June 17 2012 | AA 12 Steps In Action | Step 6 Spiritual Willingness Alcoholics Anonymous [Full daily blog link: http://donoddylondon.blogspot.com/] Today's AA daily reflection: "deep down within us... The core of being human..." What is at the very core of us? Love in its most profound state and pure based on truth and the wisdom given through our instincts which are natural, and then how we learn with each day that turns...

Indeed, when we do pray and meditate and it does not matter to what we may pray and meditate given there are seven billion experiences one way or another each day, it is to what end in the deep of us which matters. Truth, love and wisdom growing each day in each of us. How deep, how profound is contingent on our ability to grow with conscience. And still, nature and our circumstances will bend us and sometimes break our hearts over and over again...

When we cannot cope with reality and the core and deep within is hurt by loss, denial will keep us numbed and in shock for a while. Then we learn through time how to mend, how to come back to reality and deal with whatever the circumstances may be. This is what we do if we can keep on learning how to deal with emotional storms and tempests which come out of nowhere in any given day. And the key most often is asking for help from anyone anywhere in those moments today...

The core of being human, to love, to be loved back and useful. Always a good starting place in my reflections. Do no harm, realise if I am with people who are hurt, they are vulnerable and capable of hurting other people. When people are in denial of the truth of a situation, I can help is asked but most likely I will be cut off if I offer them an outlook inconsistent with their beliefs, their feelings, their thinking and consequently their actions day by day. If asked I can share the deep of my experience, strength and hope and only if I am asked. And of course I need be aware when I am in denial, because I will be in denial sometimes, it is essential that I need to keep on listening to the wisdom of the universe and the people with wisdom today...

Step 6. "Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character" At this point, it would be a good idea to look again at our sharing in step five, where we define character and list a number of our defects. Completing step 5, we have compiled a list of the character defects. Step six is concerned with our spiritual willingness to have these defects of character removed, contingent on each day we meditate and pray in good conscience, and or to God as we understand for ourselves. Seven billion humans, seven billion outlooks and defintions about God every day... yours is as good as it gets today...
