Drinking was like making love to skunk -I didn't gwt all I wanted but I got all I could stand !
Your mind is very dangerous neighborhood -Don't go in there alone.

Resentments Getting rid of those people living rent free in my head.
Low self worth self esteem

repairing a damaged iam race.
Don't try and wrap your head around God. If you do it will explode and we will have to
come and clean up the mess !
There is no shame in the need for God,
When the sum of the whole becomes geater than the sum of its parts it is called
emergence.
Be an evolutionary not a revolutionary – (Sai Baba)

If your God can not solve your problem your God is too small.
If you can't find your god don't worry. I'll loan you mine -
Aguing with God God is aruing with reality – You wil never change it by arguing against it -
The absolute that brings forth the everlasting fountain of life -
Permanent sobriety must be a personal choice
God or drink

Religion is something we do on the outside -spirituality is something we do on the inside
There has been horrendous abuse of religion -
Can God change a pickle back into a cucumber ?
If you keep doing what you are doing you will keep getting what you are getting.
Patience is a virtue acquired slowly
You can only experience what you know
You can not experience what you do not know
The Rule of Life
Live -Lean Grow -
If you want to make God laugh tell Him what you are going to do with your life.
Patience is a blessing and a curse -
Patience is the cures of the impatient man.

For the Love of Recovery
WHY IT WORKS
It works because it is law of the universe that whenever the lesser sincerely
ask the greater for help, the greater must respond.

The purpose of the program is too find the power greater than your self which will solve our
problem and rid you of the defects of character which made alcoholics out of us in the first
place.(BB and 12x12)
We are given a program of recovery and a way and a means because it was never Gods'
intention for any of us to become alcoholics and or drug addicts in the first place.
Infinite IAM presence
The 12 steps were given so we do not kill our selves. The 12 traditions are given so we do not
kill each other.
Forgive them Father; For they know what They have not the knowledge of
themselves that have brought them to this moment.
Jesus Christ Emanuel
You have to find you’r higher power –Not your lower power.
Is this alcoholics’ I’m –a-mess ?
You are only late to your first meeting.
Welcome to your new life.
There is no such thing as natural immunity to the effects of drugs and alcohol -There is only
the degree of severity of impact upon the life and the human body. -
I made a decision to be late to my own funeral –So far it’s working -
I have an allergic reaction to death -I avoid it where ever and when ever can !
3
Can't or won’t believe in God? Believe in that which created God -That which created God
is a power greater than ones’ self - for God does not exist. For it is God that creates all of
life and existence and that power resides and lives deep inside each and every one of us.
You cannot prove God wrong - but you can prove God right.
St Germain
The Good is God times ten.
Magnify (multiply ) the name of the Lord !
What is the will of God ? The internal impulse towards perfection and immortality through the
expansion of creation. This is the activity of life, to magnify the name of the lord.
The great power of God deep within us is the ability to conceive of an idea and make it a
living manifestation of reality. The danger is in its destructive misuse and misapplication.
Life is a spiritual journey
To change a thing -Change the name of a thing -
Only the heart of man is big enough to contain the religion of God.
Sai BaBa
Religion was meant to serve man, not man serve religion.
If you make compromise with the disease it will always find a way back into your life.
Religion is for people who are afraid of going to hell –Spirituality is for people who have
already been there!
This program is for the man on the street.
The program is a set of spiritual tools –We have a tool to fit any nut !
AA is a special needs program in an affordable care package delivery system.
Welcome to God’s critical spiritual care and recovery unit.
Take my advice , I won’t be using it.
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

As a group we were a wonderful bunch of thieves; when it came to spiritual truth and recovery
we took from everyone and everything!!!
The Promise of recovery

The story of How thousands of men and women have recovered from a seemingly hopeless
state of mind and body.
The first 100 were given freedom from the disease -
Do you want a reprieve or do you want release ?
The problem lives and exist in the will nature and the feelings,
The man you are will drink again -That man must change.
Are you willing to quit for good?
Alcoholism is an elevator that goes only one way -DOWN -push the off button!
This is a progressive illness, it only gets worse.
Stop feeding the disease!
When do you hit bottom ? When you quit digging !
The elevator to sobriety is broken, use the steps.
There is no hole so deep that you cannot climb out of with the 12 steps.
If you work the program off the wall – YOU HAVE AN OFF THE WALL PROGRAM !
Recovery is like peeling an onion –There are many layers.
Just don’t drink now.
If you want what we have; Do what we did.
Osmosis sobriety is trying to get sobriety by only sitting in the meeting chair without
doing the work.
You are either a part of the problem or a part of the solution.
5
Perfection is complete freedom from all the “D” words –Death, disease, destruction,
debauchery, dementia, destabilization, disintegration.
Death is always the Hunter (Carlos Castanada)

Death is always looking for a way and means to enter into us. Death is the relentlessness of all
sicknesses and disease.
Death is the great teacher of the mystery
Failure is our greatest teacher

Yoda
We were sick and tired of being sick and tired.
With God you don’t always get what you want but you will always get what you need.
All of life moves towards pleasure and moves away from pain.
(India)
Whatever you give yourself too becomes a power greater than your self -
Do good, feel good. Do bad, feel bad.
Morality and immortality go hand in hand -

BaBa
What I feel I make real !

Lord Asun
We were given the gift of desperation.
Seek the power of sobriety for sobrieties’ sake, because some days being sober will have to be
enough.
Being sober is a state of being.
Our worst day sober was far better than our best day drunk.
When the spiritual malady is overcome, we straighten out mentally and physically. (BB)
The program was given by God for those people who wanted sobriety so they could find it.
Have you had enough -Are you done with it?
We darn near beat ourselves to death with the power of our own defiance.

Man is born with two eyes and one mouth - Do twice as much listening as you do talking.
Take the cotton out of your ears and put it into your mouth.
Shut up and listen!
This is a tough love program.
We will love you until you learn to love yourself.
You have to love yourself first before you can really love someone else.
Give it away to keep it.
Pass it on.
There is only one God and you ain’t it.
Put your faith and trust in God.
To love God is too love life
Fake it till you make it.
This is God -don't make me come down there !
To know the truth of God you must lose the fear of God.
Gods' last name isn't dam !
Let your language reflect the quality of your sobriety.
Burn into the mind of every man women and child the idea that they can recover.
Pass it on.
If you still had a watch you weren’t ready for AA.
We have alcoholism; not alcohol was-ism.
We didn’t get here because we had an allergy to peanut butter.
It’s a guarantee; if you don’t drink you can’t get drunk!

7
You may have another drunk in you, but you might not have another sobering up!
We got sober with a big book and a bible.
Those who do not learn from the experience of the past are doomed to repeat it.
Place you shoes under the bed each night. That way you will be in the right position to talk to
God at night and in the morning.
Ask God for sobriety in the morning and thank Him at night.
Have an attitude of gratitude.
First Things First.
Don’t take the first drink.
It’s always the first drink that gets you drunk
If you don’t drink you can’t get drunk.
Ones’ too many and a thousand isn’t enough.
What’s a matter kid, did your belly button unscrew and your ass fall off ?
Poor me, poor me, pour me a drink.
Don’t drink and don’t think.
Think the drink through.
Don’t drink and don’t use!
We had to give up our Stiken’Thinken’.
Today I am clean and sober. I am sober because I didn’t drink and I am clean because I took a
bath.
Don’t drink and don’t stink!
- Think Think Think -

(That's for us and not for you.)
When you are ready to think we will let you know it.

Don’t try and wrap your head around God. If you did your head would explode and then we
would have to come and clean up the mess!
How do you become an old timer? Don’t drink and don’t die.
If you hang around a barber shop long enough you’re going to get a haircut.
If you don’t want to slip, stay out of slippery places.
We had to change play mates and play pens.
SLIP
Sobriety –Lost- Its’ Priority
So –Long-I’m –Perfect
You can’t sour like an eagle if you’re still flopping around on the ground like a turkey.
Stick with the winners.
To drink is to die.
There are no atheists in fox holes.
There is a world of difference in being an atheist verses being an anti-theists!
Drinking was only the tip of the iceberg.
Relapse is like playing Russian roulette; you don’t know how many times you get to pull
the trigger.
RELAPSE IS NOT MANDATORY!
Some days being sober purely for sobriety’s' sake is enough!
You can’t be grateful for what you have when you’re being ungrateful for what you don’t
have.
Three Frogs on a Log
If there are three frogs sitting on a log and one of them makes the decision to jump off, how
many frogs are still sitting on the log? Three. Make the decision and take the necessary action
to stay sober.
Jump Frogie, Jump !

Make the decision.
An old timer’s view of the First Three Steps
1. Do you have a problem with an addiction?
2. Do you believe that the program can help you?
3. Do you plan on keep coming back and give the program a chance to work?
If you can say yes to these questions you have made an excellent beginning on the first three
steps.
The ABCs’ of this program are:
A. I can’t ,
B. He can;
C. And I think I’ll let Him!
What is the will o God ? To magnify the name of the Lord –To bring forth all that is creative
and good within your own self.
Thy will, not mine be done.
I say yes to life and life says yes too me
Say yes to life.

We are a people that have been rode hard and put away wet!
We were beat into a state of reasonableness; we were like whipped puppies.
Easy Does It.
Easy does it but do it!
Fear is an evil and corroding thread, the fabric of our existence was shot through with it.
( BB)
Fear: False evidence appearing real !

10
Frantic efforts avoiding reality
Forget everything and run.
Face every thing and recover
Did not after all these FEELINGS determine the course of our existence? (BB)
If fear had any financial value we all would all be billionaires.
Fear is always the result of remembered pain, suffering, failure and death.
Face Every thing And Recover.
Never be afraid of your own feelings and emotions.

Master Asun,
Radiant Rose Academy
I suffered from a bad case of religious indigestion.
We use to believe at the end of it all, that God was going to hold a marshmallow roast and
we were the marshmallows!
I go to church for fire insurance, I don’t want to burn.
Fear knocked at the door and Faith answered; when I opened the door, nothing was there!
We believe what we feel.
News Flash: The biblical God of judgment, condemnation, eternal damnation and hell fire
has been found! His name is Mankind! For it is only Mankind, throughout this entire universe
that thought up such a thing and enacts these things upon its own kind.
We were always making problems out to be far worse than they really were.
I feel fine; Finicky Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional!
Feelings are four times more powerful than thoughts. Master Asun
Addiction is when drugs or alcohol becomes a power greater than one’s own self.

