“I will go where I am
needed today.” Step 194
|
ALLOW YOURSELF TO GO WHERE YOU ARE NEEDED, where you
need to go. This necessity of action will give value and meaning to your
activities and will affirm your worth in all of your engagements this day. Go
where you are needed, where you need to go. Discern the actual motivation for
this and distinguish it from any sense of guilt or obligation to others. Do not
place artificial demands upon yourself. Do not allow others to place artificial
demands upon you beyond your simple duties in this day. Go where you are truly needed.
REMIND YOURSELF OF THIS UPON THE HOUR, for its
meaning must be penetrated to be experienced. If you are accustomed to guilt
and obligation, today’s idea will seem to compound your difficulty. Yet, today’s
idea is really an affirmation of Knowledge within you, providing an opportunity
for Knowledge to guide you and to demonstrate its value to you. It has nothing
to do with dependence, for you must be independent of false things to follow
that which is true. This is the value of all independence.
IN YOUR LONGER PRACTICE PERIODS, go deeply into
Knowledge. And when you are in the world, keep this idea alive. Allow yourself
to feel a deeper presence within you as you are out in the world of mundane
things, as you are out in the world of small considerations. Greatness is here
to serve the small. Remember.
PRACTICE 194: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.
Note: “Go
where you are needed, where you need to go. Discern the actual motivation for
this and distinguish it from any sense of guilt or obligation to others.”
Yesterday: Step
193 - I shall listen to others without judgment today.
From the Journal: January 26, 2000 – No entry.
Steps page – a few notes and underlines.
Let’s keep at it.
NNC
Journal second time x2 Step 193. This
is for those who have completed Steps once. Doing Steps with only the texts,
messages and your life experience, including what you may have studied and
practiced is your journey. I’m showing Step comments after the Step, so as not
to influence you in advance. It is a wilderness trek to be left to your own
wits, but then you can also listen more closely for guides, angels and
teachers, always first saying: “I surround and protect myself with the Love and
the Grace of God.” Thankfully, I was taught this practice in 1989.
P.S. If you’ve some interest due to this or other
Steps, you should go to the beginning blog post. From here you will learn about Steps to Knowledge
and can begin it on the day that makes sense; then progress as needed. You can
use the posts on this blog as a companion if it helps. They will remain in
order in the archives - one post per Step.
Often it takes 18 months to get through the Steps
once. For this blog, the pace is one-a-day, but it really makes no difference
how fast you do it, only that you begin, persist and repeat. Posts here provide
a trail that may let you have a virtual companion when and if you want one. One
may have to study alone, as I did in the beginning. There are other Steps
students blogging their experience and you might find a person more like you as
a companion, or use a number of such Steps journeys. There are options as well
through the Free School of the New Message.
