
  7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
  8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
  9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
  10. Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
  11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
  12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message appropriately, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. (Modified – Originally from AA)

1. SPIRITUAL – MENTAL – PHYSICAL … THE PROBLEM
2. HOPE – STRENGTH – EXPERIENCE … THE PROGRAMME
3. UNITY – SERVICE – CHANGE         … THE COMMUNITY
4. PHYSICAL – MENTAL – SPIRITUAL  … THE SOLUTION
The words allow an exploration of the symbol in Fig 1 and to see the three dimensional structure of the pyramid as one comprised of four triangles upon a square base. The above key words can each be placed around the points of four triangles and as these triangles come together in our erected structure the relationship between these words and the 12 Steps of the Programme can be explained: the inner map for personal change and continued development can be charted and internalised.
            Spiritual                                               Hope
                  1                                                        2
Mental             Physical                       Strength          Experience
            Fig. 2                                                   Fig. 3
            Unity                                                   Physical
               3                                                             4
Service.           CHANGE                         Mental             Spiritual
            Fig. 4                                                   Fig. 5

As these triangles come together upon the square base to form a pyramid, the key words also quite naturally come together to form their therapeutic identifications for the Steps themselves and their inter-relationships. If one takes a bird’s-eye view of the pyramid the following relationships transpire, with four words meeting at the apex and two words meeting at the four corners of the pyramid’s base.

            5. Strength                              4. Experience
            6. Mental                                 9. Service
                                                                                      3. Physical
                                                                                    10. Hope
                                                ………………………….>> 11. Spiritual
                                                                                     12. Unity
            1. Physical                               7. Mental
            2. Spiritual                               8. CHANGE
                                    Fig. 6
So, in this simple structure there can be seen the mandala that Jung talked about. The whole contained in a sphere, the straight lines of the base and sides all cohering to aid and protect the inner work and transmutation of awareness.
The first two Steps are vital as foundations for the work to come, but we can see here how the progress can be mapped. From the first two Steps, the adherent is taken up to Step three even though our structure is not built as yet, then down to Step four and then across to Step five. Steps six and seven are only completed by going inside the square and diagonally transverse the inner foundations to reach Step seven. Then Steps eight and nine are completed and the final erection of the pyramid is possible with assimilation of the meaning of Steps ten, eleven and twelve.
It may be seen that all the main work is done around the base of the pyramid with the vital bridging Steps being of an internal nature and then up to the apex for the maintenance Steps after a CHANGE has been achieved in Step eight. If this seems a little arcane to you upon first reading, then this is quite normal, the importance of this ancient symbol will become clearer and clearer to you as you make progress.
By referring to the Steps themselves, they can be listed according to the manner in which the principle descriptive words meet around the pyramid structure.
Step 1. PHYSICAL. This Step is a physical Step. The only place that a person can start is in their physical body with an awareness of life up to this point when ‘the journey of a thousand miles’ is to start with the first step – or in this case the first of twelve Steps.
Step 2. SPIRITUAL. Wherever the word spiritual is employed in this work, it is the term to denote ‘power’. The power of Faith which can move mountains, the power of Love which can melt the hardest of hearts and the power of  Hope which encourages the effort to achieve the transformation and then to sustain the change on a daily basis and beyond.
Step 3. PHYSICAL. Paradoxically, this Step is physical because the decision taking process is grounded in our experiential realm and the process of deciding is constant whether a person is deciding to buy a new washing machine or deciding to trust their future existence to a life based on spiritual principles.
Step 4. EXPERIENCE. This Step renders our past experience into a useful and living entity by stripping away elements that are ‘past their sell buy date’ and cherishing and collating inner goods which can be rearranged to provide a realistic view of just what there is that is worth setting our future store by.
Step 5. STRENGTH. To share matters that arise in our simple analysis of our basic sex, social and security instincts can require strength and courage.
Step 6. MENTAL. To be willing to change is a decision that is reaffirmed after the preparatory work is completed.
Step 7. MENTAL. This is the ‘marriage’ step when the Faith healing brings the inner animosity to an end. God responds to the inner leadership of an individual’s desire and the inner opposites are again repaired to a healthy psychic creativity which is both practical and mysterious.
Step 8. CHANGE. This is the point at which the real beginning is made and the way is opened for the nurturing of inner change to become a realised way of life with practise and being led by intuition and logic working in a harmony of inspiration.
Step 9. SERVICE. This Step starts to polish the principle of ‘due proportion’ as the primary focus of our personal and public application of our new insights.
Step 10. HOPE. The living Steps are now attainable at the apex of our inner pyramid with the appreciation of the very real hope of sustaining personal and interactive change on a daily basis.
Step 11. SPIRITUAL. This is the Step which guarantees the power to energise the whole work once it has been completed. It is linked to Step two and it is to Step eleven that Step two looked in the depth of its affirmation to try to progress through uncertainty. It is the Step of real achievement and the realisation of a return to purpose, dignity and inner intimacy with the ennobling grandeur of a personal relationship with the Higher Power experienced as a growing personal and practical concord.
Step 12. UNITY. In this Step there is the beginning of cohesion and an awareness of the sheer Unity of Existence and the practise of flying in the teeth of turbulence to share a personal witness wherever appropriate.

