The Basic Text illuminates profound personal growth. Humility fosters genuine internal freedom. Fear vanishes completely among loved ones. Gail Sheehy declared that daily awakenings prevent aging. Conscious seekers keep growing forever.

EL DULCE ALIENTO DE LA ETERNA JUVENTUD ANIMANDO LA CONCIENCIA – PASO 7

DESPERTANDO NUESTRA CONCIENCIA –

“A medida que nos encontramos acercándonos más el uno al otro, ocurre el despertar de la humildad. La humildad es un subproducto que nos permite crecer y desarrollarnos en un ambiente de libertad y elimina el miedo a ser conocidos por empleadores, familias o amigos como adictos.” (El Texto Básico, p. 60)

¿ESTÁS LISTO? –

“Tenemos derecho a esperar más de la vida que la mera supervivencia. Estamos aquí porque estamos listos para sanar. Estamos listos para mirarnos a nosotros mismos y a nuestras vidas con nuevos ojos. Estamos listos para tomar conciencia.” (How Al Anon Works, p. 26)

GAIL SHEEHY –

“Si cada día es un despertar, nunca envejecerás. Simplemente seguirás creciendo.”

— Gail Sheehy (1937 – 2020), autora estadounidense y biógrafa de Hillary Clinton

Análisis

El Texto Básico ilumina un profundo crecimiento personal. La humildad fomenta una genuina libertad interior. El miedo desaparece por completo entre los seres queridos. Gail Sheehy declaró que los despertares diarios evitan el envejecimiento. Los buscadores conscientes siguen creciendo para siempre.

How Al Anon Works exige una sanación más profunda. Las perspectivas frescas iluminan nuestro verdadero camino. Mientras tanto, un Poder Superior restaura el espíritu vital. La sabiduría de Wellbriety ancla esta transformación diaria. “Cada amanecer trae la oportunidad de renovar nuestro espíritu” (White Bison, 2002, p. 145). La gracia disuelve nuestras resistencias más profundas. Abrazamos una vibrante renovación espiritual.

    To keep my Spiritual Awakening fresh and renewed I read scripture not as a chore or a checklist, but as a direct conversation with God… re-energizing my passion for my higher power…

    How can serving others help you discover a deeper meaning and purpose in your own life?~

    Serving others helps remind me my life isn’t just about me, its about being in kindness, care, compassion and service to others where I feel community, I feel connected, and I feel peace without anxiety . We not meant to do this alone, and we need each other to hold space for one another and show care, love and understanding ~

    When I’ve been at my lowest lows I’ve felt like the only thing I had to offer was service to others, and even the smallest acts of uplifting those around me was a huge boost to my mood and mentality. Especially in early sobriety, mind still broken from going out, when I was of help to someone it didn’t matter whether I was psychotic or not, life just felt better.

    Helping others is a self-affirming act. Esteemable acts build self and all of that. As a child I didn’t hesitate to help others- I had no fear of losing anything of my own while helping others. It’s not wrong to derive pride or pleasure from helping others- this help is, paradoxically, a selfish act. Bragging might not endear anyone, though.

    Waking up. That’s my first youthful awakening. Additionally the actions of curious learning. This is an import aspect of my life. Throughout my life there have been many great people that displayed for me an attitude of life long learning. Starting with my parents that both sought out knowledge throughout their life. The pride that my dad had when he was able to purchase for our family the Encyclopedia Britannica so that we could learn, even at home. Learning keeps me young and open minded to the ideals of constant evaluation and growth.

    Thank you for sharing recovery with me. Grateful.

    If I help a stranger out hopefully it will create a ripple effect to inspire others to do the same. Anytime you help somebody else out you’re getting out of your own self and that creates a road to spiritual growth

    I discover a deeper purpose in my life by bein’ a part of somethin’ great when I participate in service work. I remember facilitatin’ meetings online, and what a great feelin’ it gave me to give back what has been given to me in wisdoms, especially over the years. I’ve learned so much hope from others also, so why not be of service to build and keep us all mentally strong.

    Being therefor someone… when they need a place to stay somethng to eat or a shoulder to cry on.
    Thats how i can keep my own spiritual life fresh and new. Yes faith without something to back it up is truly dead.

      Buddha also teaches us to be compassionate, as well, as Jesus, and givein’, so it’s great you’re like that.

    p.s. A high five to the Martin Luther King memorial dedication going on the Washington today, sunday. It might seem off topic from the program but not really – if ever anyone was “of service” – hello – Martin Luther King..words can’t even say..
