THE TRICK IS TO LISTEN AFTER HAVING YOUR SAY -
"As for prayer and meditation, I learned that prayer ... could be simply talking to God [or my HP]." "[And] all meditation was to listen to God just being quiet and clearing my mind ... ." (Paths to Recovery, p. 116)
HOW MEDITATION OPENS THE FLOODGATES OF LOVE -
"A great reward of our meditation is that we come to respond more gently when our attention strays. We cultivate a more loving relationship with ourselves, others, and our Higher Power. We start to replace criticism with acceptance and forgiveness." (MA, Life w/ Hope, p. 59)
"The first
duty of love is
to listen."
- Paul Tillich (1886 - 1965) German-
American existentialist theologian