. Talk the talk and walk the talk.
Stay sober one day at a time.
Live one day at a time.
It’s the engine of the train that kills you, not the caboose.
You can’t stop a freight train in 10 feet.
Our lives were a train wreck!
Drinking was like making love to a skunk -I didn't get all I wanted but I got all could stand!
Don’t drink and go to meetings; don’t drink even if you derrière falls off! If it does, don't
panic, pick it up and bring it along with you, we will find a place for it!
We were always making problems worse than they really were.
Keep the plug in the jug.
Rule number is don’t drink- Rule number two is don’t violate rule number one.
Patience is the curse of the impatient man.
The hell with patience, I’m going to go out and kill something!
I found out that I’m definitely an “AA” type personality.
How do you become and old timer? Don't drink and don’t die.
Life by the inch is a cinch; by the yard it is hard.
Even if you’re on the right track, If you’re not moving forward its no guarantee that you
won’t fail.
By the name and the power of God.
Live in the solution and not the problem.
The means of spiritual recovery is learning how to live life from the inside out rather than the
outside in.
When a sincere desire to stop drinking is God empowered, it cannot fail
12
Pride precedith a fall.
Pride is a feeling.
False pride says “ I don’t want or need help from God or anyone !”
God is my best friend.
The person you are will drink again, that person must change.
What is it that must change about you? Not much, just everything!
The freedom of a master is the power of conscious change.
But for the grace of God there go I.
God will change the demon in you into a human, and the human in you into an angel.
Is there anybody else up there who will help me?
We are loved by God and not judged by God.
Let go and let God.
A human being will never let go of anything as long as they believe it serves them well.
Vwymous
- See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, do no evil-
Every day invite God into your life, your very existence.
The will of God will not lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you.
- To Be or Not To Be -
The will of God is To Be God realized and God actualized.
Become an active participant in the creation of your life.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all of this will be added to your measure.
Jesus
Live and learn.
God is the answer -what is the question?

Seek and ye shall find.

Take what you can use for now, and leave the rest for latter.
We’ll love you until you love can yourself.
God will never give you more than you can handle.
“I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish that He didn’t trust me
so much.”
Mother Teresa
-Turn it over-
Being a little bit alcoholic is like being a little bit pregnant. You either are or you aren’t.
Suppose you had a problem eating hamburgers. Even if they caused you problems would you
stop eating them? Now you understand alcoholism.
There is only one God and you ain’t it.
Why is it against God’s will for us to drink or drug? Because “He” doesn’t want us to!
God is the source of the program.
God lives in everyone and everything.
The big book is a McGuffey reader- Dick and Jane find God One through Twelve.
It is better to believe in God and die and then find out he doesn’t exist than to not believe in
God and die and find out he does.
We work the 12 steps so the grace of God can enter and expel the obsession.
If I live long enough I’m going to create the ultimate 12 step program,
MORTALS ANONYMOUS!
If you took all the Catholics out of the program you could hold the meetings in a phone
booth.

This is a Irish Catholic disease caught on bar stools and cured in the basements of Protestant

The only sin a priest hasn't heard confessed is suicide.
If you are really depressed try suicide anonymous -I hear they have very few relapses !

Get off the cross –We need the wood !
Sobriety is an inside job.
There is nothing God can’t do.
You can’t con a con.
First the man takes a drink, the drink takes a drink; and then the drink takes the man.

We were a people who drank and used with consistency, faith and devotion. Go to meetings
with faith and work steps religiously!
We’re all brothers and sisters of the grape.
We were brought to the program because we were souls’ in crisis.
You never graduate from this program.
Alcoholics’ come in two forms, men and women.
Being different does not mean less than or better than.
AA was the last house on the block - our last chance for life.
There is nothing worse than a head full of AA and a belly full of booze.

Today is a good day,

I did not drink and I did not die,
Today is a good day
All actions have consequences- Sobriety is the consequence of working the steps.
See the love in evolvement.
Expectations are premeditated resentments.
Resentment is like drinking poison, expecting the other person to die.
Resentments are open wounds that need healing -
Resentments are memories are always memories and feelings of things that happened in the
past.
Resentments are gremlins that live in your mind and body.
Place your focus on people and problems grow - Place you focus on God and problems go.
St Germain
Focus draws the power.
Relationships in my life are wonderful; they ensure I make a lot of meetings!

Changing addictions is like changing seats on the Titanic.
Make ninety in ninety
Go to ninety meetings for ninety days - If you’re not happy after ninny days, we will gladly
refund your misery.
Make ninety meetings in ninety days! Why because you are training yourself and your car
to drive to a meeting rather than to a bar or a liquor store.
Don’t become a ninety day wonder, you come for ninety days then we wonder where you
went ?
Go to one more meeting then you think you need and go to all the meetings you don’t want to
go too.
Build the power of momentum into your sobriety- Make ninety in ninety.
Meeting makers make it.
16
DON’T DRINK BETWEEN MEETINGS.
If you believe that life is out to get you, you are correct!
Today was a good day. I didn’t drink, I didn’t drug and I didn’t die. Today was a good day.
Fear and faith are opposite sides of the same coin.
Why worry when you can pray.
Fear and doubt are the enemies God.

Sobriety is fourfold. How is your physical sobriety, how is your emotional sobriety, how is
your mental sobriety and how is your spiritual sobriety?

Make the decision to live and follow up with the necessary action!

I should be doing this or I should be doing that. Don’t Should On Your Self!
I’m a human being, not a human doing.
The program is a mystery school. We didn’t have a clue what got us here.
We’re here because we ain’t all there.
God brings you to the program, you have to make the decision if you’re going to stay or leave.
You can’t get this program through ass-mosis. That’s when you expect to get this program
just by attending meetings, sitting in the chair and absorbing sobriety from the group.
God brought us to the steps and the steps brought us to God.
Take one step towards me and I will take ten steps towards you. God
God honors any movement in His direction.
When you give your will to alcohol, alcohol takes over your will.
This is the only disease that tells you don‘t have it.
Alcoholism is a family disease.
Once we had fully set the power of our will to drink, we were powerless to change it.
Mankind was born with free will.
It is said in India that God will give you enough rope to hang yourself. Some of us needed a
very long rope.

been given free will!
Free will -Who said free will? There is nothing free about it; Try it sometime; It is very
expensive!
You are God’s gift to life –what you make of your life is your gift to God.

Your own definition of what is an alcoholic will probably kill you!
What is an alcoholic? Someone who gets into an argument with them self and looses!
An alcoholic is someone who has lost their will to alcohol.
Alcohol suppresses fear and inhibitions; hence it has been called “liquid courage”. The price
for this illusionary power is death.
It’s a great day when alcohol and or drugs stops working for you.
Instant Idiot - Just add alcohol.
We didn’t get here because we had an allergy to peanut butter.
Many of us suffered from a case of arrested development. We wouldn’t consider any kind of
spiritual or emotional growth until we got arrested.
When I drink I break out in silver bracelets!
Many of us got here by a nudge from the Judge.
When I drink I breakout in silver brackets.

Holy Spirit.
You drank enough to get here; we hope you drank enough to stay.
Alcohol is an equal opportunity destroyer.
Alcohol is as great remover. It will remove jobs, families, bank accounts and even your life.
Alcohol destroys the very glue of your existence, the binding force of life.
It’s not how much you drink, or how long you drank, it’s what happens to you when you do.
Geographical cures? Wherever you go there you are.
Selfishness, self centeredness, this we think is the root of the problem. (BB )
If you don’t drink you don’t get drunk.
You are never too young to die from this disease. You are never too old to recover.
God is mightier than any disease or human condition.
Spirit knows no limitation of time or space.
To have God in your life is too quit living in the limitations of the past.
Keep coming back.
When all else fails follow instructions.
No one can hear anything before they are ready to hear it.
Timing is everything.

All are called –few choose.
Jesus
Blessed are they who are pure in heart for they shall see God. Bible
We realize that we know only a little; God will constantly disclose more to us and others.
God absolutely does not punish us - We do a far better job of it ourselves.
We are not punished for our sins; we are punished by them.
If anybody did to us what we do to our selves we would kill them!
We are not bad people trying to be good; We are sick people getting well.
The one law of God is the law of life is the law o love, do no harm to yourself and others.
Broken people do broken things.
Sin is the harm we cause ourselves and others.
22
You can do anything you want as long as you take responsibility for your actions!
What is unforgivable sin? It is purely by definition. If you won’t forgive it, or won’t stop
committing it, or allow God to forgive it - it is unforgivable. When you say I can’t forgive it
or won’t forgive it or God won’t and can’t forgive it, you are playing God in the negative.
What is unforgivable sin? Speaking, believing and living in unforgivable sin.
Quit being an archaeologist and digging up the past and throwing it in my f ace !
What is alcoholism? Incomprehensible demoralization; that means we can’t comprehend it!
With God’s help you can beat this thing.
What happens if you don’t pay your exorcist? You get repossessed!
Mankind judges and condemns; God makes corrections and transforms.
Christ brings an end to the sin, not the sinner.
We judge our self by our intentions and the world judges us by our actions.
God transforms a drinker into a nondrinker -an abuser into a non-abuser.
God is a spirit and the spirit judgeith not. Bible
God is the CREATIVE PRINCIPLE of everyone and everything.
Why you? Why not you?
Why? Be-Cause. Be the cause of good things, not the negative effects of bad things.
Bad karma writes and good karma wipes. BaBa
Practice random acts of kindness.
The spiritual life is not a theory; we have to live it.
How do you recover? The will to live and stay sober must become stronger than the will to
drink and die.
You got to want to get sober more than you want to get drunk -Even if its’ only fifty one
forty-nine.
23
Commit your will to sobriety.
Life is about growing up towards God.
This is a grow or go program.
God is grow power.
Plant yourself in God.
Stay green, green things grow.
There are primary and secondary sources of power
Get just as committed to sobriety and recovery as you were to getting stupid and drunk.
If you don’t find real value in your sobriety you’re not going to keep it.
Recovery? Treat causes, not maintain symptoms.
Treasure your sobriety.
There is absolutely nothing in this world or the next worth taking a drink or drug over.
The sun shines for saint and sinner alike.
God is the source of beauty- Fill thy cup and drink.
Become empty of self and full of God and life.
We get to heaven by backing away from hell.
Most people want just enough God to get by.
The attitude is the father of the action.

