AA Step Seven -- Using the power in Words!
AA Step Seven is the martial arts method of ending emotional pain. Step Seven is, "Humbly asked Him to remove our hortcomings."
If you have reached this page it's probably because you have had trouble getting the AA Seventh Step to actually work. You are not alone. Step Seven is the hardest to understand and it's hardest to get working. But at the same time, it's the most profound and powerful.
Humility is the key! Step Seven doesn't work unless one, "Humbly asks."
The reason it's the hardest to understand is because the word, "Humility," is very difficult to understand. It origin is from Old English and means, to be servile. That's one meaning. But there's another meaning. The other meaning is, "Sublime," which means: to elevate or exalt, especially in dignity, honor or peace of mind."
When we get a dictionary definition of the word humility, it's usually involves being scraping and servile. So no one rushes to Step Seven with much enthusiasm. Then over time we come to realize there's another meaning, but we still have trouble.
Another reason is we don't actually know how to achieve the sublime state. Sublimation is the key. Sublimation means "To divert the expression or impulse of an instinctual desire or mental reaction, from its unacceptable form, to one that is considered more socially, culturally, or spiritually acceptable."
Achieving a state of humility (The Sublime State) in the midst of intense emotional pain such as anger, jealousy, fear, or depression is actually easy but only if you know how. Humbly asking, the requirement for Step Seven, comes easily too.
Sublimation itself is an easy task, but again -- only if you know how!
Trying to control the mind by forcing it into a state of humility using will power is not advisable. This is because it involves suppressing emotions. This causes both physical and mental illness. Suppressing anger is possibly one cause of cancer. Do it that way and Step Seven will give you cancer.
So achieving a state of humility is not done with direct will power. Besides will power is totally ineffective for sublimating any strong emotion into humility. If ever there is a fight between the will and emotions, the emotions always win. Trying to control anger with will power is like trying to control diarrhea with will power. It only works for a little while. Step Seven can't be done with will power alone.
Instead the martial arts system for controlling the mind is employed. None of the martial arts rely on physical strength alone. Instead the opponent's force is harnessed with leverage, and this doubles and triples one's own strength. We need power just to get the higher power to act for Step Seven.
In the same way emotional pain can be sublimated into humility. The human mind is not strong enough to do it with will power alone. So more power is needed. The power in words comes to our rescue. This is the real key to Step Seven.
All have seen a lady bent over in despair and hopelessness. Another lady whispers a few words of encouragement into her ear. Suddenly she straightens up with a look of determination and vitality. Such is the simple power in words.
Contrast this to the person, who in the midst of a suicidal depression, goes alone into his or her closet to pray. I don't want to say anything bad about prayer, because I know it can move mountains. But quite frankly, I personally have never had an luck getting alone with my depression and praying to have it removed.
When I had my bouts of suicidal depression, all I could really think about was getting the old shot gun. I told my sponsor about this. He said, "I don't advise going back into your closet to pray with that shot gun!"
Gee, why not?
Fortunately, I began using the martial arts method of controlling my depression almost from the beginning. I took advantage of the power of meetings, to lift my hopes dreams and ideas out of the doldrums. All I did was sit down and listen for a few minutes. Like a miracle, I could escape the pain and suffering of the depression -- just by sitting in the meeting and listening. The power in words was great enough to save me.
I learned this quite quickly. So right form the beginning I went to a lot of meetings. This was as much of an attempt at staying sane and functional as it was a matter of being reminded not take that first drink, pill, or toke.
Finally I had been sober for 31 years when I learned how to work Step Seven. I agree I'm a slow learner. But you don't need to wait 31 years as I did. You can learn to sublimate the emotions into a state of humility right from the beginning.
My depression for example, could not be solved with my own will power. But I could control it by changing my state of mind. There's a great deal of power in gratitude. I didn't realize this at first. So when I heard people identify as grateful alcoholics, I passed on the idea.
I thought the idea of finding 5 new things to be grateful was about as useful as an empty whiskey bottle. So I never even tired it. Also it aggravated me to no end, hearing people say they were grateful. I surely wasn't grateful. But finally I found one thing to be grateful. It completely changed my life.
That day I learned how to sublimate my depression into humility. Humility is a proactive state of mind. No emotional pain can exist there. It's impossible scientifically to be grateful and depressed at the same time. That's how much power there is in the simple grateful state of mind.
The power in the words coupled with, "Humbly asking Him to remove my shortcomings," has given me the ability to get rid of all emotional pain every time. This has not just happened a few times. It's been happening now for over 10 years.
As a fact out of my own experience, I have learned how to work Step Seven, which for relieving emotional pain is as fast acting and effective as a drink, a pill, or one of those funny little cigarettes.
Aristotle said, true happiness lies in the middle of two opposite extremes. I believe this is a very scientific psychology. It means that humility is in the middle and greed and anger are one extreme caused by selfishness. The other extreme is fear and depression which is caused by self-centeredness.
1. Gratitude has the power to sublimate depression into humility.
2. Renunciation has the power to sublimate greed into humility.
3. Faith and heroic stance has the power to sublimate fear into humility.
4. And wishing love has the power to sublimate anger into humility.
For this reason I say again, Step Seven is the most profound and powerful of all the steps. Humbly asking Him to remove my shortcomings, I easily get free of all motional pain every time. Immediately!

About the Author
Spent Years in Therapy
This was good but very expensive. Eventually I found something else. And the best part is, it's far more effective at ending emotional pain. It's what I call a change-of-thinking sedative. It relieves emotional pain quickly, effectively, and it's just as fast acting as a drink, psychiatric medications, or drugs. The effect is almost immediate!
No need tro spend years and years in therapy. And so I became an expert in killing my own emotional pain. You can become an expert too.
It's so simple a six (6) year-old child can easily learn it. It's not new and I certainly didn't invent anything. For the past five thousand years of recorded history, this scientific method of dealing with all emotional pain has existed. And although presently there's no school of professional therapy that teach this system exclusively, it agrees with all the early schools, including Freud, Young, and Adler.
It also agrees with all the modern schools of cognitive therapy, including Beck, and Seligman. Cognitive therapy is the only thing most insurance companies will pay for.
I've shared this method with friends and relatives. I even spent one semester in graduate school entertaining the thought of becoming a professional therapist. But I decided not to do this, because I already had a more effective system than the professionals. That is, I didn't really learn anything.
For years people have told me to write a book and put it all down. Finally I did this and I share most of this information free on my web site: spiritual-psychology.org.
