Day 18 - Moral Inventory - 8/15/75 (Open Meeting):

"I had a good attitude today. Something funny happened this morning, the rap leaders never called on me. I got kind of frustrated. We were talking about the 1st time we were honest after coming into the Seed. And then we had homes rap. Everybody told me where I was at. I was trying to con everybody. I was trying to impress the chicks, I was being very selfish, I wasn't being myself or being honest & I wasn't fooling anybody. Then I talked to my parents during the meeting.

I LOVE YOU

GOALS: BE HONEST & BE MYSELF

NOT12NOW:
I find these old inventories really interesting, thank you for posting them.
I wonder how common the event in this one is. You got told off and then moved forward in quick succession.  I got my big newcomer come down the same week I was sent home.  I just figured I changed a lot in a few day.

Check out this magazine, The Source. It has current Seed-type jargon from programs today. A return to raps and Moral Inventories!

Yeah, crazy, isn't it? If I'm not mistaken, the Source is a WWASP publication. The lineage goes something like this; Synanon graduated Mel Wasserman who begat CEDU, CEDU begat Cross Creek Manner, which became the founding and flagship WWASP program.

Amazing what kinds of odd quirks get carried along. I could swear I've seen WWASP kids write "intensive purposes". WTF??

I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious theories of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God.

I remember the time I refused to write my moral inventory. Simply as an act of defiance. Well the guys at the house I was at kept me up all night, so I had so sit, in the summer, in the warehouse, on a folding chair, on state road 84 from 10-10 with no sleep.

This guy in the house I was having some personality conflict with over some bullshit I never understood really (I probably reminded him of himself) relished his roatation of keeping me up.

I thought, this does not seem to be working. So I started cranking daily moral inventories that were not worth the paper they were printed on with bad handwriting.

Later when I re-entered recovery, at 30 vs 15 I really embraced the roll of stepwork and self-review, improvement, learning from others, helping others.

Live and learn......
