Healing Black Men from Historical Trauma with Warren Northern Brought to you by: SHOCK Metaphysics free 7-Day ecourse https://goo.gl/gRdgCi ---------------- Healing Black Men from Historical Trauma with Warren Northern Author of 12-Step Recovery Guide for Men of African-Ancestry, Warren Northern will discuss Spiritual Principles, Concepts and Exercises for Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, Psychological and Historical Maturity. The author entered the world of recovery in 1993 and like most having little or no idea of what to expect he was apprehensive and skeptical, largely guided by the awkward finality of it. He could not fathom what this one page list of “the steps” was ever going to do for him. At a glance how could all of these people in 12 step programs be so engrossed in these simple looking steps? In spite of his reservations it seemed to be working for those around him. Willing to give it a try, he “surrendered” as they say. On the journey through the steps he discovered not only that he did, but why he did. This was his own magnificent journey within. It points to a paradigm that represents a way to interpret reality both from within and without. It was also a way to invert how we blame and how we are blamed to a cause and effect / stimuli and response paradigm. At some point he began to connect with aspects of recovery outside of the realm of program literature and he connected his experiences, his pasts and present within his culture when he realized that what was needed was what was missing; a book, a story or a movement of how this profound awakening relates to Men of African Ancestry. Today he is convinced that these steps and the journey within was one of the best things that ever happened to him. Using spiritual principles, concepts and exercises daily keeps him grounded. Through the journey he admits that he now knows who he is. As he says it, “If it can work for me, it can work for you too.” RELATED: Onaje Muid on the Historical Trauma of Oppressed People https://goo.gl/a2RXZi Dr. Edwin Nichols: Dichotomous Logic and The Philosophical Aspects of Cultural Difference https://goo.gl/KfCNLR The Historical Connection Between Bacon's Rebellion and the Legal Formation of White People https://goo.gl/R15y81 #blackmen #historical trauma #warrennorthen #12stepprogram #12step
