Trace, Good to hear from you and good to hear things are improving. Change has always been uncomfortable for me. I'd much rather have no ripples on my pond. But, what I've learned here in the program is we much change the person who entered the halls or we willing surely drink again and our lifes will not change. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Through the guidance from the fellowship, sponsor, steps and my HP; I'm now willing to change. With the willingness comes the promises and for that I'm very grateful. Thank you for the update and reminder today.
I'm not familiar with the book you mention, would you provide me with the title?
I just read that. I enjoyed his open discussion of spirituality and ego. It's heavy on the biblical references for the unaware. I did appreciate the application of various biblical passages/ideas to revelent areas of recovery. I liked the diagram that shows how ego can keep us out of the universal circle if we choose to let it. He says we can choose "conscious unity" vs. "conscious separation", and this is connected to the "golden key"-rigorous self honesty and conscience. The key is within, always there.
