April 2010 - 12 Step Gazette

Issue # 20 April 2010 Page 15If you go on Facebook you can see a lot of heavy, philosophical postings. Naturally,there’s a lot of random forgettable stuff too. Whenever we see somebodyconsistently posting deep stuff we felt it would be a good idea to mention these peoplein a special feature we’re calling ‘Deep Thinker of The Month’. So, if you’reinterested in being in the running, you might want to make yourself a friend of‘Bruce Huberman’ or ‘Drew Paul’.This months selection, George Burpee, always puts stuff on Facebook that makesyou think.

Forgiveness, which IS Love itself, will heal all fear, and restoremankind to sanity and unity.” - "Were it not for our special relationships, onto whichwe've projected our unconscious guilt, we would never have a chance see what theego trys to keep hidden and, therefore learn to Forgive." - “The ego will become atbest suspicious, at worse vicious, in the face of spiritual growth. It has it's own planfor salvation.” - “Peace, Serenity, Joy, Love, .... are decisions, they can never beanything else. "Happy" is temporary, and depends on outside events.” - “Funnything about humility ...it's not possible to think it, and be it, at the same time.” -“There are no atheists, only people who believe they are.” - Check his wall for more.Recovery House Listings Pages 14, 15, 16To Place an AD or Calendar Listing Contact: 215-317-8774 or 12StepGazette@comcast.net
