‘So long as one of my fellow addicts is not happy,joyous and free, then I am also not free’, and which in the past, used to be understood only at a personal level, now has to be ‘understood’ and ‘lived’ at a higher level of spiritual responsibility. Today, expanding the sphere of our responsibility to include more and more dimensions of our recovery, that we will be able to grow into our deeper humanity and thus come to realise that who we actually are is not an individual but a multividual - a universal being! So when Plato told us that each of us contained the qualities of everyman and everywoman and that both what is best and worst about man - his capacity for sainthood, sage-hood and genius, as well as his destructiveness and murderousness- lies inside each of us - from this ‘new’ place, his words can begin to make sense!
