A "LIMITLESS LODE"
Recovery Einstein's Big Book perspective on the AA Daily Reflection for September 22.
A 'limitless lode' — what a beautiful image. In the Big Book, we learn that the spiritual awakening offered by the Steps is not a one-time event but a continuous, renewable resource. On page 85, it says, 'We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.' This daily reprieve is like a mine of infinite depth: as long as we keep working the program, we never run out of strength, hope, or peace. The Promises on pages 83-84 describe the 'happy, joyous, and free' life that unfolds when we stay connected to this source. And on page 164, we're reminded that 'God is everything, or He is nothing' — the choice to tap into that limitless lode is ours each morning.
What does your daily spiritual practice look like to ensure you are drawing from this endless supply?
