All spiritual awakenings
have some things in common,” says our Basic Text, but we would be hard-pressed
to name something comparable to the sheer variety of our members’ personal
spiritual experiences.
These experiences aren’t
something we often have the good fortune to hear about in any detail.
Many of our members believe that it’s inappropriate to talk about specific
spiritual or religious beliefs in meetings. Maybe it is; maybe it
isn’t—we’ll leave that one to group autonomy. But we no longer have
to remain in the dark about some of the spiritual paths followed by our
members.
This issue of the NA Way
is devoted to bringing those experiences into the light of day. The
following pages present as broad a scope of experiences as we could gather.
Even though it’s only a small fraction of the world of beliefs held by
our members, it does show that there’s ample room for any and all spiritual
beliefs in the NA program.
For
me, a working definition of spirituality is to call for a taxi and then
wait for the taxi I called instead of taking one that might cruise by in
the meantime.
