Joy is connection. Joy is joining. Joy is being a part of something bigger than self, selfishness, self-centeredness. That, we think, is the root of our problem, and we have to become part of something bigger.
Ever felt like spirituality is a tough nut to crack? Father Bill W. is here to make it simpler and more joyful. In this episode, he dives into the book 'Spiritual Evolution' by Dr. George E. Vaillant, a Harvard psychiatrist and former non-alcoholic Trustee for Alcoholics Anonymous. Dr. Vaillant's book breaks down spirituality into positive emotions like love, hope, faith, joy, forgiveness, and compassion.
He argues that our brains are wired for these feelings and that through the 12-Step journey, we can evolve to embrace them in our lives. Father Bill focuses on the quality of joy in this episode, a vital emotion for anyone in recovery. If you're looking to spark joy in your soul, he even suggests watching the 5-minute YouTube video 'Ode to Joy'.
Tune in to discover how these positive emotions can transform your spiritual life and aid your recovery journey.
