REMOVING "THE GROUND GLASS" -
"The moral inventory is a cool examination of the damages that occurred to us during life and a sincere effort to look at them in a true perspective. This has the effect of taking the ground glass out of us, the emotional substance that still cuts and inhibits." (As Bill Sees It, p.140)
ACCESSING OUR H.P. IN THE NOW -
"Our actions may have left permanent physical or emotional scars... . We must somehow learn to live with such things." "We may have difficulty in forgiving ourselves, but we can ask for the forgiveness of a loving God [or H.P.]" (NA, It Works, How & Why, pp. 64 - 65)
"As long as you
are unable to access
the power of the Now,
every emotional pain that
you experience leaves
behind a residue of
pain that lives on
in you."
- Eckhart Tolle (1948 - ) spiritual philosopher
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
