The problem is in the mind. That's a physical deal, primarily. But the madness is that I keep going back to it, is that I talk myself back into it. And a guy sat me down 50 years ago and said, that's what unmanageability is all about.
Ever wondered how the teachings of Eckhart Tolle can intertwine with the 12-Step recovery process? In this episode, Father Bill W. invites Dr. Bruce P., a clinical psychologist from Los Angeles, to explore this intriguing blend. They dive into the concept that our biggest challenge lies in our minds, as suggested by the Big Book of AA, and how compulsive thinking traps us in a cycle of fear and separation from our true selves and others.
Through their engaging discussion, you'll learn about the importance of stillness, self-observation, and finding those precious moments of thoughtless awareness that can bring a sense of inner peace. The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like facing inner pain and vulnerability but offers a hopeful message that escape from these mental traps is possible. With personal anecdotes and reflections, Father Bill and Dr.
Bruce shed light on how relationships can serve as a spiritual practice and how the 'power of now'—a core idea from Tolle's teachings—can be harnessed to connect with the divine presence within us all. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their spiritual practice within the framework of addiction recovery, offering practical insights and a comforting sense of shared experience.
