Step 71 - I am here to serve a greater purpose. Entry for Step 70 - Review



Greetings All -


YOU ARE HERE TO SERVE A GREATER PURPOSE, beyond mere survival and the gratification of the things you may think you want. This is true because you have a spiritual nature. You have a spiritual origin and a spiritual destiny. Your failure in this life is the failure to respond to your spiritual nature, which has been distorted and maligned by the religions of your world, which has been neglected and denied by the science of your world. You have a spiritual nature. You have a greater purpose to serve. When you trust your inclination for this purpose, you will be able to come closer to it. When you feel confident that it represents a genuine source of love, then you will begin to open yourself to it, and this will be a great homecoming for you. 

IN YOUR TWO MEDITATION PRACTICE PERIODS TODAY, allow yourself to open to the presence of love in your life. Sitting silently and breathing deeply, let yourself truly feel the presence of love, which signifies the presence of a greater purpose in your life.

PRACTICE 71: Two 30-minute practice periods.

Yesterday: Step 70 - Review

 
From the Journal:

Saturday, September 25, 1999

Hardly wise - is the goal too big. Things to be left behind ... - 
6:45 A.M. ...
I will review S2k and meet with Bob T - about my website.
...

1:52 p.m. ... He thought the idea was decent, but hard to make money off of - ...

There are lots of little and big things I could do this afternoon. I will go to the woods - review S2K and ponder my options. 
...

Not very exciting journal entries, but I am learning a lot about want I was thinking at that time and how things have worked over the past 14 years. If you are introspective, which you probably are since you are doing these steps and have pursued spirituality in your life, even avoiding it as an agnostic or otherwise avoiding it, it has been part of your thoughts as well as what should you be doing in life. Seventy days of Steps - congratulations and hang on.
