PROTECTING WHAT WE HOLD MOST DEAR -
"Because carrying
the message is so im-
portant, many groups
take inventory periodical-
ly to help ensure that our
primary purpose is still in
focus. The Twelve Tradi-
tions may be used as an
outline for a group in-
ventory." (It Works,
How & Why, p.
119)
STORM CLOUDS TO AVOID WHEN CARRYING THE MESSAGE -
"... we found it
necessary to post
only two storm sig-
nals: A group ought
not do anything which
would greatly injure A.A.
as a whole, nor ought
it affiliates itself with
anything or any-
body else." (12
& 12, p.
146)
"As far as
we can discern,
the sole purpose of
human existence is
to kindle a light in
the darkness of
mere being."
- Carl Jung (1875 - 1961) Swiss psychologist
HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