The only thing a person is held accountable in the all of creation is their attitude; For it
is their attitude that determines everything. Sai BaBa
Have an attitude of gratitude.
You can’t be grateful for what you have when you’re ungrateful for what you don’t have.

AA has been referenced to mean “Altered Attitudes.”
God is the good.
The good is god times ten -To expand the good is to increase the god in you -
This is what it means to magnify the name of the Lord.
There is nothing negative about God.
There is nothing God can’t do.
* I AM the doer.
It’s all good!
We are all God’s children.
God didn’t have any grand children.

The 12 steps are the Zen of Recovery.
A thousand mile journey begins with the first step.
A thousand mile journey begins with the first tank of gas!
The longest distance any one will ever travel is the journey from the head to the heart.
Put one foot in front of the other.

Old Zen saying: Your change must come from within.
Live in the eternal here and now.
As a moth is drawn to a flame, so the human being is drawn to God -The human ego fears
being destroyed in the process. St Germain

There is only the flow and the stuckness.
Seek the One who can give you sobriety.
When one door closes another door opens.
Stop and smell the roses.
A funny thing about stcukness; We couldn’t really change when we want too and don’t want
to change when we should.
What happens when an irresistible force meets an unlovable object, you get a migraine!
Quit trying to swim upstream.
26
Go with the flow.
The sleeper has awakened and I have a hangover from the world of the senses!
Its’ not the length of the journey that makes life so hard, It’s the pebble in your shoe.
We couldn’t see the trees from the forest.
I went to a party at age fifteen and came back at age forty.
When we started drinking we stopped growing.
I m’ more than I was, but IM' not yet all that I will be.
Everyone is doing the best they can with what they have.
We are all a work in progress.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IS NOT AN OPTION IT IS MANDATORY!
This is a grow or go program.
The Solution is Evolution.
We were sky rocketed into a fourth dimension of existence. (BB)
As the death of a caterpillar is the birth of a butterfly, So is the death of your ego but
the birth of your soul.
God cracks the hard shell of your ego to free the nut inside -
Death is only a change in location.
Shedding the human ego is like a snake shedding its’ own skin. It must happen in its’
own way and its’ own time.
Human beings love to argue for their own limitations!

Vwymous
Addiction? When you are truly done with it you are truly done with it - It becomes no
more, as if it never was. St. Germain
27
True spirituality is transformation of the ego consciousness. The individual ego personality
self must recognize the need; and be willing to surrender to the principle and power of God,
the transformational energy latent within all of us. St Germain
God created human beings from the inside out - Your direction of change must occur the
same way.

If you take all the Catholics out of the program, You could hold the meetings in a phone booth.
Dive into the pool of sobriety.
This is a good day to stay sober.
Join the tribe.
It is a spiritual law that whenever the lesser sincerely ask the Greater for assistance, the Greater
must respond.
The 12 step programs are a spiritual means of recovery; many of us tried to find an easier
softer way but we could not.
28
The 12 steps are a set of spiritual tools - We have a tool to fit any nut!!!
The big book is a McGuffey reader. Dick and Jane find God one through twelve.
This is a program of how Dick and Jane get well; Not stay sick one day at a time.

More will be revealed.
You may be the only big book a person reads.
We lead by the power of example.
Read the book.
Follow the path of sobriety.
It’s all about accountability and responsibility.
Came, came to, came too believe!
Addictions and recovery is not limited strictly to alcohol. As stated in one of the founders
story - “ A doctor came with a heavy sedative; Next day found me drinking both gin and
sedative”.
Many of us were multi-addicted personalities.
Addiction is a hunger that feeds upon its’ self.
Alcoholic or an addict ? We are all addicted to something- Become addicted to life rather than
being addicted to death.
Alcohol is a drug.
Alcoholics drive through red lights and pot smokers stop at green lights.
We suffered from a case of terminal uniqueness.
29
Look for the similarities, not the differences.
Leave your doubts and prejudices outside the door.
All men are the same color on the inside.

Rolling Thunder
All men are the same color on the inside; I've cut enough of them open and looked!
Attila the Hun
A person wrapped up all into them self makes for a very small package.
Selfishness, self-centeredness, this we think is the route of our problem.
Our lives went from being Me, Me, Me, to We ! We ! We !
Be creative, not destructive.

Sai BaBa
Remember that an alcoholic or addict is first and foremost a human being.
The only thing that binds a man to anyone or anything are his desires and attachments.
Human beings will not let go of anything as long as they believe it serves them well.
Vwymous
Humankind loves to fight and argue for its limitations.
Vwymous
Man is born like a Kirby vacuum cleaner, He comes with many attachments. Mishugeh
Alcohol helps you relax -Relax all the way into the grave.
Chief Fire Eagle
God is the power of love.
Stay sober one day at a time.
Live one day at a time.
Yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery.
If you have one foot in yesterday and the other foot in tomorrow, you’re sprinkling all over
today.
All you have to do is stay sober is just not drink now.
30
Alcoholism has been called a disease of loneliness.
You don’t ever have to drink, use or be lonely again.
They are drinking a disease of loneliness, but it’s better than drinking alone.
Piano Man
It is man who taught man to fear God, judge and condemn. God teaches man to love,
forgive and move beyond it.
DON'T GIVE GOD A BAD NAME!
The fear of God is the greatest sin.
Don’t be a BOO-ist ! BaBa
God loves equality. All are loved equally by God.
Hi - I’m an alcoholic and recovering Catholic.
Replace the fear of God with the love and respect for God.
I was born a “Roman Catholic -I was always roman here, roman there, I was always roman
everywhere.
If I were in the debt collecting business I'd be bankrupt! God
All is one, Be a light unto every one. BaBa
Religion is for people who are afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for people who have
already been there!
So tell me Darling, why is it your afraid of what you don’t believe in?
Dogma is Am-God backwards!
Put dogma before a mirror, add the “I” back before it and you get -
“I AM GOD”
Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven.
31
Knock and the door shall be opened.
Miracles’ are a way of life.
Religion is a direction, not a destination.
We drank religiously with dedication and devotion -Go to meetings and work steps just
the same.
Happiness is the journey.
So tell me Darling, what could God possibly do to you that is worse than what you‘re already
doing to yourself?
We were possessed by an overpowering sense of impending doom.
It was not the fear of dying that got us sober- It was the fear that this hell would never end that
did it.
We suffer from selective perception. We see what we want to see and hear what we want to
hear.
The miracle of recovery proves the existence of God.
Coincidences are little acts of God being anonymous.
Vanquish all fear consciousness.
Fear is remembered pain.
Know the perfect love that cast out fear.
God is the original sponsor of the program.
Faith is the resonance within; God is the source of the resonance.
If you can’t find God, He is not the one who is lost.
Tune into God.
God is a word that has resonance in the soul -Tune In !!!!!!!

Ramtha
Insanity is giving socially acceptable answers for socially unacceptable behavior
We outlived the insanity of our own defiance.

32
God can be known by the practice of deep inner silence - The insanity is we love to argue
about it.
Resistance is futile - BE HAPPY!
Happiness is an inside job.
Would you rather be right or would you rather be happy. (Though some of us were only happy
when we were right!)
We are sure God wants us to be happy, joyous and free.
Of myself I am nothing –The Father doith the work.
God is constantly doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
God grant us victory over alcohol.
God is the doer.
God, grant us perfect and complete release from our affliction.
We were too afraid to live and too afraid to die.
God is not limited to only religion.
No one religion has a monopoly on God.
God demonstrates His self through all religions.
What is AA ? A very poor parish.
We start the meeting with a prayer- We end the meeting with a prayer; but we're not
religious!
Who keeps us clean and sober?
Who is large and in charge?
Our Father.
I had a wonderful epiphany this morning. It cost me three dollars and twenty cents with a cup
of coffee at the bakery!
33
Just because you’re an alcoholic or a drug addict doesn’t mean you have to live the rest of
your life as one.
If you sober up a horse thief you get a better horse thief.
The people that we were would drink again.
What is it that must change about yourself? Not much, just everything!
Trying to force another person to change is like trying to drag an elephant through a key hole,
its’ a very slow and messy process.
We began to swallow some unpalatable truths about ourselves.
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!
- Before you set out to change the world, Change yourself first -
God will do for you what drugs and alcohol could never do.
This program is turning me into Father None, none of this and none of that and
Definitely none of that! Mishugeh
Nuns don’t get none.
Its’ all about the power of NO!
We could never say no to drugs or alcohol.
Recovery is complete freedom from the compulsion and obsession to drink and or use.
Recovered? My couch is recovered.
Practice the Holy Communion of prayer and meditation.
Practice the presence of God.
Freedom and responsibility go hand in hand.
Without desire nothing happens.
We completely loose the desire to drink.
34
Be still and know that I am God.
Believing and knowing are two different things.
The Three Laws of God are:

Live,
Love
And learn.
Know who you are,

Give who you are,
Be who you are.
Sai BaBa
Know who you are and return unto me.
Only God can teach you about God.
God loves grand diversity.
Everybody sees and hears everything through their own filters.
The will of God is to live- The question has always been how?
The How of AA - Honesty -Open-mindedness and willingness - These three are called the
essentials of recovery. This means becoming teachable.
Become honest enough so your insides match your outsides.
If you humble yourself before God you become great- If you make yourself great before God
you become small.
Teach-ability is the essence of humility.
We got tired of learning lessons by the “two by four” method.
Humiliation is the hard way of ego deflation.
One day A woman came walking into a meeting muttering to herself ADFL, ADFl and
another time another woman came into the meeting talking about BOHICA ! - If I ever have
the pleasure of meeting you in person I will tell you what they mean. (The author)
Strangers are only friends we haven’t met yet.
35
The Maker who made you can fix you. Quit breaking what He made.
There is no problem you could possibly have that God can’t handle.
If your God can’t solve your problem, then your God is too small.
If your can't find your God don't worry, I'll loan you mine.
We trust infinite God rather than our finite selves.
Spirit knows no limitation of time or space.
God was either everything or else He was nothing. What was our choice going to be?
God first, me second.
God is running the show.
Ask and allow God to speak and work through you.
We get well by giving up every thing that is making us sick.
You get well by working the steps; you stay well by living the traditions.
You are created in the likeness and image of God. bible
Know thy self.
Only the heart of Man is big enough to contain the religion of God.
We were absolute masters at creating our own insanity.
Religion is Mans’ understanding of God, Spirituality is Gods’ understanding of Man.
God created spirituality -

Spirituality created mankind -
Mankind created religion.
Religion may or may not take you back to the truth of the God that lives inside each and every
one of us.
36
God existed before religion ever began and God will exist after all religions ceases to be.
Man is the truth of all religions -How do we know? If you take man out of all religions the
religions disappear!
BaBa
God is the UNIFIER of all people, not the DIVISOR!

