Father Bill W. on Authentic Spiritual Guidance: Is It God or Ego?
“Guidance is as freely available as the air we breathe.”
Ever wondered if the thoughts you jot down during prayer are truly divine or just your ego talking? In this engaging episode, Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest with a long history in addiction recovery, takes listeners on a journey through the Oxford Group's Two Way Prayer practice. Drawing from the Original Pamphlet, he offers practical advice on how to discern whether your spiritual guidance is genuine.
The pamphlet suggests that if your writing isn’t honest, pure, unselfish, or loving, it’s probably not coming from God. Father Bill dives deep into these criteria, emphasizing the importance of morning meditation and the benefits of sharing your writings with others to keep your ego in check. He also touches on the power of forgiveness and how it can help you start fresh.
Whether you’re part of a 12-Step fellowship or just curious about spiritual practices, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to deepen your connection to the 'Great Reality' within.
