Amazing stuff on Practising the principles in our Traditions


It is important to us that we can freely express ourselves in our group, but this is only possible when we have confidence in that what we express would not be spoken or discussed about with others after the meeting. Therefore, we don't express or try to interpret after the meeting about what was shared in the meeting and by whom, including what we ourselves might have expressed too, to those who did not participate in that meeting. Sometimes, we might feel that we need to pass on something amazing that we heard at the meeting, and we can do this by not putting a name on the person who expressed that pearl of wisdom that we want to pass on.

We express our opinion about the principles both inside and outside the group, but we don't try to overwhelm or overpower others with our understanding. We allow others to take the principles to heart at a pace that they want as we know that the program will only work for those who want to take it to heart. We admit that it is our personal point of view we express when we speak about the principles, and at the same time, we are aware that others do the same too. In this way, we don't take offense when someone expresses the principles in a way we cannot relate to.

We listen to the message instead of our personal opinion of the messenger, and in this way, we maintain the anonymity by placing the principles before the persons involved.

Affirmations for Practising Traditions

Together we can accomplish what we cannot accomplish alone.

I don't serve to elevate myself but to give life-force to those principles I wish to further.

Tolerance furthers understanding.

To meet and to separate and to meet again is the life condition for all.

Mutual appreciation pleases the heart.

I liberate myself from that which doesn't serve my purposes.

A place for everything and everything in its place.

Live and let live.

I serve with pleasure or not at all.

I speak for myself about myself.

My truth is not the whole truth.

I take to heart what I can use and leave the rest.
