Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 >> 12 Steps of Humans Anonymous How do I renounce my ego? 1. We admitted that we were powerless over our egos, that our lives had always been unmanageable. << Hi Paul, once again, I have to say, this resonates with me, and I loved re-reading the 12 steps in this new context. I am familiar with AA and AlAnon, having been a member of both upon realizing (in my adulthood, oddly enough) that I had been surrounded by acting out alcoholics my entire life. Egotism, like alcoholism, is "catching." (Fortunately, according to Dharma, kundalina may also be. :::grin::: ) If you grow up with an alcoholic, it is highly likely that you will exhibit alcoholic behavior, even if you are not one yourself. Growing up in an ego-centric culture, I believe the same is true. And without taking the first step, nothing else is possible. Thank you for the reminder on both counts.
