"Think only about what is holy. Empty your mind."
Archie Fire Lame
Deer Lakota There is a direct
linkage among self-examination, meditation, and prayer. Taken separately,
these practices can bring much relief and benefit. But when they are
logically related and interwoven, the result is an unshakable foundation
for life. Now and then we may be granted a glimpse of that ultimate
reality which is God's kingdom. And we will be comforted and assured that
our own destiny in that realm will be secure for so long as we try,
however falteringly, to find and do the will of our own
creator... The actual
experience of meditation and prayer across the centuries is, of course,
immense. The world's libraries and places of worship are a treasure trove
for all seekers. It is hoped that every A.A. who has a religious
connection which emphasizes meditation will return to the practice of that
devotion as never before. Twelve Steps &
