Sane people don't go on crusades. They just go aboutthe business of living. Sane people don't have a yen tocontrol your mind. They've learned they don't want tocontrol anything, not even their own minds. They'velearned to give up the entire idea of control and to wait inthat naked and vulnerable state for a power greater thanthemselves that will give them something much betterthan they could ever have created on their own, something they most likely have never even experienced, or felt onlyin small moments of bliss.

The precious gift of awareness is waiting for thosewho come to believe. There is no price to pay, no pledgeof allegiance, no vows, no dues or initiation fees, nocontracts to sign. All that is required is belief, and some how that comes. Sometimes it seems to come of its ownaccord. The power we seek does not always manifest itself in a shaft of light, although that happens. I have heard toomany sane, normal, ordinary people tell about that experience to doubt it. The power manifests itself when we praynot for what we want but merely for the power to carryout God's will for us, having the faith of a mustard seed.
Belief is a matter of "reliance, not defiance." It doesnot tell God what to do and then get angry when it doesn't happen. That you have to give up your list of demandswhat your own will thinks you wantmay seem the most bitter pill of all to swallow, but I can assure you God's willfor you is like a surprise gift containing something youdidn't even know you wanted but badly needed and never thought to ask for, and never dreamed could be yours. The room for surprise once you step out of God's way is one ofthe most intriguing aspects of this program. The powerthat comes when you ask for knowledge of God's will isanother. Following it is so easy, like having the wind atyour back instead of fighting it every inch of the way.There is little more I can say until you experience for yourself that there is a healing power greater than your own, except my constant reassurance that help is on theway, if you will just keep going in the direction you're in.The disease of addiction is a detour from the person wewere meant to be. Recovery is a discovery process of whothat wonderful person really is through a personal revela tion of God's will for you.
