Soul Work:

Definitions: Look up "revolutionary" and "drastic," reference page 14, second paragraph. 

Reading: Last paragraph page 13 "My friend promised..." to end of second paragraph page 14, "...profound."

Group Question:

First paragraph, page 14: "Simple, but not easy; a price had to be paid. It meant the destruction of self-centeredness."
Give your own definition of self-centeredness, and give an example of what self-centeredness is. See where you are at with it.

Buddy Questions:

Q1: What does it mean that destruction of self-centeredness is a drastic proposal?

Q2: Have you accepted you're in this workshop to destroy self-centeredness, or are you in this workshop to stop drinking, eating, drugging?

Q3: Have you accepted the revolutionary and drastic proposal, the destruction of self-centeredness?

Q4: When you accepted it, was the effect electric?

Q5: Are you today living in peace and serenity? If not, have you had it before? If you are, what do you have to do on a daily basis to keep it?

Q6: Page 14, paragraph 2. "There was utter confidence." What do you think "utter confidence" means in sobriety?

Q7: Take the analogy of being a pebble on the beach. Do you like it? Is it foolish? Take what I say and filter it. Do you want to be a pebble, or something else?

Q8: Can you say it with Bill, that "His impact on me was sudden and profound?"

Q9: "God comes to most men gradually..." Is this happening to you? Q10: Do you want a sudden and profound experience with God?
