This Meditational segment explores the depth and beauty of the famous prayer/poem “I am He, I am He”, (Poem of Shankaracharya translated by Swami Vivekananda.

I Am He - Poem (short form)

I am He; I am He!

Mind, nor intellect, nor ego, feeling;

Sky nor earth nor metals am I,

I am He, I am He, Blessed Spirit, I am He!

No birth, no death, no caste have I, Father, mother, have I none,

I am He, I am He, Blessed Spirit, I am He!

Beyond all fancy, formless am I,

Free from dreams of all earthly life,

I am He, I am He, Blessed Spirit, I am He!

Bondage I fear not; I’m free in Thy joy! Free! Oh, free, Lord, free in Thy bliss!

I am He, I am He, Blessed Spirit, I am He!

Welcome to the Sober is Dope Podcast with your host, POP Buchanan. This episode looks at the origins of Alcoholics Anonymous, and the legendary encounter with Dr. Carl Jung, and American Businessman “Roland H.” This encounter sheds light on the Vital Spiritual Experienced mentioned in AA, and the need for Spirituality in the recovery process.

“The origins of Alcoholics Anonymous can be traced to the Oxford Group, a religious movement popular in the United States and Europe in the early 20th century. Members of the Oxford Group practiced a formula of self-improvement by performing self-inventory, admitting wrongs, making amends, using prayer and meditation, and carrying the message to others. The Oxford Group was a non-secular organization and promoted religious and spiritual ideas amongst its members. Founded by an American Christian missionary, Frank Buchman, who promoted the idea of surrendering one’s life over to God’s plan. This idea is central to the 12-step program adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous.” - Friends of Bill and Bob

Rowland Hazard III visits Swiss Psychoanalyst Carl Jung

In 1932, a prominent Rhode Islander, Rowland H., visited the noted Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung for help with his alcoholism. Jung determined that Rowland’s case was medically hopeless and that he could only find relief through a vital spiritual experience. Jung directed him to the Oxford Group.

Welcome to the Sober is Dope Podcast with your host, POP Buchanan. This episode explores Harm reduction as a means of treatment and also exposes the biases of opioid use and addiction. Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. Harm Reduction is also a movement for social justice built on a belief in, and respect for, the rights of people who use drugs. Thank you to SAMHSA for the informative videos. Please enjoy.

Excerpt from Harm Reduction Coalition:

Principles of Harm Reduction

Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. Harm Reduction is also a movement for social justice built on a belief in, and respect for, the rights of people who use drugs.

Harm reduction incorporates a spectrum of strategies from safer use, to managed use to abstinence to meet drug users “where they’re at,” addressing conditions of use along with the use itself. Because harm reduction demands that interventions and policies designed to serve drug users reflect specific individual and community needs, there is no universal definition of or formula for implementing harm reduction.

However, HRC considers the following principles central to harm reduction practice.

* Accepts, for better and or worse, that licit and illicit drug use is part of our world and chooses to work to minimize its harmful effects rather than simply ignore or condemn them.

* Understands drug use as a complex, multi-faceted phenomenon that encompasses a continuum of behaviors from severe abuse to total abstinence, and acknowledges that some ways of using drugs are clearly safer than others.

* Establishes quality of individual and community life and well-being–not necessarily cessation of all drug use–as the criteria for successful interventions and policies.

* Calls for the non-judgmental, non-coercive provision of services and resources to people who use drugs and the communities in which they live in order to assist them in reducing attendant harm.

* Ensures that drug users and those with a history of drug use routinely have a real voice in the creation of programs and policies designed to serve them.

* Affirms drugs users themselves as the primary agents of reducing the harms of their drug use, and seeks to empower users to share information and support each other in strategies which meet their actual conditions of use.

* Recognizes that the realities of poverty, class, racism, social isolation, past trauma, sex-based discrimination and other social inequalities affect both people’s vulnerability to and capacity for effectively dealing with drug-related harm.

* Does not attempt to minimize or ignore the real and tragic harm and danger associated with licit and illicit drug use.