BaBa
You get well by giving up everything that is making you sick.
I drank, I got sick; I came to the program and got well.
You don’t have to know how a TV set works to watch one.
Fear kills -love heals. Sai BaBa
Man is Gods’ favorite pass time.
God doesn’t need a TV set- He has us!
The greatest truth ever told is Gods’ love for us.
Live and let live.
I now no longer have a drinking problem, I have a living problem.
Turn it over.
We preach attraction rather than promotion.
Promotion is talking about the light; Attraction is becoming the light!
I gave you difficult lives so you would seek me.

God
Man is Gods’ greatest treasure.
Everything happens for the good!
The newcomer is the life blood of the program.
God believes in you- Return the favor! Sai BaBa
37
Trust in God, clean house and help others.
When you focus on people problems grow- When you focus on God problems go.
St Germain
This is a God program.
You are either going back to God kicking and screaming or joyously but you are going!
This program is God in action.
God is a verb.
Gods’ last name isn’t dam.
We got sober and found out we had a conscience -Now what do we do?
We preach spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection.
Prayer is talking to God, meditation is listening.
Meditation is not what you think!
Ask him in the morning for sobriety and thank him at night.
If you weren’t a spiritual being you couldn’t have a relationship with a spiritual deity.
Does a fish comprehend the ocean it lives and swims in?
I don’t care if you believe in God or not - Pray any way.
We must perform the seemingly ridiculous so God can perform the truly miraculous.
The activity of yesterday creates the reality of today. The reality of today creates the activity of
tomorrow. Unless you change the activity of today, the reality of yesterday will create the
activity of tomorrow.
Expect a miracle.
Keep coming back until the miracle happens!
Pray to God, He loves to hear strange voices.
We could not think ourselves into right acting but we could act ourselves into right
38
thinking.
Practice the power of prayer.
Fake it till you make it.
If the God talk drives you out the booze will drive you back.
Don’t let the door hit you in your derriere.
So tell me Darling - Why is it you’re so afraid of what you say you don’t believe in?
We were trapped between a rock and a hard place.
Can’t or won’t believe in God ? Then believe in that which created God.
Believe in the power of Sobriety - For it is a Divine Power –being sober for its own
sake.
There are no atheist in fox holes.
The practice of spiritual principles without knowledge or understanding is called blind faith.
We were extreme examples of self will run riot and didn’t think so.
You can do anything you want as long as you take full responsibility for your actions.
Self will dies -Divine will thrives!
With us it was typically a “My way or the highway” attitude and outlook on life.
We had to quit living our lives on the edge of life and death.
My life was a series of calumniates, some of them which really happened!
Do you want some cheese to go with that whine?
I’m the problem -God is the solution
We were the people who learn “Faith through adversity.”
All actions have consequences- Sobriety is the consequence of working the steps.
How does it work? It works when you work it.
Fighting addiction is like fighting King Kong -you’re going to lose!

39
The more you fight an addiction the stronger it becomes.
That which I resist persist.

Master Asun
Resist not evil.
Trying to control this disease is like trying to control a snarling lion by holding it by the ears!
Practice HALT -Don’t get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired.
Surrender to win.
Surrender to the love of God.
Surrender is simply changing sides.
We cease fighting anyone or anything -Even God.
Only God is forever- All else is illusion.
We hope you are done drinking and using.
- Absolute Abstinence-
The attitude is the Father of the Action.

Father Martin
Personal recovery depends on AA unity.
There is good news and there is bad news: The good news is life is forever. The bad news is
life is forever!
Did you ever have one of those life times it just didn't pay to be born? Mishugeh
I don’t care if you believe in reincarnation or not; you are coming back any way!
Eternal life is only a question of location.
Without the FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH OF ETERNAL LIFE, you can’t have the fear and
damnation of eternal hell!
With God there is always a future.
40
If everybody put their problems in the middle of the room and had to choose- They would
choose their own problems.
Be careful what you pray for, you just may get it!
It came to pass but not to stay.
This too shall pass.
Pray for your enemies.
I pray you get everything you deserve!
We learn how to pray for people rather than at people.
Cast the beam out of thy own eye before you complain about the splinter in thy brothers’ eye.
(Bible)
One finger pointing at you -Three pointing back at me!
Powerlessness is the way of power.
Surrender to God as you understand God.
God is the true knowledge of life.

The Glass is half empty,

No the glass is half full,
Neither - The glass contains liquid to 50 percent of its’ holding capacity.
Spiritual insight: Some times in the quest for truth it is really important to see things without
emotional bias.
We are all suffering from a bad case of “truth decay.”

Swami Beyondananda
Nothing happens in Gods universe by accident.
We believe what we feel.
Keep your head in the clouds and your feet on the earth.
41
Bring the body and the mind will follow. Bring the mind and the heart will follow.
It’s all about mind over matter. If I don’t mind, it don’t matter.
We’re not bad people trying to be good - Were sick people getting well.
The proof of anything is does it work.
We were full of old beliefs and old ideas.
Ah heck -We were just full of it!
Failure is only the discovery of that which does not work.
Life is learning the meaning of words. What words are you leering the meaning of?
Words are cups of intentions. Master Asun
Insanity is to stay stuck in it.
Insanity is too keeping doing the same thing expecting different results.
We sat at the feet of God and fell asleep.
The cause of alcoholism is drinking. The cure for alcoholism is not drinking.
There is one cause and one cause only of drug and alcohol addiction. The human body was
never designed for consumption of these substances. Trying to prove this truth wrong goes
directly against the grain of your existence and is a waste of your time and ours. There is no
reason for guilt or shame of any kind in not being able to drink or drug. Know that a so called
normal drinker is only an alcoholic or addict in the making.
Hierarchy
Alcohol is a drug.
A normal drinker is a social construct.
This disease feeds on the power of death; quit feeding it your life!
All diseases live in the blind spot of our lives. This one is no exception.
Take off the blinders.
42
Prey and Predator
Alcohol is the predator and you are the prey.
If the blind leadeth the blind they both fall into a pit.
Bible
I was a slave to King Alcohol.
God is mans’ constant companion.
No man has so much he cannot lose it all!
What is the first hundred years of sobriety? A very good beginning!

Saint Germain
As was once said; “Time Marches On” with or without your consent.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Jesus
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck its' a duck.
Ask God for PERMANENT SOBRIETY ! ( Over and over and over and over ----------)
Praise the Lord – Practice patience, tolerance and love.
We are all beggars before the Lord.
God is the power to live.
 I say yes to life and life says yes to me -

Lord Asun
Say yes to sobriety
Sai BaBa
I give you permission to not drink.

God
It’s all about the power of No -When it came to alcohol we couldn’t say no!
(Also sex, food, you name it, we couldn’t say no to it!)
When God gives you sobriety you say thank you.
43
God restores the power of choice.
This is the only disease that can be so much fun to recover from.
Walk your talk.
Walk with God.
Pick up your cross and follow me.

Pick up your cross of fears, hatreds and resentments and follow me. Pick up your cross of
addictions, compulsions’, and obsessions and follow me. Pick up your cross of confusions pain
and suffering and follow me. Pick up you cross of prejudices, doubts and failures and follow me
through the 12 steps. Emmanu’el
All you got to do to make this program is trust in God and clean house.
I turned on the light in my basement and I found out I had a very dirty one.
He’s a sexual intellectual –Too freak’en smart for his own good !
We never met anyone too dumb too make this program.
Master - How can a man have a door knob as a higher power ? My Son, It is a far more
stable reality than many of the minds of the people who ask the question.
Reality, What a Concept!
Reality and I have not been constant companions.
Reality is for people who can’t handle drugs and alcohol.
Whenever you fight with reality, reality always wins.
A blackout is alcoholic abduction.
I got tired of seeing people in my room whom I didn’t invite to be there.
Gods’ power is in everyone and everything.
Desa-Vu is playing phone and video tag with your higher self.
44
This program is based on believing and achieving.
The old timers solution to prevent relapse was simple- They made it their goal to die sober
and they proceeded to do so.
What I can conceive, I can achieve.

Master Asun
Live and let live.
We were explosive as Hiroshima and Nagasaki!
Have you ever seen the movie Gremlins? We are the people you do not want to get wet or

In side of every one is a white wolf and a black wolf -Which one wins the fight? The one

Resentments are the number one offender.
We were real Jekyll and Hyde personalities.
Resentment is like me drinking poison expecting you to die!
Banish your anger, resentments and violence before they kill you!
Chief Fire Eagle
He who lives by the sword dies by the sword. Bible
Resentment is giving God the finger!
Forgive God.
I ‘m a poor man, I can’t afford to keep any hatred, anger or resentments.
Anger and resentments? I got tired of other people living in my head rent free.
The Christ was never given to mankind to be used as a sword or a club. God
Love and hate are opposite sides of the same coin.
Love your enemies.
The soul is the heart of man.
45
Whenever you point one finger pointing at another person, you have three fingers pointing
back at you.
Whenever you pass judgment upon another you are trespassing on Gods’ property.
Get on the Clue Bus.
A funny thing about resentments -They are only a memory of an experience of something that
has occurred in the past -Even if it is something that happened in the past five seconds!
Don’t sit on the pity pot too long, you’ll develop a ring around your butt!
Be active- Not RE-ACTIVE ! Sai BaBa
How do we know God has a sense of humor? We tell him what we are going to do with our
life and He laughs!
The Law of Love
The one law of God is bring harm to neither yourself or others.
Thou shall commit neither homicide or suicide nor Auto-cide, “That is when you murder
your car!”
We who have been overbearingly wrong for so long, have a pertinacity to be overbearingly
right!
The emotional pendulum swings both ways.
Get off the emotional roller coaster.
Recovery is like peeling an onion, there are many layers.
Recovery is a process.
Recovery is all in Gods’ time and all in Gods way.
De-Nile isn’t a river in Egypt.
De -Nile is a river in Egypt!
What is an alcoholic? An ego maniac with an “in -FEAR-reority” complex!

