Every man is both human and divine, both good and evil, strong and weak, wise and foolish. The body, soul and mind are the battleground of our conflicting natures, and while these conflicts rage, we can have no peace.
It is only when we bring our conflicting emotions under control that victory over self is possible. We alcoholics have learned that we are unable to accomplish this without outside help. With that help, real peace is obtainable. No other way has worked for us.
There is no believing in God, we either know God, or we do not
The Truth is that there are no good men or bad men, It is the deeds that have goodness or badness in them. There are good deeds, and there are bad deeds, men are just men-it is what they do or refuse to do that links them to good or evil. The Truth is that an instant of real love in heart of anyone- the noblest man or the most wicked - has the whole purpose and process and meaning of life within the lotus folds of it's passion. The truth is we are all of us, every atom, every galaxy, and every particle in the universe moving towards God.
