"Think
only about
what is holy. Empty your mind."

There
is a direct linkage among self-examination, meditation, and prayer.
Taken
separately, these practices can bring much relief and benefit. But when
they
are logically related and interwoven, the result is an unshakable
foundation
for life. Now and then we may be granted a glimpse of that ultimate
reality
which is God's kingdom. And we will be comforted and assured that our
own
destiny in that realm will be secure for so long as we try, however
falteringly, to find and do the will of our own creator...
The
actual experience of meditation and prayer across the centuries is, of
course,
immense. The world's libraries and places of worship are a treasure
trove for
all seekers. It is hoped that every A.A. who has a religious connection
which
emphasizes meditation will return to the practice of that devotion as
never
before.