BaBa
My ego isn't my amego
What you think of me is none of my business.

46
What is an alcoholic? A broke drinker, A stuck thinker, a bad relationship picker and a
real good forgetter!
No No No Mr. Wizard, “I don’t want to be an alcoholic anymore!”
Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic.
You can’t turn a pickle back into a cucumber.
Can God turn a cucumber back into a pickle? Absolutely ! But the cucumber must be
completely willing to do so without any reservation what so ever; and once the pickle has re-
become a cucumber, It doesn’t mean that the cucumber can’t become a pickle again!
What is alcoholic reasoning? “I DRINK- THEREFORE I AM!”
Most people say ‘Waste not - want not.” Alcoholics say ‘waste not; want more!”
A tiger does not change its stripes easily.
We are the Brothers and Sisters of the grape.
Step one is get yourself out of the way so that in step 12 God can work through you and
steps 2 through 11 is everything you have to do to make it happen.
Leaving skid marks all over the 12 steps.
Get in the program.
We drank religiously, with dedication, consistency, devotion and loyalty; Go to meetings

religiously and work steps religiously.
In Russia we have perfect recovery. In Russia we perfectly control our drinking. We

perfectly control our drinking by not drinking it. That is how we do it in Russia!
Meeting makers make it.
It’s not the quantity of sobriety but the quality of sobriety that matters.
Trying to define God is like trying to nail Jell-O to a tree.
Jesus, Moses, Buddha, Mohamed and Krishna all sit at the same table.
Talking about God? Here, let me tell you what perfect silence is like.
47
Only God can be all things to all people.
Choose your own concept of God, in the beginning it is enough.
Abandon yourself to God.
There are no mistakes in Gods’ universe.
Sobriety is for people who can’t handle drugs and alcohol.
Go to ninety meetings in ninety days and don’t drink.
Make one more meeting than you think you need and Go to all the meetings you don’t want to
go to.
Keep going to meetings till you want too.
This is a save your own derrière program.
Go to meetings and don’t drink even if your derrière falls off! If it does, bring it along with
you -We will find a place for it- don’t drink and go to meetings!!!
Meetings are like a bank account - Keep investing!
We paid a very high price to sit in these chairs.
Sobriety? It’s a God thing; cause without God you ain’t gonna get sobriety.
The Original Sin

All human beings are born with the impulse to self-destruct: Alcoholism is but one of its
many mechanisms.
The four direction of Power-
Higher Power, Lower power -Inner power and outer power.
You got to find your higher power, not your lower power.
We sat at the feet of God and fell asleep.
Addiction is cunning, baffling, powerful and patient.
Addiction is cunning, baffling, powerful, and expensive!

48
Addiction is addiction. There are only brands and flavors, and the human beings who create
them.
WITH OUT MANKIND ADDICTIONS CAN NOT EXIST!
A Human being can get addicted to anything! (Money, sex, power prestige, drugs alcohol,
cigarettes, hate, pain, misery and suffering just to name a few).
The addiction controls the life of the person; the person does not control the life of the
addiction.
We were addicted to more!
An alcoholic can use a year’s supply of anything in a month. (Toilet paper would truly be
bad.)
We were a bunch of users and abusers.
Never give the power to turn water into wine to an alcoholic!

Mishugeh
Learn how to drink the perfect wine called the Holy Spirit of pure spiritual life.
Recovery is when you are no longer addicted.
Seek the One who can give you sobriety.
Some people are so badly addicted to their own misery they just won’t let go of it.
We are a people who would not ordinarily mix.
We get well little by slowly.
Love and tolerance is our code.
When you pass judgment or criticism upon another, you are trespassing on Gods handy work!
Worms in a Bottle
A man teaching a class about alcoholism puts a worm into a glass of tequila and after a few
minutes the worm stops swimming around and dies -The teacher ask the class, “So what does
this mean ?” The alcoholic in the class steps up, smiles and proclaims: If you drink you don’t
get worms ! Many alcoholics had thought drinking was the cure for the common cold. They
discovered that when the human body is in a state of continual heavy intoxication germs could
not live in the body; Neither could the alcoholic !

eternal now.

There comes a point of realization that it really doesn’t matter who is at fault or who is to be
blamed, because as long as we hang on to blame and guilt the wrong doings of others real or

occur for the process of real inner healing to begin.
How many times must you forgive? Seven times Seven, No seven times seven times seven,
No seven times seven times seven time seven times seven –

- The Knowledge of God-

There can never be enough knowledge to fill an empty heart.
Afriel
A thing of importance to know is that the knowledge, love and the wisdom , all that is, the
all that adds up to the life of God is endless. The knowledge, the love and the wisdom, the
“flow of life” is a vast limitless fountain that cannot be drained. The more a person learns the
more a person realizes how true this statement is. It is truly endless. The program is directly
derived from the wisdom of God. Wisdom is that truth or if you like knowledge that when
placed into or put into practice will produces results. The simplest question of truth is “does it
work?; “Does it produce the desired result ?”
Modern psychologist have sought what you might call the “Holy Grail of Psychology” - This
“Grail” would be a perfect model that describes the inner workings of all human beings and
would allow the treatment of any condition possible in a person. The 12 step programs in and
of themselves are not perfect; A perfect model does not exist. Instead the program directs us
to seek the source of perfection, that perfection being God consciousness and the program
provides us with a means of doing so. In this the program achieves its’ goal extremely well.
Insight: Spiritual and moral wisdom go hand in hand.

Plato’s Allegory of the Cave
The Greek Master Teacher Plato gave us a description of Mans’ reality and knowledge of
the light from within about 450 BC. Not only is his allegory a good description of the
creative process that brings about our existence; We have been able to duplicate the process!
Think of man living his life in a cave that is totally dark and that man is chained or fixed into
such a position that all he can look at is the cave wall in front of him. His perceptions are
locked into only one way of seeing things - A very limited view point and this creates a very
narrow mind. Behind him are dancers who are moving and behind the dancers is a fire that
illumines the dancers but he can’t see the dancers and he can’t see the fire behind the dancers
because he can’t move his vision that is solidly fixed in front of him. All he sees is shadowy
images or reflections of the dancers that are created by the fire and all he can see is the shadow
images of the dancers that are cast upon the wall of the cave. The cave wall represents all the
man can see of reality or if you like life. He has a very limited view or understanding.
Now we just happen to have an /old Hebrew wisdom teaching that says: Man is the
embellisher of nature. And today we have a perfect working technological example of this
ancient description of reality in our motion picture projectors and movie theaters. We replace
the fire with a high powered light bulb, use reels of movie film to replace the dancers, focus it
all through a lens and put all the people in a nice cumphy theater with a great big movie screen
in front of them they can watch and wah-la ! - You have a perfect example of how God through
man creates reality and how the principles of creation remain constant and we find new and
wonderful expressions and applications of the knowledge.
Plato was clearly describing the “ Fire from within”- The Father of light that is in all of us.
“When thy eyes become single thy whole body will be filled with light.” Bible
Some interesting truths about recovery
The idea of powerlessness is confusing to many people. First and foremost the human body
was neither designed or intended to have alcohol ingested into it. This holds true for all sorts of
other damaging things. If the body can’t consume it for food or use it to heal its self the body
wasn’t meant to consume it. The human body was designed to take food for nourishment -
things that are not food are: Alcohol marijuana tobacco, cocaine heroine, barbiturates, downers,
uppers and in betweens’, and all the synthetic concoctions known as designer drugs. If we
missed any add them to the list. There is no shame or guilt what so ever that a person cannot
drink or for that matter drug. Alcohol has a nature. The effects upon a human body and mind
are destructive and this is an unalterable fact. We are POWERLESS to change the basic
relationship of alcohol to a human body and mind and that relationship is destructive. It doesn’t
matter what liquor companies say, it doesn’t matter what your friends or your parents say about
drugs and alcohol, it is destructive; And if the body wasn’t meant to consume it then that
70
substance or thing will develop a parasitic life force within the body that will consume the body
- This is the underlying cause of compulsions and cravings.
The parasitic life force of the addictive thing or substance demands that you feed it! Hum -
perhaps the old definitions and concepts of demon rum isn’t so insane sounding if you consider
the existence’s of parasitic life forces, And interestingly enough a parasitic life force cannot
exist without the life force it feeds upon and if it has a will of its’ own to survive and continue it
really doesn’t care if it destroys the host and the host life force. Just another self created little
monster of the Id.
Any person who is following a spiritual path is not supposed to consume alcohol or
narcotics in any form, so paradoxically completely giving up alcohol and drugs does become
the beginning step in establishing a deeper relationship with God. There is absolutely no shame
or guilt or weakness of any kind in not being able to drink or drug because the capacity to drink
and drug was never designed into the human body in the first place. The body was not designed
to handle it.
A deeper example of powerless was once described as: Go eat a big meal and then take a
whole bottle of ex-lax and then try control it ! Trying to control addictions are the same.
We cannot change the karma, the nature of drug and alcohol abuse and human beings. This
is to confirm that the cause effect relationship of alcohol, drugs and the human body is
unchangeable. Alcohol will always create weakness in the bonding force that holds the soul
together and when the soul falls completely apart the human body and lower mind dies. It is
this weakling of the bonding force of the soul that we call relaxation.
Another good description of the effects of alcohol or drugs on the human body and the
insanity it causes might be described as trying to polish your car with battery acid. We pour a
bit of battery acid on the paint of the car and start rubbing it, believing it is going to make the
paint shinny but instead it immediately starts to dull the paint. So instead of stopping we pour
more battery acid on the car and now we strip the paint down to the metal surface, and in total
disbelief that the paint has been removed we now pour even more battery acid on the car and
now we start to corrode and dissolve the metal that the car body is made of . This type of
madness and thinking and resultant actions really does exist.
The Will Power of the Alcoholic or Addict
So what is this mysterious power called will? The human body has several powers built
into it. Our bodies do many things for us without our thinking or commanding it to perform.
Spiritually the body has been called the servant of the person, the spiritual being who occupies
that body. If you think about it we do not even have to tell our bodies to perform all sorts of
things that keep us alive. We do not have to consciously think and tell our heart to keep
beating, nor do we have to tell our bodies or even think about telling the digestive system to
turn the food we have eaten into energy that will keep us alive. These functions are really
divine powers that reside within the body At the personal level, All of your biblical talk about
a man and his servants is really talking about the powers of the body and the person’s ability to
control them.
71
Now in the alcoholic and or addict the person has surrendered the God aspect of power
known as the will to drink or use. The powers of the body are very obedient servants that do not
question the orders of the master, the master being the person, the spiritual being who lives in
the body and the body blindly carries out the orders of the person. It actually is a better
description to say that the person has directed or shaped their will to perform the task of staying
drunk or high and the will does not question at all the way the person commands or shape the
will has been made into and once the persons’ will has been completely set by the person to
drink, drug, get high, stay stoned or inebriated -The will through the spiritual power it
commands will then find ways to fulfill the orders of the person even if those orders cause the
misery and death of the person.
What has been difficult for scientist or doctors to understand about addiction, due to the
blindness or if you like the limitations imposed by the senses of the body, And what makes it
seemingly impossible to be rid of an addiction because we get hooked on something through the
emotional connection, made by the power of the will of our personal soul, and we attach our
selves inwardly to the substance or thing and make connection to it in the invisible realms
because the substance or thing has existence in the spiritual world. All things of the physical
world have the cause of their existence in the world soul and that soul exists in the spiritual
world.
Grant Us the Necessary Soul Surgery

