When the connection is broken, the result is emptiness, despair, meaninglessness and, in extreme cases, psychosis or suicide.
Feeling lost and desperate can sometimes be the very catalyst for profound change. In this episode, Father Bill W. dives into the intricate dance between psychological and spiritual forces that often accompany the 'gift of desperation'. Drawing on his own experiences and deep knowledge of addiction recovery, he discusses how hitting rock bottom is frequently the first step on the path to recovery.
Father Bill likens this journey to a 'time in the wilderness' or the 'dark night of the soul', where pain becomes a necessary precursor to growth. He unpacks the concept of morning meditation and its pivotal role in maintaining sobriety, while also warning about the dangers of ego self-inflation. Through thoughtful discussion, he highlights the three calamities that one must navigate and the importance of recognizing our deepest hungers.
This episode also revisits the lost 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer, a transformative experience that connects individuals with a greater reality within themselves. Whether you're familiar with the 12-Step process or just starting your journey, Father Bill's compassionate insights offer hope and practical guidance. Tune in for a heartfelt exploration of how desperation can lead to a deeper spiritual connection and lasting recovery.
