Analysis: The Resonance of Collective Wisdom

Today’s Zonr post illuminates the divine resonance within a Higher Power. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions defines this as a group conscience. We unearth hidden truths through mutual listening and deep respect. This sacred process reveals solutions that individuals cannot find alone. It Works: How and Why describes this beautiful, emerging consensus. We consult our personal understanding of a loving, guiding spirit.

Mahatma Gandhi believed a “still small voice” guides every human soul (Gandhi, 1948). This internal authority mirrors the wisdom found in recovery circles. Consequently, we surrender individual control to the greater communal good. Wellbriety teachings echo this vital and sacred connection. “In the circle, we are all equal” (White Bison, 2002, p. 32). This profound equality allows the Great Spirit to speak clearly.

Seekers must set aside personal agendas to hear others’ hearts. These quiet interactions create a vibrant tapestry of shared hope. True spiritual freedom comes from following this shared moral compass. Eventually, the group reflects the light of a loving universe.

UNA FORMA ALTERNATIVA DE CONCEBIR UN PODER SUPERIOR A NOSOTROS MISMOS – PASO 10

NUESTRA AUTORIDAD ÚLTIMA –

“Para el propósito de nuestro grupo solo hay una autoridad fundamental: un Dios amoroso tal como se exprese en la conciencia de nuestro grupo.” (12 y 12, p. 132)

LA CONCIENCIA SENTIDA POR TODOS –

“A medida que los miembros se escuchan atentamente unos a otros y consultan su comprensión personal de un Dios amoroso, algo sucede: las soluciones a los problemas se vuelven evidentes… Al desarrollar una conciencia de grupo, surge un claro entendimiento mutuo o consenso.” (Funciona: cómo y por qué, p. 99)

CITA DE SWEDENBORG –

“La conciencia es la presencia de Dios en el hombre.”

— Emanuel Swedenborg (1688 – 1772)


Análisis

El análisis ilumina la resonancia divina dentro de un Poder Superior. Doce Pasos y Doce Tradiciones define esto como una conciencia de grupo. Desenterramos verdades ocultas mediante la escucha mutua y el respeto profundo. Este proceso sagrado revela soluciones que los individuos no pueden hallar solos. Funciona: cómo y por qué describe este hermoso consenso emergente. Consultamos nuestro entendimiento personal de un espíritu amoroso y guía.

Mahatma Gandhi creía que una “voz pequeña y silenciosa” guía cada alma humana (Gandhi, 1948). Esta autoridad interna refleja la sabiduría hallada en los círculos de recuperación. Por consiguiente, entregamos el control individual al bien común mayor. Las enseñanzas de Wellbriety se hacen eco de esta conexión vital y sagrada. “En el círculo, todos somos iguales” (White Bison, 2002, p. 32). Esta profunda igualdad permite que el Gran Espíritu hable claramente.

Los buscadores deben dejar de lado agendas personales para escuchar otros corazones. Estas interacciones silenciosas crean un tapiz vibrante de esperanza compartida. La verdadera libertad espiritual proviene de seguir esta brújula moral compartida. Eventualmente, el grupo refleja la luz de un universo amoroso.

    When a decision is needed it’s very important to have a group conscience that way everybody can agree or work towards what needs to be completed together…

    Yes, I find great perspective and wisdom when I talk with friends before making a choice. When making a decision I like to consider as many options as possible. The same wisdom often comes to me in unexpected times and places. During a meeting, there is often wisdom shared that provides insight into a totally unrelated thing, yet perfectly answers a question. When I am mindful and listen to that small voice, I gain knowledge and wisdom for free.

    Thank you for sharing recovery with me.

    The group or a group is well adept at confirming or dis-confirming that which I think I know about myself.

    True, tilting at windmills may sound heroic in fairy tales but finding group consensus is how big things are done in a big way.

    I have found the group conscience to be miraculous. I sometimes disagree with the Group Conscience and in each case where I d disagree, I have found lessons in the work and the outcome. As Easy-Does-it said, the Group wisely trumps the ego every single time.

    I think the group conscience allows hp s work as opposed to ego work within the group. a universal effort is always strongest.
