Absolutely!! Thanx for that... I read it a few times.
The journey is as important as the destination.
It's a pleasure discussing these important ideas and concepts here with all of you. Spiritual experiences that I have had in the past, were perhaps... happy accidents, signal grace, planetary alignment, IDK... I still hold on to those experiences and will not invalidate them....
But with the 12 steps and the directions to God, these experiences are the result of meaningful work, meditation and prayer. They become more reliable, and perhaps as such can be trusted...
As usual, Patrick, there's not whole lot I can add to your excellent post.
