Back to step 3 at least. Remember? Self centredness is the root of our troubles. We need to get rid of this selfishness, or it will kill us. We have been like an actor trying to be the director, we have been producing confusion rather than harmony. We have decided to quit playing God. It doesn't work. We are appointing a new manger. A new employer. Being all powerful He will provide what we need (willingness and courage?) And we made a deal that is he would free us from self, take away our difficulties, we would be an example of his power, we would bear witness through our actions and our sharing. We need to think well before this step, making sure we are ready. We need to be convinced of these things. Then we take the step.

As I have learned, there are a number of things we need to be convinced about, which form the basis of our step 3 decision.
