Thank you . We are less than two months from the NA convention . What should we be doing now to prepare our intention for this in person event ? and if one fears that his intention is not pure then the deficiency comes for prayer would be the best for this ? anything else besides this ?
Is preparing for a virtual lesson vs a lesson in person the same ? or is there extra or different preparation to meeting and seeing the ten and the friends in person ? for example we have the NA congress coming . If we are going in person do we prepare the same way?
When one experiences a greater fear of leaving the path vs staying on the path , is this what is described in the writings as believing in “reward and punishment ” or is this something else entirely ?
Thank you.
I have heard it said ” what is hateful to yourself do not do to another ” wouldn’t this be subjective to how an an individual perceives what is “hateful” ?, and beyond this if its something the person is views as “hateful”  and they are actively trying not to do that said thing within the group but then another does this said thing in the group . This then resistance will also show the breakdown in the connection between the person and the group within self/ego ultimately ? (seeing themselves as higher than the friends )  which then they must pray for assistance from above to annul themselves to see the merits in the friends ?
When one sees resistance in or through the friends , should they see this as being hyper literal, as in what they are seeing in the friend is perhaps inside them as well ? or should it be its the connection in which is flawed in another way by the ego? or perhaps even both ?
