Summary

Bill W is sharing on the topic of Spiritual Experience at an unknown meeting in April of 1968. Many of the Bill W recordings are very bad quality, this one was just ok. I did manage to clear out a large amount of background noise and adjusted the tones to make it more listenable. The first half is cleaner than the second half. Overall its not an unpleasant listen but it may not be for everyones ear. Regardless I think its important to keep Bill's speaks out there.

0:46.3	Let's live one day at a time. Tomorrow is John, today is here, the future is not yet with it. And in that quite little statement, there is a great deal of Wilson.
0:55.0	But like so many of our familiar shoes, it doesn't cover all the parloric.
1:02.0	And can still leave us rather cock-eyed on the subject of time.
1:10.0	I make this few observations as a backdrop on talking a little about the tradition.
1:18.6	For example, if a person is all the time in the past, whether it was great, whether it was more,
1:30.3	or wishing for the good old days when he could drink like a gentleman,
1:34.3	no progress at all his pot.
1:37.3	And at best, he becomes a conservative who is again all change.
1:43.3	On the other hand, if I live in today in a really absolute sense and forget about it and
1:55.0	take nothing about tomorrow, I become a creature of pure seniority, and you get nowhere.
2:06.0	On the contrary, if I'm always pondering the future, I'm out of the reality of today,
2:14.6	so that if you make the two-third divisions time, then they'll be looked at one as good, the present,
2:23.3	then the past is rather bad, and the future is not something to be concerned with, I think
