TAPPING CREATION

The Power within is nothing less than the Power of Creation, God, “The Indwelling Power, the inner Light.” But how to contact that Power? The 12 step process for living not only provides clear-cut directions on how to contact that Power but how to establish and maintain a conscious contact with the “inner Light.” It begins when we can say, “Do I now believe, or am I even willing to believe, that there is a Power greater than myself?” Upon this simple foundation, a wonderful road map for living begins to unfold. On page 45 of Alcoholics Anonymous, we find the following statements: “We had to find a power by which we could live and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves.” “But where and how were we to find this Power?” “Well that’s exactly what this book is about. Its main object is to enable you to find a Power greater than yourself that will solve (all) your problem(s).” To be clear, though there are many ways to achieve enlightenment, this path is well trod, its directions straightforward (simple but not easy) and results readily apparent if we are willing to follow directions. Though this path was first delineated in the book Alcoholics Anonymous, the process will work for anyone, regardless of present circumstances, for “Alcohol is but a symptom of a deeper underlying problem, the bottle but a symbol” for “Lack of power, that was our dilemma” a universal truth.
