I think I get what you mean FF but bear in mind, if it's truly a power greater than you, you won't, by definition, be able to control it.

There are handful of references in the BB this portion of step 2 (there's a lot more but I'm just taking the parts that reference your post and Veritas'. The second is probably my favorite as it was the most demanding / tough for me early on (laying aside prejudices was and is tough......but it's highly rewarding).

p12
It was only a matter of being willing to believe in a
Power greater than myself. Nothing more was required
of me to make my beginning.


p46
We found that as soon as we were able to
lay aside prejudice and express even a willingness to
believe in a Power greater than ourselves, we commenced
to get results, even though it was impossible
for any of us to fully define or comprehend that
Power, which is God.

p47
We needed to ask ourselves but one short question.
“Do I now believe, or am I even willing to believe,
that there is a Power greater than myself?’’ As soon
as a man can say that he does believe, or is willing to
believe, we emphatically assure him that he is on his
way.

So any power greater than us is a start....it gets me on the way...it's a beginning - and a heck-of-a-lot better than thinking I AM the highest power...lol

A little further on though, they're a lot more definite about what they're talking about
p55
We finally saw that faith in some kind of God was
a part of our make-up, just as much as the feeling we
have for a friend. Sometimes we had to search fearlessly,
but He was there. He was as much a fact as
we were. We found the Great Reality deep down
within us. In the last analysis it is only there that He
may be found. It was so with us.

I think most of us probably used the tables, a therapist, a sponsor, the fellowship, our homegroup, the steps, and so on as our first, second or more Higher Power. Keep working the steps with a humble and searching heart and I think you'll like what you find.
