MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date. Since our focus is principled and always happening now - they will each always reflect the moving nature of current events.

“Perhaps the real problem was our almost total inability to point imagination toward the right objectives."
Bill Wilson points out that imagining, what is impossible as possible, and what is wrong as right, is a wrong objective. What is possible can be done while what is impossible can never happen. One is easy and the other as complicated as we try to make it work. Bill said the program is simple while not always easy. He knew how complicated things are when we think of them not as they are but only as we think they are.
Wrong always fails while right once recognized takes little thought since it works every time it is applied. Principles are absolute and not optional. Applying them is optional which means when things don’t work we’ve decided to think of things in unworkable, unprincipled ways. Learning undoes ideas that don't work by not repeating them, or paying sufficient attention to notice their disturbance sooner than later. Fighting for ideas that are wrong as right is to create impossibility - in thought - not Life.
Our discussion is a chance to notice that when we discuss openly what we think about privately it becomes easier to see our greater shared knowing awareness. Seeming to be buried alive in thoughts is not natural, healthy, or normal. Temporary relief is not a solution since false ideas have no track as it is only our one-track-obsessive focus that drive our inner conflict amd emotional turmoil. What is cunning, baffling, and seemingly powerful is imagining what is wrong will one day be right. No amount of belief, faith, confidence, hope, trust, or undivided obsessive attention can make this happen.
While an absolute source does not require or ask for faith, trust, hope, or belief to be as It Is when we align even the slightest faith and trust in what is actually faithful and trustworthy our alignment is confirmed with the wholeness of our ever-present presence - where We Are as We Are now.

We Are as We Are.
Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune that are accurately called disorders. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse Nature’s Law and Order and our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and compound and degrade health.
Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion.
Principles affirm Our Indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality which is impossible to accomplish though we are free to try.
Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible gibberish of ignorance - not reality.
