In Part 1 from the December 2008 Men's Spiritual Weekend, Sandy B. offers a powerful, humorous, and deeply grounded invitation into the heart of spiritual awakening. Speaking to a room of men gathered entirely by word-of-mouth, he honors their role as seekers—those quietly becoming beacons of spiritual energy and transformation in their communities. Through vivid metaphors and AA wisdom, Sandy explains how we often carry imaginary burdens—problems made of thought—and how awakening dismantles the self-centered trance that created them. Drawing from Chuck Chamberlain and Bill Wilson, he emphasizes that all our problems stem from one thing: conscious separation from God. True healing and clarity begin when we make spiritual awakening—not just sobriety—our highest priority. Whether through letting go, honest prayer, or seeing life differently, Sandy reminds us that everything changes when we stop being the center of the story and instead orbit around something greater.
