🔮 The Hidden History of the 12 Steps: Carl Jung, Mysticism, and the Path to Awakening | The Infinite Spark of Being Podcast

The mystical and esoteric practices of the Oxford Group

How the 12 Steps mirror ancient spiritual initiation

Bill Wilson’s secret psychedelic experiments to spark awakening

Why recovery is really a path to transformation — not just sobriety
