A Vision For You and Joys of Recovery

There are fractions from AA that adopt the afore mentioned "titles" to their recovery. It scares me but I have to remember that it is just something that isn't right for me. I do see newcomers cobbled by them though.Well I haven't actually seen it but heard about it from newcomers. It worries me as they know no better and it undermines the experience of choice that I have today. The picture in my head reminds me of Agent Smith from The Matrix trilogy ...
I have taken this information from Wikipedia.

Smith began as an Agent, an AI program in the Matrix. Programmed to keep order within the system by terminating human simulacra which would bring instability to the simulated reality, as well as any rogue programs that no longer serve a purpose to the Machine collective. To this end, Smith possesses the ability to take control over the simulated body of any human wired into the Matrix. As an Agent, Smith is able to bend the rules of the Matrix (such as gravity and the limitations of the human body), giving him speed and strength beyond ordinary human capability. He and other Agents can dodge bullets flawlessly, punch through concrete with their bare hands, and jump impossible distances. Agents also have the ability to communicate with each other instantaneously and perceive what other humans wired into the Matrix do via a type of shared consciousness, represented visually via their earpieces (when Agent Smith removes his earpiece during the first film, he is left unaware of the attack on his building). Smith's weapon of choice in the first film, as is standard with all Agents within the Matrix, is the Desert Eagle, chambered for high-caliber .50 AE ammunition.
At the end of the first Matrix film, Smith appeared to have been deleted by Neo; however, in the sequels, Smith is revealed to have been "freed" from the Machines' control, preventing him from being forcibly sent to the system source where he and other programs would be deleted. This process makes him into a renegade program, effectively making him a self-replicating computer virus. Along with his freedom, Smith gains the ability to copy himself onto others within the Matrix, rather than simply having the ability to switch between bodies as normal agents are able to. By copying himself into a human in the process of disconnecting from the Matrix by making use of the in-Matrix landlines
Smith is able to insert himself into the outside world. This is seen when Smith takes over Bane's body in The Matrix Reloaded. Smith's real power comes from his ability to absorb memories and power from his victims, culminating in his form that fights Neo in the final battle of the Matrix series. Smith goes so far as to copy himself into the Oracle and he even tries to control Morpheus, and Neo himself.

I almost visualise these people as turning up in dark suits and sunglasses, very serious indeed and sticking together in clusters to keep their strength. Just like agents. The thing is there is a reasonable looking purpose as with Agent Smith to offer a service to keep the positivity. And to remind about people about remaining vigilant. The problem s that by being so utterly break-away there is a power that is going on. There seems to be a corruption taking place of the basic texts and the gentleness of the fellowship. I can see how this happens with humans time and time again. There seems to be a desire to destroy any individuality in case this is dangerous. I am not sure what Wikipedia is saying about destroying the simulacra because that seems to me that Agent Smith is out to destroy anything that is likeness to humanness if I am understanding simulacra correctly. Whereas I see it as a destruction of uniqueness. It is fear I think glowing through but manifesting as powerful and controlling. Please Universe what is this? The destruction infiltrating even the growth of the recovery world which is about bringing freedom and joy from the heart not from external controls. It will of course attract power hungry who are deep down scared. Scared of life. Not secure in their own selves. I see it I think. How can I allow this to be all a part of the freedom of choice and growth too? Who am I to judge? I know it's not right for me at this time.I imagine there are people who consider FA a fractious group and the rigidity of the programme perhaps too much. I used to think such thoughts and yet I am discovering that if those boundaries are kept I get freedom from within. Perhaps These Agent Smith's are doing the same. Except they seem to recruit rather than just living their programme and promoting it that way. It's a break from one of the vital Traditions - number 11.

11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films.

It's good if people can show the opposite as well and then newcomers can choose something different. I guess it shows commitment to recovery if they put not drinking and following the overall suggestions anyway. It's troublesome though.

sim·u·la·crum

1. a slight, unreal, or superficial likeness or semblance.
2. an effigy, image, or representation: a simulacrum of Aphrodite.
 
Ah ha - I see so Agent Smith is there to destroy anything that is trying to superficially resemble something human and therefore lead people off the Matrix - astray from the grid. Yes that's what these "agents" seem to be doing. But they are losing something and becoming a super power or believe they are and their task so to speak is actually becoming destructive. This is what happens time and time again. Universe please can you help humans to be aware of and so drop their fears. To love instead and be equal through love. There is room for all.
But these people seem impervious to hearing any other points of views, dodging all tings that come at them. The more they get shot at the stronger they become.
And whereas before they were ostracised s they created their own environment, now they are infiltrating the meetings that they first moved away from. They want to recruit others to "rescue" them and show them THE way. Phew. This is a potential for battle later on. There will be those that will take on the fight. And in the end what will happen?
Universe please take care of everyone in this escalating situation.
