Cliff (staff member) once stated that it (our higher power) could be that 'lightbulb' over there. I clearly recall this because Robert (another staff member) later angrily disagreed with that statement. A rare thing in itself, since staff never seemed to disagree on anything of significance.
In fairness, I think cliff's point was that you didn't have to conform to some specific idea of god or diety. That you could believe in allah or yahweh or brahma, etc. The seed wasn't trying to impose a particular religion on members. The seed itself became a sort of defacto religion for many however.
GregFL:
The standard line was "God to me is the group", even tho they repeated the AA version, I don't remember anyone saying it was anything other than the group.
Stripe:
And I can see your point, too. That you don't want to substitute one kind fo magical thinking for another. Skepticism is very healthly - there's just no certain answers to any of these quesions, are there?
Ft. Lauderdale:
Sounds like someone in St. Pete was pretty mean. I never said those things nor did I hear people tell others that.
Ft. Lauderdale:
The light bulb thing- people finally stopped saying that. That always confused me. :idea:
I remember the first time I heard it all I co0uld think of was "son of sam".
