The Four Absolutes by the Oxford Group, used by early AAs before the Twelve Steps were written
Absolute Honesty Both with ourselves and with others, in word, deed, and thought.
Absolute Unselfishness To be willing, wherever possible, to help others who need our help.
Absolute Love You shall love the Lord with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. And. . . you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Absolute Purity Purity of mind, of body, and of purpose.
