so, in this episode I’ll continue to speak about step one and continue to talk about the gift of Enlightenment. There really isn’t too much in the literature that tells us exactly how we go about doing the first two steps. After the steps are listed, there is a brief section that describes our dilemma and struggle to even get started with the steps. The literature says, “What an order, I can’t go through with it”. Any of us who, up to that point in our lives, remember the sheer helplessness, pain, and frustration of not being able to be in control, know what I’m talking about. “We stood at the turning point”. However, there is a glimmer, a sort of overview of what our lives have come to, in which we have an inkling that there may be a way out. It is at this point that we are ready to receive the gift of Enlightenment. This gift, provided through the grace of God, helps us realize that we are truly powerless, and cannot manage our own lives. What a wonderful, appropriate gift.
