There are two selves and, and very much I think, in this fifth step process you can feel the shift, the internal shift, from one center of consciousness wrapped around the ego, filled with guilt and shame and remorse, and all that, to the discovery of a new self.
Ever feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? In this thought-provoking episode, Father Bill W. and Paul S. dive deep into the transformative 4th and 5th Steps of recovery. Titled 'Steps 4 & 5: Re-Joining the Human Race', this conversation is all about shedding layers of pain and discovering the soul that's been there all along, just waiting to be set free.
Father Bill and Paul explore the concept of the 'sick soul', diving into its perceived 'rottenness' to uncover a core that's pure and ready for healing. They touch on the heightened sensitivity many alcoholics have towards mental pain, and how fear and anger can morph into morbid obsessions. Drawing from William James' work, they weave in insights from various spiritual traditions like Buddhism, Hinduism, Catholicism, and Protestantism.
This isn't just about theory; it's about practical steps to peel away the old, dirty bandages and let the true self emerge. The fifth step is highlighted as a pivotal moment of honesty and connection with another human being, leading to a rebirth and a new life. They also delve into the wisdom of mystics and the beauty of spiritual messages that resonate deeply with those on the path to recovery.
Whether you're in the midst of your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of historical wisdom and heartfelt guidance. It's a reminder that through honesty and connection, we can all find our way back to the human race.
