Not everyone has a white light 'come to Jesus' kind of spiritual Experience. Some have an educational type of experience that comes to them slowly over time.
Have you ever felt puzzled by the idea of a 'spiritual experience' in Alcoholics Anonymous? In this episode of 'Big Book with Karen', Karen sheds light on this often-misunderstood concept. She reads from pages 567-568 of the Big Book, breaking down how spiritual experiences aren't always dramatic 'come to Jesus' moments. Instead, many people find their spiritual awakening is more of a gradual, educational journey that unfolds over time.
Karen dives into the history of the Big Book, explaining how the first edition featured Bill's story and the dramatic spiritual experiences he described. However, as more people shared their recovery stories, it became clear that not everyone had these intense moments of revelation. This led to the inclusion of an appendix in the second edition, which discusses the 'educational variety' of spiritual experiences.
Karen emphasizes the importance of daily reflection and how reviewing your day can keep you on track in your recovery journey. She also touches on the power of live broadcasts and community feedback, encouraging listeners to share their own stories. If you're curious about the different ways spiritual experiences can manifest in recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
