• There  is  a  solution. • We   have   found   much   of   heaven   and   we   have   been   rocketed   into   a   fourth dimension  of  existence  of  which  we  had  not  even  dreamed. • The  great  fact  is  just  this,  and  nothing  less:  That  we  have  had  deep  and  effective

spiritual  experiences  which  have  revolutionized  our  whole  attitude  toward  life, toward  our  fellows  and  toward  God’s  universe. • The  central  fact  of  our  lives  today  is  the  absolute  certainty  that  our  Creator  has entered  into  our  hearts  and  lives  in  a  way  which  is  indeed  miraculous. • He  has  commenced  to  accomplish  those  things  for  us  which  we  could  never  do by  ourselves. Big  Book  page  #28:

• A  new  life  has  been  given  us  or,  if  you  prefer,  “a  design  for  living”  that  really works. Big  Book  page  #46:

• We  found  that  God  does  not  make  too  hard  terms  with  those  who  seek  Him. • To   us,   the   Realm   of   Spirit   is   broad,   roomy,   all   inclusive;   never   exclusive   or forbidding  to  those  who  earnestly  seek.  It  is  open,  we  believe,  to  all  men. Big  Book  page  #47:

• As   soon   as   a   man   can   say   that   he   does   believe,   or   is   willing   to   believe,   we emphatically  assure  him  that  he  is  on  his  way. • It   has   been   repeatedly   proven   among   us   that   upon   this   simple   cornerstone   a wonderfully  effective  spiritual  structure  can  be  built. Big  Book  page  #50:

• In  the  face  of  collapse  and  despair,  in  the  face  of  the  total  failure  of  their  human resources,   they   found   that   a   new   power,   peace,   happiness,   and   sense   of direction  flowed  into  them. Big  Book  page  #55:

• Sometimes  we  had  to  search  fearlessly,  but  He  was  there.  He  was  as  much  a  fact as  we  were.  We  found  the  Great  Reality  deep  down  within  us. Big  Book  page  #57:

• Even  so  has  God  restored  us  all  to  our  right  minds. • But  He  has  come  to  all  who  have  honestly  sought  Him. • When  we  drew  near  to  Him  He  disclosed  Himself  to  us! PROMISES  OF  STEP  THREE

Big  Book  page  #63.

• More  and  more  we  became  interested  in  seeing  what  we  could  contribute  to  life. • As  we  felt  new  power  flow  in,  as  we  enjoyed  peace  of  mind,  as  we  discovered  we could  face  life  successfully,  as  we  became  conscious  of  His  presence,  we  began  to lose  our  fear  of  today,  tomorrow  or  the  hereafter. • We  were  reborn. • An  effect,  sometimes  a  very  great  one,  was  felt  at  once. Big  Book  page  #68.

• At  once,  we  commence  to  outgrow  fear. Big  Book  page  #70.

• We  have  begun  to  learn  tolerance,  patience  and  good  will  toward  all  men,  even our  enemies,  for  we  look  on  them  as  sick  people. PROMISES  OF  STEP  FIVE
