I agree totally also. As I understand your statement you're talking about an external higher power. But can we not use the word HP to acknowledge that higher self
inside all of us that we
logically (or not) locate inside of ourselves and access in order to change ourselves into the person we want to be?
Does it then become non secular? Is it a problem of semantics?. Maybe I will change my use of HP to HS.. meaning higher self. I guess I just need to name the internal source that I have learned/accessed. AA doesn't have a corner on the market of the use of "higher power" or does it?
How about HIP? Meaning Higher Internal Power? Does have a nice ring to it doesn't it?
