Thought for the Day

The Big Book is not correct because it’s the Big Book, It is either correct or incorrect because it’s our experience. If I read this statement correctly, resentment is actually not the issue. The issue is a ‘common manifestation of self’.

This concept changes everything. For years I thought that 12 steps and a Power greater than self was a way to “master” resentments and be free of them. Unfortunately, I was demanding to be free as self not humbly asking to be free from self. 

“Presupposing the existence of a non-existent thing and then wanting to get salvation for that imaginary ‘I’” – Ramana Maharshi

The goal, if there is such a thing as a goal, is to be free from self. This is a giant leap that pays huge rewards if investigated.
