TENTANG EPISODE INI
Welcome to another zoom meeting and podcast of ‘Here’s Tom with the Weather’...where we investigate the plethora of Higher powers that populate the vast universe of Recovery - particularly where the founders of AA encourage us to find some kind of higher power – as long as it’s not us....for example in 3rd Step of the Alcoholics Anonymous 12 STEP program where it states
‘MADE A DECISION TO TURN OUR WILL AND OUR LIVES OVER TO THE CARE OF GOD, AS WE UNDERSTOOD HIM’ and also to the 11th Step where it states: ‘sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood him, praying only knowledge of his will for us and the power to carry that out’
We speak to people with all manner of higher powers - from those who are atheists, Sufis, agnostics, Christians, Buddhists, Followers of Islam, Paganists, AND...those who subscribe to NON-DUALITY...we leave no stone unturned... it's our aim to promote understanding and open-mindedness so that alcoholics and addicts can find a higher power of their own to stay sober and carry the message. Please remember that this is not an AA meeting... it's just some people’s version of the truth – whatever that may be. Sometimes we talk to seekers, to gurus, and to people not necessarily in recovery ... and today it's my honor to introduce you to someone who certainly helped to break down the walls around this alcoholics heart....and that is our guest Kurt Zimmerman.
Kurt Zimmerman has been involved in the recovery community for over thirty years, working with others in the process of spiritual transformation. He has led workshops, retreats, and meditation groups involving seekers from both in and out of the field of addiction. Steeped in the wisdom traditions, Kurt has a unique ability to access insights into transcending the dysfunction of the human condition. He meets privately with individuals, and facilitates larger gatherings at Two Trees Insight Guidance, in Redondo Beach, California.
