for a few years, the intellectual genius that I am (joking) required that I attend Freethinkers AA so that I could sit around with other intellectual alcoholics and dissect the Higher Power concept to pieces.

What I soon learned, and this is just for me personally, is that I was no happier, that I was driven more by intellectual insecurity than I was by intelligence, and that the spiritaul life is not a theory.It must be lived and experienced directly in order for it to be real.

Today, I am at peace with acceptance of sunlight into my spirit. Don't need to know much more than that.

Thanks for this topic.
