Steinway Hall: Emmet Fox & the 12 Steps

In AA’s earliest days, many members found deep guidance in the writings of Emmet Fox, whose lectures at Steinway Hall became a regular gathering place after meetings. He offered simple but powerful spiritual truths: our thoughts shape our lives, love and forgiveness transform us, resentment keeps us sick, and real growth happens when we live one day at a time.  

“Moment by moment, day by day, week by week I shall root out from my own heart every condemnation of my brother, no matter who or where he may be, or what he  may have done; every atom of resentment for any unkindness or injustice that has ever been shown to me, or to one that I love; every particle of jealousy of others, however cleverly it may be disguising itself; every smallest thought or feeling, in short, which is not an expression of Divine Love. My own heart is to be my workshop, my laboratory, my great enterprise and contribution to humanity.”  -Emmet Fox’s Yoga of Love 1933.
