show us that we are all connected.
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a “We” program. Physical laws, such as gravity, heat, etc, are known to us all as real and true. Spiritual Laws are also as real and serious as physical laws.
The spiritual Law of Divine Oneness is the foundational law according to which absolutely everything in our universe is interconnected.
In other words, every choice, word, desire, and belief we have will also have an impact on the world and on the people in our lives. Sometimes, this impact will be immediate and obvious.
At other times, it may take a while to manifest, or we may never even discover that it has occurred.
For example, the next time you go through a drive-through lane of a restaurant or a coffee shop, give the clerk a couple of bucks and tell them to buy the next person a coffee or a pop.
The next person will not know that it was you that did it but will feel the goodwill and carry it with them. They may even be moved to try the same thing. And although they do not know that you were involved, you will.
Try to think of yourself as part of everything around you and live in accordance with this law. We are all one, and awareness of this makes us more powerful as well as more empathetic.
Please remember that AA also is a “We program.” This is one way to actually use the Spiritual concepts in our AA program and also our daily lives, not just during a meeting.
I hope and pray that we all get some good from these meetings but I also pray that the good is carried out into the world, or at least as much of the world as we can get into during these on-and-off social distancing times.
Thank you, God!