By praying to God and asking him to remove the addiction we are asking him to release and
remove our emotional and spiritual attachment, our hooks that keep us attached to the
substance. We must be willing of our own free will to be free of our attachment and thus
dependency upon the thing we are addicted to. When we do this we free the will from the task
of killing us.
Smoking is perhaps one of the simplest to describe. We smoke a cigarette for the first time
and we get sick but we relax, we go with the feelings, we give into it. As we give into or
surrender ourselves to the pleasure we are immediately forming a dependency upon the poisons
and nicotine by the feelings it creates in us. We immediately start to form our bonding and our
attachment. We also get addicted to feeling bad and dirty! Ask any heavy smoker who tries to
quit! For a time he can’t stand feeling clean and good.
To be truly free of an addiction we must release it not only from our physical world but also
from the spiritual world as well - The worlds of soul. Another way of understanding this is too
say the addiction, the compulsion and the obsession becomes integrated into the autonomic
nervous system. We become addicted to something by merging with it. An alcoholic becomes
an alcoholic by merging with alcohol. It becomes as natural for an alcoholic to drink as it is for
him or her to breathe! This also holds true for addicts, pot smokers, pill poppers or even exlax
abusers.
A Daily Reprieve, “Oh Lord, give us this day our daily bread.”
The understanding of a daily reprieve begins with the biblical writings of Moses and the
children of Israel. When Moses was leading the people out of Egypt and through the Sinai
desert, they ran out of food. Moses asked the lord to feed the people, and every morning the
angles manifested a very simple form of food called manna. This spiritual food, this” manna
72
from heaven” is just a concentration of a natural process of life that the ancient prophets and
magi understood very well.
A study of modern biology reveals that all biological life force begins within and emanates
from our physical sun. That life force energy continually pours out from the sun, and as our
planet spins upon its atmosphere, A continual life wave of energy is infused into the planetary
atmosphere . These rays of life giving light begin just before sun rise, and ancient people knew
that they could open their hearts and minds and directly take this energy, this life force from the
life giving angel of the morning into their being. The main aspect of the “daily reprieve”
spiritual approach for the alcoholic is based upon this ancient knowledge.
Another important aspect of the daily reprieve approach is the little known activity of Mary,
Mother of Christ. Mary, Mother of Christ each and every day goes before those great beings of
this entire solar system known as the Lords of Karma to suspend judgment upon the people of
earth. Mary has performed this service for humanity for thousands of years. Her love for
humanity is that great.
Drunk Dreams -The blessing of recovery

When the alcoholic or addict starts having “wet” or using dreams the subconscious is
beginning to clear the patterns that give the addiction the power over the person. It is the “fire
from within” the Divine Energy that consumes the pattern (If you are truly willing to let go of
it) and it is the fire from within that ultimately releases the person from the self created
entrapment. This is but one of an extremely good example of ‘God doing for us what we could
not do for ourselves”.
The lesson of the Rose
If you hold a rose tightly in your grip the thrones will cut you. Whatever you hold too tightly
in the grip of your mind and the power of will also cut you. If you hold the Rose gently in
cupped hands the thrones cannot and will not ever harm you. God holds all of us the same
way.
The blind Men and the Elephant.
Several blind men were asked to describe what an elephant was like. The first found the
trunk of the elephant and said the elephant was like a powerful snake that had an opening at one
end to consume its food. The second found the legs of the elephant and said the elephant was
like trees that could move about. The next blind man discovered the body of the elephant and
said the elephant was like the world, The Divine Mother - incredibly big and powerful and
impossible to understand in one grasp. And the last blind man unfortunately found what came
after the elephant left and he said the elephant was warm wet, steamy, mushy, and smelled very
bad !
Wisdom teaching: Of course the teaching is about the religions of man trying to describe the
nature and being of God through limited perceptions. And there will always be as many
perceptions of truth as there are people to experience them.

Wisdom teaching on Prayer and Meditation.

Prayer is talking to God, Meditation Is listening, we all pray to her, and we all receive from
him. When we pray we send our thought out into the soul of the universe, and She listens to
our request. When we meditate we are listening for the answers He sends to us. Sending and
receiving, speaking and listening, We send and receive to and from the divine masculine and
74
feminine present in all things. We send and receive to the divine masculine and feminine
present within ourselves. Masculine and Feminine -giving and receiving, The Yin and the
yang, The inflow and out flow, the day and the night the life and the death, for everything is
created in the balance of opposites and love is the divine balancing power of creation !
Spiritual tidbit : When you become a student of a great Master and they call you Chela; It
really means Divine Dummy! They talk and think like this; We’ll get the Chela to do it; or We
will send the Chela, He needs the experience or He’s just a Chela and doesn’t know any better
or The Chela did what? Usually followed by great laughter.
Patience
A man dreamed he went to heaven and met a beautiful angel. The angel was showing him all
around the heavenly realms and on the tour they came across enormous warehouses filled with
the most wonderful presents and gifts of every kind. The man asked his angelic tour guide what
all the warehouses full of presents were? The angel gave a sad smiled and said- “These are all
the gifts that mankind has asked God for but didn’t have the patience to wait and receive them”.
Good news and Bad News

A man goes to his minister and ask if there are AA meetings in heaven? The minister tells

news is there are AA meetings in Heaven, the bad news is that He is the guest speaker
tomorrow night!

Honor thy Father and Mother
It is the infinite light and love of our Heavenly Father and Mother that created God.
God is the first individualization of the infinite.
I won’t belong to any organization that would have me as a member!

Groucho Marx
The following teaching comes from the Himalaya mystery school where Ashua Ben Joseph AKA
Jesus the Christ studied the great mysteries and practices of God, and also the modern day
ascended master teachings that sprang forth into the world beginning in the latter part of the
20th century.
76
Each and every one of us is a divinely created being of light and love, individualized and first
begotten and hence only begotten Son or Daughter of Father and Mother God, for that which is
first and only begotten is that which is made of the infinite light and love. It has been said
that “God” did not have any grand children. At the very center of our universe exist the creator
God pair known as Father and Mother God. Hence being First Begotten and only Begotten are
descriptions of qualities of beingness rather than the single identity of any one god or
industrialized or creator being. All people without exception are first and only begotten
children of Father and Mother God. We are all first born, that is too say directly created by
our H evenly and Divine Father and Mother.
The biblical “Honor thy Father and Mother” has many levels of understanding.
This God pair whom reside and create life, existence and reality from the very center, the
very heart of our universe, this is the heart of creation its self. They are truly our Divine
Parents. Before they come together in Divine Life, In Creating Union and to create, that is too
say bring forth exact and perfect spiritual replications of themselves, we did not exist. After
being created, these first and only Begotten of God (That being all of us ) now have true self
consciousness, that being self awareness, and all the attributes and qualities of Divine Mind as
bestowed by The Father and all the qualities and attributes as bestowed by the Divine Mother.
When it is said that we are the Spiritual Children of God and The human race, individualized is
created in the likeness and image of God -. An older teaching is that “Man is God writ small “this
is the great and undeniable truth and the reality of our individuality.
To each and every individualized first and only begotten son or daughter of God -God the
Father bestows His divine mind and God the Mother bestows Her divine Heart. This brings a
whole new meaning and insight to the bottom of page 11 where it is written -”Here was
something at work in a human heart which had done the impossible.“
It is taught that when our God parents created us -We all were given four commandments,
four directives to life..
 "Discover and Express the Eternal Happiness that is your birthright"
 "Give the Immortality I made you, to the Body Temple I created for you"
 "Discover your Infinite Creative Potential and Genius for Self-Expression"
 "I made you Infinitely Abundant. Offer this abundance to all that and those around you.
All hearts sing the sacred name of God RaMa

The name of God is written in the human heart. Make a Fist and say Ra release the fist and

Wild Dogs
77
When wild dogs find food they cannot use or store they will urinate on the food so no other
dog can eat it. Spiritual knowledge and wisdom is food for the soul. Just because you can’t
accept or understand knowledge and wisdom, please do not be a wild dog and ruin it for
someone else.
Sexual Attachments
Attachment through sexual acts literally makes spiritual threads or bonds of emotional
energy between the souls of the people involved. When we separate or end a sexual relationship
we experience the pain, depression and suffering because we tear out the hooks that the energy
threads have created in the souls of the people involved. And when we tear out the hooks of
attachments they leave holes in our emotional bodies-
No pun intended but how many of us are looking for something to fill the holes? The
deep, deep emptiness, the loneliness so many of us live with? These threads and hooks are
not imaginary. If you could see from the light level of the soul, and look at the emotional bodies
of the people who are attached to each other you would see that these emotional energy threads
and the hooks which are the points of attachment really do exist. To be free of an addiction or
compulsion with the power of self will you would have to be able to reach inside yourself,
reach into the center of your own feelings and release the hooks and return the energy threads to
the source. Because there are so few of us who have mastered going into our selves or if you
like working with our own inner planes of reality and our own souls, We must ask our sprit
guides or our angelic protector or whatever deity that gives us access to the indwelling power
and then have faith that the hooks will be removed which frees the attachment and that the
energy threads will be returned to the proper source. One thing you can be sure of is that when
you release the hooks and attachments and you become free of them it is the Divinity, the
Energy, the divine Fire that Is With In Us - will consume the hooks and energy threads, and
when this has occurred the person is completely released from the addiction because he is now
free of the attachment. The memory of the experiences will stay with the person, as a part of
the soul’s recordings of life experience, yet The emotional power and dominance of the
addiction is removed. When you pray to be free of an addiction and are really willing to be free
of the addiction you will experience soul clearing. The soul clearing and healing part of the
healing and releasing process is to relive and re-experience the feelings and memories of what
brought about the attachment in the first place. Lots of Alcoholics’ in recovery report having “
wet dreams” dreams, so real that when they wake up they swear that they were actually out
drinking again. The soul clears the subconscious by reliving the experience. For an example, If
the soul is loaded up with stored feelings of drunkenness then of course during the releasing
process A person can totally re-experience being drunk. This is good because like a magnet
erasing a recording after several passes or reliving to clear the soul of the subconscious the
feelings and real power they possess to keep the person trapped in the addiction is dissipated.
Wisdom teaching: Without the complete clearing process or if you like “forgiveness” You will
never achieve real freedom from an addiction.
The Terrible Price of knowledge Revealed by Delirium Tremens

