Am I acting out of fear?
Am I being dishonest?
Am I being selfish?
That's 10.
Watch it vigilantly.
Share it with another person if you are.
Step 11, increase your conscious contact with God as you understand God and cultivate your relationship with God.
And then 12, the culmination and expression of having done all this, you carry the message to the person who still suffers and practice these principles in all your affairs.
I.e., when you become awakened or enlightened, your whole life now is about serving others.
It can be a bit cyclical and it can be a bit, I guess I'm a slow learner.
I'm a slow learner, man.
I struggle with the point of your life is to help others.

So the book I've written there, How to Become a Christian in 7 Days, it's not just the title that I really like because someone I knew when I was younger wrote a book about how to quit smoking in 7 days.
It's a good thing because people don't want something that's hard when they're doing something that is hard.
And then I noticed obviously that the creation story is seven days and that seven sort of means completion.
And I was able by God's grace to put those principles that I've just outlined in terms of addiction into the process, my personal testimony of becoming a Christian, particularly helped by when my pastor said, and I understand this to be a common Christian belief, that when you're not in Christ, it's not like you're drowning, you're dead forever.
