How would you describe the “main ingredient” of your own spiritual growth, nowadays?

 

IT ALLOWS US TO LOOK DEEPER –

“… when we have
taken a square look
at some of these de-
fects, have discussed
them with another, and
have become willing to
have them removed, our
thinking about humility
commences to have
a wider meaning.”
(12 & 12, p. 74)

 

THE MAIN INGREDIENT –

“We couldn’t handle
the ordeal of life by our-
selves. It wasn’t until we
made  a mess of  our lives
that we realized we couldn’t
do it  alone.  By admitting
this,  we achieved a glim-
pse of  humility.  This is
the main ingredient of
Step Seven.” (The
Basic Text, p. 36)

 

“I can trust
my friends. These
people force me to
examine myself,
encourage me
to grow.”

Cher (1946 – ) U.S. singer-songwriter / actor

    For me, the “main ingredient” if being able to sense the truth or love in want or perceive. The easier I’m able to do that more connected I feel to others and my HP.

    Here I was trying to be someone else’s higher power. Now I can see that I am nobody’s higher power – myself included. Now I get to “Step” aside and watch my Higher Power go to vigorous work in my life. I also get to observe your Higher Power working in your life. I do not know what kind of person I always wanted to be; that image is too clouded with worldly concerns. I can become the kind of person my Higher Power intended. Namaste.
