STEP 6 BEGINS
"Were entirely ready
to have God (or HP) re-
move all these defects
of character."
THE DILEMMA -
"The key words
"entirely ready" under-
line the fact that we want to
aim at the very best we know
or can learn. How many of
us have this degree of
readiness?" (12 &
12, p. 65)
THE SOLUTION -
"The lifelong process
of the Sixth Step is just
that a process." "Our job
is to become entirely ready
and to open our hearts and
minds to the deep internal
changes that can only be
brought about by the
presence of a loving
God [HP]."(It Works,
How & Why,
p. 42)
"It's not that
some people have
willpower and some
don't. It's that some
people are ready to
change and oth-
ers are not."
- James Gordon, M.D. - holistic healer
HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
