A person’s spirituality, then, is built on three internal processes: the way we perceive the world about us, how we feel about that world, and the choices we make—conscious and unconscious—in response to our perceptions and our sensations.
Imagine finding a path to spirituality without the trappings of religion. That's what Ward Ewing brings to the table in this episode of Rebellion Dogs Radio. Ward, a non-alcoholic trustee emeritus of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), has been a friend to the organization since 1975. He delves into his book, 'Twelve Steps to Religionless Spirituality', and discusses how spirituality can thrive without a traditional religious framework.
He breaks down spirituality into three core elements: how we perceive the world, how we feel about it, and the choices we make in response to those perceptions and feelings. These elements, he argues, are deeply intertwined and mutually reinforcing. Ewing's unique perspective offers a fresh look at the often-debated topic of spirituality in AA, especially for atheist and agnostic members.
His experiences as a trustee provide valuable insights into the role of non-alcoholics in AA, emphasizing their contributions in areas like communication, medicine, and legal advice. The conversation also touches on the importance of honesty and embracing imperfections within AA, and how the internet is reshaping the landscape of recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the evolving dynamics of spirituality and recovery, offering a nuanced view that goes beyond conventional religious boundaries.
