 Analysis: The Alignment of Will

Struggle often masks a deeper disconnection. The Basic Text encourages us to pause. We stop relying solely on self-centered force. Direction comes from our Higher Power. Life changes when we release control. This surrender solves many persistent problems.

Willpower serves us best through proper alignment. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions defines this shift. Misuse of our drive caused past pain. Now, we aim our intent toward noble purposes. Rebecca West viewed life as an adventurous journey. Our desires should nurture the human soul.

Wellbriety teachings offer a clear path forward. “We harmonize our will with the Great Spirit” (White Bison, 2002, p. 102). Viktor Frankl also championed this sense of purpose (Frankl, 1946). He taught that meaning heals the deepest wounds. We find strength in our shared community goals. Action becomes a force for positive change. Every decision reflects our newfound peace. We flourish through this gentle surrender.

REDIRECCIONANDO NUESTRA TREMENDA FUERZA DE VOLUNTAD COMO UN JUGGERNAUT IMPULSADO POR LA GENTE PARA UN CAMBIO POSITIVO – PASO 3

LA VIDA NO TIENE POR QUÉ SER UNA LUCHA –

“…empezamos a aprender cómo dejar de luchar.” “Si nos tomamos el tiempo para pensar y buscar dirección antes de actuar, ya no tenemos que actuar basándonos en nuestra voluntad egocéntrica. Entregar nuestra voluntad y nuestras vidas al cuidado de nuestro Poder Superior proporciona una solución a los problemas creados por una vida basada en la propia voluntad, el resentimiento y el control.” (El Texto Básico, p. 20)

AHORA PODEMOS VIVIR UNA VIDA LLENA DE LO QUE ALIMENTA NUESTRA ALMA –

“Es cuando intentamos hacer que nuestra voluntad se ajuste a la de Dios [o a la de su Poder Superior] cuando comenzamos a usarla correctamente. Para todos nosotros, esta fue una revelación maravillosa. Todo nuestro problema había sido el mal uso de la fuerza de voluntad.” (12 y 12, p. 40)

DAME REBECCA WEST –

“La vida debería ser una lucha de deseo hacia aventuras cuya nobleza fertilice el alma.”

Dame Rebecca West (1892 – 1983)

Análisis

La lucha a menudo oculta una desconexión más profunda. El Texto Básico nos anima a hacer una pausa. Dejamos de depender únicamente de la fuerza egocéntrica. La dirección proviene de nuestro Poder Superior. La vida cambia cuando soltamos el control. Esta rendición resuelve muchos problemas persistentes.

La fuerza de voluntad nos sirve mejor a través de una alineación adecuada. Doce Pasos y Doce Tradiciones define este cambio. El mal uso de nuestro impulso causó dolor pasado. Ahora, dirigimos nuestra intención hacia propósitos nobles. Rebecca West veía la vida como un viaje aventurero. Nuestros deseos deberían nutrir el alma humana.

Las enseñanzas de Wellbriety ofrecen un camino claro hacia adelante. “Armonizamos nuestra voluntad con el Gran Espíritu” (White Bison, 2002, p. 102). Viktor Frankl también defendió este sentido de propósito (Frankl, 1946). Enseñó que el significado sana las heridas más profundas. Encontramos fuerza en nuestras metas comunitarias compartidas. La acción se convierte en una fuerza para el cambio positivo. Cada decisión refleja nuestra paz recién encontrada. Florecemos a través de esta rendición amable.

    When I do something alone, I am very single minded, and I may fall into old thought patterns. But when I ask for help, it gives me a variety of answers, possibly a better one than I could’ve had alone.

    Somebody in the program was asking about my higher power so I told them all the wonderful things that he is doing for me, including navigating me through some very difficult hurdles… this person was very grateful that I took the time to sit down with them and tell them my story…
    This is a perfect example of being in spiritual alignment

    When I try to go it alone, without seeking help, I stumble and fall. Asking for help and seeking assistance, starting with my Higher Power leads to solutions and eases the burden.

    Thank you for sharing recovery with me. Grateful.

    Everyday I ask Spiritual being wiser than me for guidance, and protection. After a nasty fall, and weeks of bad luck in the past at one point I just have felt that HP wasn’t there maybe or that the alignment that should be there, wasn’t there at all. I’m taking the right steps, and wanting to have wiser thoughts, intead of giving in to impulsiveness, so that should show to a degree that my HP or spiritual being of great wisdoms wants to put me on the right path.

    When I stop trying to control everything, life begins to become easier in some ways and events occur as intended. I trust in the process of things and life has a purpose for me.

    Trying to control everything is exhausting and unproductive. Controlling myself is much more manageable.

    When I’m in the zone through prayer and meditation, and able to help others when problems arise. That’s a really good feeling, to me 🙂

    In order for the alignment to happen I first turn my will over to him by saying if you want me to embark on this adventure… for example , I was invited to Arizona for a week to stay with a good friend so instead of just going on my own will without asking my higher power, I would ask my higher power if you want me to go to Arizona open the door wide, if not please slam it shut… therefore whatever the outcome is our perfect alignment…

    Love. When I am in alignment with Love, then my HP and Spirituality are aligned. My HP is Love, my language is Love and I seek love which is without judgement or expectations. Pure unconditional Love.

    I’ve heard this called “being in alignment” before. Didn’t think of it as aligning my ego with my higher power but totally makes sense. I can’t think of specifics but every time I’m kind or compassionate, I’m in alignment. On my recent trip, I always tipped 20-30%. People work hard and many service staff struggle to make ends meet.

    Father’s Day is hard for me. My father and I were never close and I find that I carry a resentment about that. I would love to turn this over to my Higher Power. I intend to turn this over to my Higher Power. I intend to ask my Higher Power to unburden me of my own ego, pick up the phone, and tell my father, “Happy Father’s Day, Daddy. I love you.”
