Here are the steps we took, which are suggested as a Program of Recovery
| This is a suggested program, not a program of suggestions. We can adopt this way of life if we want or reject it if we feel we know a better way. Adopting some parts of this program and ignoring or evading other parts is unlikely to allow us to experience an entire psychic change. This is not a mere code of morals or a better philosophy of life. This is a program of action which if practiced in whole will bring about a vital spiritual awakening that will make our fundamental natures in a way that is indeed miraculous.
Your thoughts, comments?
