Welcome to episode 153 of the Recovery Show. Today's show is an open talk by

a Jeat S and I first heard a JET open talk many years ago when I was new in the program I found a

CD or a tape of an open talk he had given back then. This one that I'm going to share with you today is

more recent where he talks about his growth in the program since then and shares what were for me some very resonant insights into the way in

which we work our program and into his connection with a higher power.

Hope you enjoy Ajit's talk.

I hope that something he says touches you.

Thanks, Christie, for that underwhelming introduction.

I was expecting some glowing compliments.

What a spiritually grounded, intelligent, witty area to diagnose.

And then I would have humbled myself and say I'm embarrassed by the compliments.

Because you haven't said enough.

I said, it's easy.

I said that David, there you go, count them, one, two.

Good morning, my name is a jete got a menser

crowd you can actually pronounce a foreign name so easily thank you they say

you have to be a higher intelligence to be able to say foreign names.

And by Dick's standards, my God is still asleep because I'm on California time.

It's no way to him. Thank you again for asking me to come out. Thank you

Kristi Ann for asking me to come out here and speak and it's cold Chicago weather.

But I'm not resentful because we're experiencing the same thing in Southern California.

It's in the 30s tonight, I guess, so it's all right.
