Personality Change, p. 1
"It has often been said of A.A. that we are interested only in alcoholism.
That is not true. We have to get over drinking in order to stay alive.
But anyone who knows the alcoholic personality by firsthand contact knows that no true alky ever stops drinking permanently without undergoing a profound personality change."
<< << << >> >> >>
We thought "conditions" drove us to drink, and when we tried to
correct these conditions and found that we couldn’t do so to our entire satisfaction, our drinking went out of hand and we became alcoholics. It never occurred to us that we needed to change ourselves to meet conditions, whatever they were.

1.Manifestations - On the Other Side of Your Door
If you could see an aerial view of your life. An aerial view where we are seeing you electrically. It’s like you are standing here and over there is a doorway. And on the other side of the door is lined up all of these things that you’ve been wanting.
They’re just leaning on the door, just waiting for you to open it. They’ve been there from the first moment you asked for them: Your lovers; your perfect mates; your perfect bodies; your perfect bodily conditions; all of the money that you could ever imagine…all things that you’ve ever wanted. Things little and big. Things that you would call extraordinary and significant. And things that you would call not very significant. Everything that you have ever identified that you wanted, is lined up right outside that door.
And in the moment that you open the door, all things wanted flow to you. And then, we will hold a seminar on how to deal with the manifestations, with all this stuff that is flowing in.
One of the most significant things that we are wanting you to realize is, that you are not here about the manifestations. You are here about the FEELING of Energy flowing through you.
You are here to give birth to the desire. It is the DESIRE that is alive within you, that is everything. It is the desire that is alive within you, that we are all about. But the manifestations are fun too, aren’t they?
