In this episode of 'That's NOT in the Book!', Agent X sits down with The Voyager, an AA historian and movie producer, to discuss his latest film, 'Bill W. Conscious Contact'. The Voyager, known for his deep knowledge of AA history, shares how his passion for history led him to create a movie exploring the spiritual journey of Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.
The Voyager's love for history started as a child and only deepened when he joined AA in 1979. He recounts the unique atmosphere of AA at that time, a place where desperation brought people together rather than referrals. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as The Voyager describes the making of his movie, a project born out of years of historical research and personal experiences.
He talks about his involvement with Moral Rearmament and the Oxford Group, shedding light on the often misunderstood origins of AA. With humour and candour, The Voyager explains how he stumbled upon transcendental meditation journals and discovered Bill Wilson's personal spiritual practices. Throughout the episode, Agent X and The Voyager explore the importance of creativity and spiritual connection in recovery.
The Voyager encourages listeners to tap into their inner spark and embrace the 11th step's meditation practice as a means to enhance their lives. With anecdotes about AA history and personal reflections, this episode is a treasure trove for anyone interested in the deeper layers of Alcoholics Anonymous. If you're curious about the spiritual side of recovery or eager to learn more about Bill Wilson's life beyond AA, this episode offers a unique perspective that's both informative and engaging.
