Blind

 Most of us don’t think we are all that self-centered or controlling.  When we are such, but think we are not, it is called, “blindly self-centered.”  A way to check out our level of self-centeredness is to read and think about the St. Francis Prayer.  It is a favorite of people in recovery Programs.  They have come, through surrender, to the realization that they are all about themselves.  The St. Francis Prayer is a real jolt to people who want “more” of control, power, esteem.  Some people are so thick that they think by drinking more they will get more power and control.  But check your own inventory.  If the St. Francis Prayer jolts or embarrasses you about your own focus and behavior, than you might need a spiritual healing.
