The relocation of the center of the personality is a form of suicide and it is best done by the ego. That's the joy, the real joy of recovery that doesn't come by getting a new car and lots of money. It's all good stuff, but it's really what comes from finding the deepest you and the you that you've been separated from all of your life.
Imagine shedding an old skin and emerging anew. That's the essence of Step Seven in the 12-Step program, and Father Bill W. dives deep into this transformative process in his episode titled 'AA Originals Step Seven: Egocide - How to Commit It and Survive'. Father Bill, an Episcopal priest with decades of sobriety under his belt, brings a unique perspective to the often misunderstood concept of egocide, or the death of the ego.
This isn't just about losing oneself; it's about finding a truer, more authentic self by overcoming character defects and embracing humility. Father Bill talks about the 'Four Absolutes'—honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love—and how they play a pivotal role in this journey. He also introduces the 'Five C's': confidence, confession, conviction, conversion, and continuance, which serve as stepping stones in the surrender process.
The episode is not just a lecture but a heartfelt conversation that encourages listeners to relocate their sense of self from the ego to a higher power. Through personal anecdotes and spiritual insights, Father Bill underscores the ongoing nature of this spiritual journey and the joy that comes from reconnecting with one's deepest self.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for years, this episode offers valuable wisdom on making humility a cornerstone of your spiritual practice.