78
The ever expanding Nature of knowledge and Life.
The first one hundred people who compiled the 12 step recovery program had the wisdom to
include the statement “We realize we know only a little. God will disclose more to you and to
us.
The AA 12 step recovery program was complied with the spiritual and psychological
knowledge available to the founders of their day. The collective consciousness of the species
that is called humanity is expanding. A partial reason for this expansion of consciousness is
that various aspects of knowledge, or if you like spiritual wisdom developed from other
religious and philosophical systems that were once isolated and contained within their own
geographical location and language systems have become available through the rapid
advancement of communication, translation and transportation systems readably available that
were undreamed of a mere seventy years ago. It is difficult for us to imagine that at the time of
the original compilation of the 12 step program that television sets did not exist. The internet
did not exist. Available commercial jet airline transportation did not exist. The now wide
spread era and acceptance of the modern day electronic and data communication age had not
even begun.
It is not the purpose and intention of these writings to discredit the original foundation of the
12 step recovery program; Rather yet to build upon those ideas and truths that integrate the
greater understanding of who and what we truly are that has been made available to the human
race through those avenues of spiritual education and wisdom known as the mystery schools.
During my early in the mid 1970s period; I was challenged by friends if I could figure out
how the 12 step program worked. When asked why and how does this program work the
typically response was “utilize, don’t analyze.” Truthfully people do not know how and why
the 12 step recovery process does work.
Why it works
All spiritual recovery works because it is a law in this universe that whenever the lessor
sincerely asks the greater for help-The greater must respond. This help is given because at the
core truth of any and all human being exist a thinking, feeling person of Divine Consciousness,
being and nature, a child of God.

A Normal Drinker
I went to India and asked a great spiritual master, “ What is the cause of drug and
alcoholism ?” This great teacher looked me directly in the eyes and told me, “Neither the
human mind or body was designed for it -Leave it Alone!” When a Master places his gaze upon
you, with a few simple words a master can and does transmit volumes of information to the
person they are communicating with. The teacher imparted to me the knowledge that drinking
or drugging for pleasurable effect or problem solving goes against the divine intention, you
might say the very purpose and reason the human body’s exist. By drinking we are forcing the
body to assimilate chemicals it truly was not designed for or intended to use. Some people’s
bodies can make this adaptation and others peoples bodies simply cannot make adapt to the
effects of alcohol or drug ingestion. Whether a human body has the capacity to adapt to alcohol
consumption or not, the idea of the existence of a so called normal drinker is an absurdity, a true
79
social contrivance, because even a so called normal drinker are forcing their bodies to adapt to
chemical reactions that the body simply was not designed to accommodate.
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be
opened to you. Mathew 7 7
Oh great Master –What is the cause of drug and alcohol addiction? “Neither the human mind of
body was designed or intended for it –LEAVE IT ALONE !
The “We” of the program

We of Alcoholics Anonymous are more than one hundred men and women who have
recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. To show others precisely how We
have recovered is the main purpose of this book.
The forward to the first edition of the book is written as narrative form. The “We” of
Alcoholics Anonymous refers directly to the more than One hundred men and women who have
recovered. Whenever the word “we” appears in the book it is always referring to the “more
than one hundred men and women.” It has been said that “If you want what “We have, you
have to do what We did.” I will humbly take a small authors liberty and refer to the “more than
one hundred men and women respectfully as” the first one hundred. “
To emphasize and bring clarity to the recovery process, The first step is intended to read, We,
the first one hundred, admitted we were powerless over alcohol, that our lives had become
unmanageable. We must apply the same understanding to the second step, that being, came to
believe that a power greater than our selves could restore us to sanity. (the “us” being the more
than one hundred men and women). This narrative understanding of We, our and us becomes
important in the understanding of the third step –for it is written, Made a decision to turn our
will and our lives over to the care of God as We understood him is extremely important.
Webers Law the JND

One way an addiction does trap a person into a false sense of security and yet continue to
create death and destruction within the body has been identified as the JND, that being the Just
Noticeable Difference. Simply stated, if we change the rate of stimulus in an environment
slowly, the nervous system adjusts its self to accept the new level of stimulus as normal. People
have been known to boil alive in hot tubs because of this phenomena.
An experiment proving this process shows how a frog’s nervous system can be tricked. A frog
is placed in an open container of water. The container also contains a food source, The frog can
leave the container any time it chooses by simply jumping out. The water is at a comfortable
temperature for the frog, and as long as the frog feels it has everything it wants, it is happy, it
has no reason to leave the container. Now if we start raising the temperature of the water
slowly, say a few degrees per hour, the frogs body will adjust to this change in stimulus and the
frog still believes that everything is ok, that all is normal. As time passes and the temperature
80
increases and the frogs nervous system keeps adjusting to increasing temperature, the frog does
not perceive the increasing danger that is threatening its life. Eventually the temperature
increases to the boiling point and so is the frog and
of course it is too late to save toe frog because it has been boiled alive, even though it could
have left the environment and conditions that took its life only if it could have realized what
was happen to it. Drugs and alcohol addiction takes many of its victims due to the slow long
term effects it produces over a long period of time. This process can continue for years. Just
like our boiled frog, the alcoholic or drug really thinks everything is normal even though friends
,employers and family may try and tell them otherwise, Why because our own nervous system
and sense of inner security and well being has been tricked into a false and deadly lie. This has
been called the insidiousness of the disease. Another way to express this understanding is too
nickel and dime someone to death; by continually making small price increases in some
essential service till one day that service cost more than people can afford. Alcohol and drugs
of the course of many years will nickel and dime to death your health, your wealth and
eventually your life.
Do ye not know we are all sons and daughters of the Most high God ? Jesus
The more than one hundred men and women as mentioned in forward to the first edition who
authored the big book will be refereed too as “The first one hundred.”
Perhaps it is a good idea to explore what is our revealed relationship to “God” as taught in the
divine mystery schools before we identify the God concept “As we under stood Him” of the
first one hundred as written in the 12 step recovery program.
The following teaching comes from the Himalaya mystery school where Ashua Ben Joseph
AKA Jesus the Christ studied the great mysteries and practices of God, and also the modern day
ascended master teachings that sprang forth into the world beginning in the latter part of the 20th
century.
Each and every one of us is a divinely created, individualized and first begotten and hence only
begotten Son or Daughter of Father and Mother God. It has been said that “God” did not have
any grandchildren. At the very center of our universe exist the creator God pair known as Father
and Mother God. Hence being First Begotten and only Begotten are descriptions of qualities of
beingness rather than the single identity of any one god or industrialized or creator being. All
people without exception are first and only begotten children of Father and Mother God. We
are all first born, that is too say directly created by our H evenly and Divine Father and Mother.

The understanding of a daily reprieve begins with the biblical writings of Moses and the

Begotten children is that great.
We the human race as a species are spiritually starving to death.

As taught in modern college biology –The very life force that comes directly from the physical
Sun loses ninety percent of its nourishing ability to sustain life each and every time this vital
life force energy is changed through the food chain. This vital life force –(the real blood of
Christ) Enters the oceans and is converted into plant food. All the living beings that depend
upon this source of life energy use ninety percent of it to maintain their own existence; and the
next step in the chain of life –those who consume the plant kingdom only receive one tenth of
the original energy that was ingested by the plant kingdom. The animals that feed upon the
plant kingdom themselves again reduce the available life force energy by another ninety percent
-When human beings eat and consume animals they are receiving only one hundredth of a
percent of the original life force energy we all were all Divinely Intended to receive to sustain
and maintain our lives and existence.
The result is that we as a species capable of living for hundreds if not thousands of years have
reduced our life span even below the one hundred fifty years allotted to each one of us -

Hear me - I am a Man before you, one of your many children. I am small and weak; I need

The lessons and meaning you have hidden in every leaf and rock. I seek strength O Great
Spirit, not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to fight my worst enemy, myself.
Make me ever ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eye so that when life fades as
the sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.

The Lord’s Prayer - As Translated from the original Aramaic

Oh- Cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration - Soften the ground of our being and cause a
space within us where your presence can abide. Fill us with your creativity so that we may be
empowered to bear the fruit of your mission. Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance
with your desire. Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to
grow and flourish. Unite the tangled threads of destiny that binds us, As we release others from
the entanglement of past mistakes. Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from
our true purpose, but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment. For you are the
ground and the fruitful vision; As all is gathered and made whole once again.
Amen

Matthew 6:9–13 (ESV) "Pray then like this: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil.'"
John to Jesus -”Master where is this kingdom you speak of ? John my kingdom is inside you.”
Why humankind can not conceive of a creator God.
Nine missing words from the teachings of Jesus
“What is true of me is true of you”

Jesus
God is our Deliberately Veiled Truth

We al are first born, each and every one of us are first born of God. We are created in the
likeness and image of God .
When fully spiritually developed , the great truth and power within each and every one of us
is the ability to conceive of an idea and make it living reality.
We are all created in the Great Central Sun at the very spiritual center of this entire universe.
As directly revealed by Goddes Mother Akasha - We were given free will to create any thing
we so chose- We are endowed with the true power of creation We, as first born and only
begotten spiritual beings are direct children of the immaculate conception. To ensure our
survival -Our creator God parents put a safety mechanism to ensure our eternal life of spiritual
evolution. We can conceive of any thing except one thing and that one thing -the one forbidden
fruit is our absolute inability to conceive of our own non-existence. Because of this we are not
capable of conceiving our selves as having a point in time were we did not exist. This means
that we can not un- create our selves .We can not blink our selves into oblivion. -Nor can we
un- create the God truth residing in another person. We can not un.-create the God truth
residing within our selves. If our nature was not of this infinite and unlimited truth -It would
be impossible to conceive and create a place of eternal damnation called hell - In the all of
creation and the universe We are the only Gods who pass judgment and damnation upon our
own kind. No one else does. Itb is not until an individual evolves and advances all the way
back to the creator god source of this universe and you can observe the very process by which
we are given our individuality can one realize that indeed we do have a beginning -A point in
creation where We first began.
“Know the truth and the truth will set you free”
Jesus
The ten commandments encompass The law of harmless – The law of harmlessness is the law
of the prophets and the law of life.
84
Life is like riding a bicycle- You can only stay balanced when moving forward.
Einstein
IAM is the name of God.

