“But after a while we had to face the fact that we must find a spiritual basis of life—or else.” (Page 44, Big Book)
Not a ‘spiritual part of the programme’. A ‘spiritual basis of life’. Of life—of everything. That means my entire life is based on the idea of asking God to direct my thinking, asking God for the right thought and action, and getting on with it. No need for anything else. Letting go of all other supports. Other resources might inform a little, but ultimately it’s down to the eradication of self so I can listen to the voice within.
