OUR EGO MAY TELL US ONE THING -
"Pride says,
'You need not
pass this way' and
Fear says, 'You
dare not look!'"
(12 & 12, p.
49)
BUT OUR NEW SPIRITUAL PROGRAM TELLS US QUITE ANOTHER -
"... no longer ruled by a fear of admitting our mistakes." "No longer needing to appear to the world as perfect people, we can live more fully, having the courage to face up to our mistakes ... ." (OA, p. 104)
"Facing it,
always facing it.
That's the way to
get through.
Face it."
- Joseph Conrad (1857 - 1924) Polish novelist

*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
