IF YOU LIVE IT is designed to add to, jumpstart and/or recharge a spiritual life and create a working intent leading towards knowing God and not just reading about divinity. Are you searching for happiness? Do you long to have a spirit filled with more freedom than fear? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? If so, don't wait another minute to open up this book and dive in.
If you work the steps within these pages integrously, from start to finish, and find ways to serve others in the process, you will have a spiritual experience and awakening which will propel you towards states of continual peace, love and joy. You'll find no religious dogma here, no guilt trips or up-sells, no positionality or superiority, and no fear-based doctrines or judgements... just pure and powerful truth designed to be applicable for your everyday life.
The 12-Steps, in and of themselves, have the power to deliver you to a handshake with divinity and to create a life where spirituality is lived and not just pretended to be practiced through whatever means seem popular at the time. This book has added commentary and context on the 12-Steps for the purpose of expanding the program into a ministry the whole world can take part in and find usefulness through. IF YOU LIVE IT uses the 12-Steps in a recontextualized manner for the benefit of anyone who finds this work with the knowingness that you too will find immense value in working them, regardless of not being fortunate enough to have an active addiction to drugs or alcohol.
The way IF YOU LIVE IT was put together is through the inspiration of a few who planted the idea for presenting the 12-Steps as a collective good, not to be held only for the lucky few who find themselves addicts of one nature or another. This book is for everyone, regardless of you thinking you have a problem with your ego or not, for I have yet to meet a person who can control their thoughts and stop fears from arising, not to mention stop worry or shame, guilt, desire, cravingness, wantingness, attention, appreciation, or any other way the ego chooses to deliver awareness to you currently throughout your daily waking hours.