As the 12 STEP Programme is worked, the animosity of left right brain is overcome by the integration of the hemispheres as is shown in the listing. The mental realms are united and change occurs.

The Requisition

God has a storehouse.
The storehouse is run by a storekeeper.
To access goods from the storehouse
The storekeeper looks for a prerequisite,
The requisition.

You are that,
You are that requisition, that requirement,
Without which
God’s storehouse remains
Shut.

Everything, every product
That this storehouse provides is
Exquisite.
Whatever you have experienced as being exquisite
You
Perhaps unwittingly,
Accessed from this storehouse.

So, what is the process that might bring you
More regularly to this storehouse?
What prerequired inquisition might release the password
That unlocks access to this once fleeting,
now permanent, “exquisition”?

You
You must present yourself at the hatch-way
Of your own experience of the exquisite,
And ask for an enquiry form.
It’s why you asked
To be hatched
In the first place.

If you don’t believe that God has a storehouse

The exquisite hatch-way

Remains consciously closed

To you.

Although, of course, it is clear that Mercy
Grants us occasional
Unwitting, unconscious access.
Else, where would we start to make
Our storehouse
Home.

Imagine if the only reason that you are on this planet is to become Human.

What if you were born a boy baby or a girl baby, grew into a man or a woman and that then your sole work was to achieve the rank of being Human?

Would that ‘re-commissioning’ that ‘re-mission’ in your life change the way that you live and if so, what might convince you that that was in fact the true case?

When I worked in a prison rehab, trained as an addiction counsellor, dispensing treatment in a spiritually oriented recovery programme to recover men from criminalised addiction , virtually no inmate wanted to know anything about a loving God – no surprises there then!

Whenever I asked this captive client group, “who here has ever done an inhuman act?”, there was usually a complete and immediate admittance answering the question in the affirmative.

Then I would ask them to suspend their disbelieve around their old beardy God sitting up on a cloud, asking them to imagine that if they could have a God, just what qualities would their God be recognised as having.

On the white board usually the first God quality identified in the prison group was “forgiving”, followed closely by “generous”, along with a fairly predictable tally of merciful, loving, humorous, helpful, meaningful, powerful … and so on.
Then, given that the only way that they could accept that they had done inhuman things in the past was to in fact still have an inner calibrating scale of humanity, I asked them to define the term “The Human”.

The two lists were almost identical.

I then asked them what was the plural of the word “man”, and therefore, what was the plural also of the word “woman”?

What then, I would ask, is the plural of human?

After brief hesitations when it became clear that the “a” did not change in the pluralisation of the word human, and after “s” was accepted, it became clear that by far the most common way that this word “human” pluralised was through the word “beings”.

It then became easy to step the clients away from God on a cloud, toward The Human as a euphemism for God, that describes a Singular source code and a potential destination for mankind, that became clear with a deliberate “pause” in the spoken word.

The Human *pause* being you, meets The Human *pause* being me, to obtain experience, expression and development.
