FIRST KNOWING THAT PEACE IS "A PRICELESS GIFT" -
"By this time, in all probability, we have gained some measure of release from our more devastating handicaps. We enjoy moments in which there is something like real peace of mind. To those of us, who have hitherto known only excitement, depression, or anxiety - in other words, to all of us - this newfound peace is a priceless gift." (12 & 12, p. 74)
AND THAT ANY AMOUNT OF PEACE OF MIND IS NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT -
"The process of the Seventh Step brings about a peace of mind that we never dreamed possible. We sense that what is present throughout our search for spiritual growth is our ability to feel our Higher Power's love for us." "It doesn't matter that we will not attain a state of perfection or complete humility in our lifetime." (It Works, How & Why, p. 53)
"Affirm divine calm-
ness and peace, and send
out only thoughts of love and
goodwill if you want to live in
peace and harmony. Never
get angry, for anger poi-
sons your system."
- Paramahansa Yogananda (1893 - 1953) renowned Bengali Yogi
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself. Like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
