In short, basically we're cleaning up our act. And as we do that, then the ego self-axis, that connecting link, is able to function properly and we start living a new way of life, a life of watching ourselves for ego inflations because they creep back in, of bringing our problems to god for guidance and direction in step and in carrying the message to the other lost souls from hell in step.
What if recovery from addiction isn't just about abstaining but about a profound psychological shift? In this episode, Father Bill W. dives into the intriguing work of Jungian therapist David Schoen, exploring the concept that recovery is a journey through hell and back. Drawing from Schoen's book 'The War of the Gods in Addiction', Father Bill sheds light on how the 12-Step program aligns with Jungian principles, offering a unique perspective on why these steps work so effectively.
Father Bill shares his own experiences with addiction and recovery, providing a candid look at the transformative power of spiritual practice. He emphasizes the need for a deep connection between the ego and the self, which he believes is crucial for lasting change. Through personal anecdotes and insights from AA pioneers, he explains how practices like Two Way Prayer can facilitate this connection and help individuals clean up their act.
