We are all connected through creation. This is Divine Oneness!
The Law of Divine Oneness means that every atom is connected through the Law of Vibration. Drop a stone into a calm lake and watch the ripples expand from the center, affecting everything that they touch.
We have talked about the We-ness or Divine Oneness of the AA program. The AA program is not a solo project. We are all in this together. The Big Book and the 12 Steps all talk of WE not I. I could not get sober by myself. I was at my absolute bottom — physically, morally, emotionally bankrupt.
The 2nd paragraph of How it Works says “If you want what we have and are willing to go to ANY LENGTHS to get it,” COD, come on down. I had tried everything and seemed to be falling deeper into the depths of despair and, maybe worse, not even knowing what was wrong. Only that something was horribly amiss. I was willing to go to any lengths and dove into the program head first.
It didn’t take long working the program with others that I came quickly to believe and trust and realize that the paraphrase of the first 3 Steps was absolutely true . 1 I can’t. 2 He can. 3 I think I’ll let him. I began to feel the presence of a new power coming through from the others who were working their own programs. And even some who were outside of the program. This is because The Law of Divine Oneness encompasses all.
The Law of Divine Oneness says that everything in our Universe is interconnected. Every thought, action, choice, desire that I have will have an effect on all in the Universe and the people in my life. Sometimes quickly and other times we may not even see the results. We have talked about every thought being a prayer. This is where it comes from. Be careful what you think because it will have an effect on someone else.
Just know that your sobriety is very important to not only you but to all around you. The Law of Divine Oneness explains why we are all in this together, not only during the meetings, but also between the meetings. This may be where it is most important between the meetings. It is there where we do not have the constant reminders from others. But we still should continue working our program to the best of our abilities.
What is the end result of all of this? How does being Happy, Joyous, and Free sound to you? It is ours for the taking if we only continue to be willing to go to any lengths to get it! Thank you, God!
