5 continues

In a spiritual step5 reading this AM, denial was the topic. How do we admit or confess what we are blinded to?
What do I condemn in others was the answer?
Those very problems that I decide or think or notice in others are likely mine and /or the answer to what I don't see as a problem in myself (that which I am in denial of). What character trait do I give power to in my own life as I condemn it in another? I must watch for jealousy as well! Do I resent in someone else what I want but cannot have for me? Is there really, possibly, at a subtle level, THE FLAW that co-dependants inevitably take ownership of as recovery happens to them-yes CONTROL? What am I trying to change outside of me?

Final though today for me-"where do I try to influence anyone and why?".