The following teaching comes from the Himalaya mystery school where Ashua Ben Joseph
AKA Jesus the Christ studied the great mysteries and practices of God, and also the modern day
ascended master teachings that sprang forth into the world beginning in the latter part of the 20th
century.
Each and every one of us is a divinely created, individualized and first begotten and hence only
begotten Son or Daughter of Father and Mother God. It has been said that “God” did not have
any grand children. At the very center of our universe exist the creator God pair known as
Father and Mother God. Hence being First Begotten and only Begotten are descriptions of
qualities of beingness rather than the single identity of any one god or industrialized or creator
being. All people without exception are first and only begotten children of Father and Mother
God. We are all first born, that is too say directly created by our Hevenly and Divine Father
and Mother.
It is taught that when our God parents created us -We all were given four commandments, four
directives of life.
 "Discover and Express the Eternal Happiness that is your birthright"
 "Give the Immortality I made you, to the Body Temple I created for you"
 "Discover your Infinite Creative Potential and Genius for Self-Expression"
 "I made you Infinitely Abundant. Offer this abundance to all that and those around you.
We do not see the world as it is -We see the world as we are.
Doing Gods will of spiritual transformation is by displacement and sublimation
The TAO – (The way)

By dying every night and being born again every morning-
Ending the pain of separation

God does not judge a butterfly for the sins of a caterpillar because the butterfly resembles the
caterpillar very little even though the caterpillar is the source it came forth from.
Before the universe existed there was spirit consciousness. Spirit consciousness gave birth to
the entire universe. Spirit consciousness then gave birth to us. and then put all us in the
universe. Religion is about worship - spirituality is about growth and development leading
back into evolution of God with relationship through the Holy Spirit.
Power within
85
The great deep and secret power of God buried deep within each and ever one of us is the
power and ability to conceive of an idea and bring it forth as a living being of manifest reality.
You can take religion out of spirituality but you can not take spirituality out of religion because
spirit is the source and center of every one and every thing.
God does not judge a butterfly for the sins of a caterpillar because the butterfly resembles the
caterpillar very little even though the caterpillar is the source it came forth from.
A Higher Power ?
There is your higher power, your lower power-your inner power and your outer power.
There is God above me -There is God below me -Their is God within me and God outside me.
Forgive me but here it goes -
The Omnipresence of God
IAM here, IAM there -Iam every where

– Even in your under -ware
Under ware ? under ware -
Even in your under ware !
The pain and suffering of birth is the price of admission into this world and the pain and
suffering of the cross is the price of admission into the next -
One man can start a forest fire yet once fully raging, no one man can put it out.
* This truth was removed from the teachings by Emperor Constantine in the first counsel of
Nicea l in 325 AD
A power greater than ones own self
The Great Law of God
The great law of God is that the Creator is always greater and will always remain greater than
the creation.
God is all about people
Alcoholism is a corruption of the will.
Relationship with God is all about right attitude.

86
Why the Father of light that presides over all ? Because we are beings made of light.
Man is the living will of God
We are spiritual beings having a limited human experience
The disease of alcoholism is an intelligent bacterial infection that takes over the mind
destroying the host in the process-
Twin Flames
When God created a divine flame, out of it comes two flames, one flame male one flame
female . These flames then typically go in different direction travel through out the universe
and eventually meet up again through the power of divine attraction.
Twin flames create and can inhabit either a male body or a female body depending upon their
desires, lessons a desired development so you can have a male flame in a male body or a male
flame in a female body. A female flame in a female body or a female flame in a male body. Its
all about free will choice.
The 12 steps are the Father principle -The 12 Steps are the Mother Principle
Fear clouds the mind -Fear blinds
How powerful is alcohol ? A silver back gorilla can bench press 4600 Lbs -That is more weight
than most American cars - Yet alcohol can take out a silver back gorilla. when it comes to
alcohol and addictions, just how powerful do you really think you really are ?
A human being is a God consciousness being living in an animal body.
Alcoholism is a disease of the will that blinds and controls the mind.
The disease of alcoholism begins and lives in the will of the body and through the will, it takes
over the mind and then only the light can displace, diminish and eradicate it.
The activities of the past, present and future must be treated differently.
Let your language reflect the quality of your sobriety and the truth of who and what you are.
God creates grand diversity -Man creates grand adversity.
In my Fathers house there are many mansion - in my Fathers house there are many dimensions
of time.
87
There are only two forces. The force of life and the force of death and in truth, there is only
one. Alcohol and addictions hook us into the force of death. Only the God from within can
release us from the hooks of addiction.
Time is relative to the observer. Change the point of observation and you change the
dimensions of time.
Death is always the hunter
Death is the great teacher of the mystery
Failure is our greatest teacher
Moths to a candle -The Fear of the light-

Have you ever watched how moths will fly around a candle flame ? They are naturally
drawn to the light yet never fly into the light. They just keep circling around and around the
candle flame yet never going into the candle flame. The very power of the candle flame keeps
them at a distance because the moth knows that it will be destroyed by the flame yet has no
power to stop being drawn towards and into it. Death teaches us that we are not the moths
circling the flame but teaches us that we are actually the flame its self.
The Secret of the Name of God

God is a power word and a door way to that which is greater.
The meaning of the name “God” has been lost in time. Masters of days gone by knew how to
use the name of God and could speak the word. The master knew that the infinite source of
God (God ) was all around him in the presence of the Holy Breath of spirit. The master knows
that we all live in this infinite ocean of spirit- That the entire universe lives and exist
in this infinite consciousness. The masters knew how to use the holy breath by first filling his
lungs to capacity and then on the exhale of his breath speak the name “God “ placing emphasis
on the G- the Go and when properly pronounced and in proper rhythm with the expenditure this
would open a power center in the throat of the master granting the master access to the Holy
Spirit directly so that the master could then speak into manifestation all that he desired to bring
forth and create.
The perfection of God

Matthew 5:48 King James Version (KJV) 48 "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your
Father which is in heaven is perfect." Jesus.” Being perfect, having no mortal fears-
having no weaknesses -no weakness in the very fiber of our being -Being perfect in all
qualities and properties in and as an immortal -must also describe the qualities and
characteristics of a Christ Untouchable, perfect and immortal spirit consciousness -
For death becomes no more -as if it never was ,for only God can stay the hand
of death -
A Walk through The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous
As Gods people we crawl before no one

88
That which created God created you and I and lives inside each and every one of us -
A simple reliance upon the spirit of the universe-
What is God ? God is a name that the Ancients could use to best describe the infinite source of
silence that all of life, existence and creation comes forth from -The best description of the
name and and the sound of that divine intelligence acting to create and bring forth the all of life
and existence is “God.” And old Rabbinical description of this activity is that:
“God is Goding.”
Human beings are like turtles -They only make progress when they stick their necks out-
Their are two types of sobriety -There is the sobriety you get by only going to meetings and
there is the sobriety and freedom you get from the big book.
The human body is the bottomless pit of desire
This is a divine suggestion – If you want to live do these things
Christ principle, Christ consciousness, Christ beingness
Faith is knowing that what ever happens in this world or the next that it will be all right -
It came to pass put not to stay-
This too shall pass
God is perfect mind and body
Prayer and meditation is all about attention, focus and concentration.
God the self existent created us to be god the self existent
By Attainment
This whole universe began as a point of light no bigger than a grain of sand -
God exist for the miracle of attainment for its self -
The Ten Commandments

The theme, the underlying principle of the ten commandments is the law of harm-
less-ness -Bring no harm to your self or to others or to life -This is really only
achievable as a fully realized Christ Creator Being of “Cause Alone” Hence we are on a
path that teaches progress towards the march of perfection; And we are all in deed “a
work in progress.”
89
Man is the word Made Flesh **
We are beings of light -Man is the word made flesh, as living embodiment's of
knowledge encoded into light. The “Father of light” is the source of our divine living
intelligence.
Since no one on earth ever originated from here -We in truth are the alen's ! If you want to see
ET just look at the the next person you see or even the person you see in the mirror.
Einstein and his work, the theory of relativity is one of my hero's. ((His famous equation ( E=MC^2)). Energy
is equal to mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. This really is no more complicated than basic
algebra. The absolute genus of this is who could possibly conceive of the speed of light squared ?-The speed of
light times the speed of light as a function and principle of creation and this universe !
God and Dog

“Man who does not believe in God becomes dog. Dog who believes in God becomes man.”
Islam
Both “God and Dog” exist in each and every one of us. The human body is considered the dog
(the human animal nature) and We, the intelligent self aware individual is intended to develop
our selves into “god.”
When we are totally controlled by nothing but our desire nature with all of its pitfalls for
human desire has been called the never ending bottomless pit ,for the desire nature can not be
fulfilled and satisfied by any thing outside of the body, and when we are living and existing to
only fulfill the desire nature we are being nothing other than a dog.
Praise be to Allah
When you are in touch with an image of a peron place or thing you are in touch with that person
place or thing.
How to get in touch with any Ascended Master or Being -
Human beings are a lesser god in the creation chain -

When we focus the power of our attention upon the image (a picture) of any ascended master
or being in the higher dimensions (or worlds) of light, a little light like a flash bulb going off is
seen by them and they look into who is contacting them and can then decide what is appropriate
action to take, or even send a replication of them selves to answer the person reason for
contacting them. And they, like all other beings of free will and divine intelligence; They can
decide to act or not answer depending upon their own evaluation of the reason for contact with
them.

of All Grace, ***
