An Analysis of: Today We Can Co-create a New Reality with Great Ease and Grace
Today’s SFZ explores the practice of co-creation and spiritual partnership through the lens of recovery, prayer, and inner awareness. Drawing on Step Two of the 12-Step tradition, it reflects a shift from self-reliance to divine collaboration. Carl Jung, whose ideas influenced the 12 Steps, emphasized the necessity of a “vital spiritual experience” for transformation. This step invites us to believe in a power greater than ourselves—a foundational moment of humility and possibility.
The excerpt from The Big Book acknowledges the challenges of sexuality and moral discernment. It calls for prayer, sanity, and guidance. Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk and mystic, believed prayer cultivates inner clarity and moral strength. Likewise, praying for “the right ideal” empowers individuals to transcend impulsive behavior and act with intention.
How Al-Anon Works illustrates co-creation as an active, daily practice. Listening for inner guidance before speaking or acting reflects Parker Palmer’s view that “the soul is shy.” This requires slowing down and trusting intuition, which Brene Brown calls an “emotionally attuned practice.”
The quote from Christian Morgenstern reminds us that creativity must be participatory. Co-creation isn’t passive—it demands engagement. Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way, asserts that we’re most alive when we create in partnership with the divine.
Ultimately, co-creation blends action and surrender. It means showing up, listening deeply, and acting with grace. As we align with our Higher Power, even difficult situations become opportunities for growth, transformation, and authentic expression.
