Greetings All -
Step 11 - I am not apart from life.
REGARDLESS OF THE GREAT ESTABLISHMENTS built upon your individuality and all that is associated with you personally— your body, your ideas, your difficulties, your specific forms of expression, your idiosyncrasies, your talents—you are not apart from life.This is so obvious if you look at yourself with simplicity and realize that the very makeup of your body, the very fabric of your physical life, is completely made of what life is in the physical. It is quite apparent that you are made of the same “stuff ” as everything else around you.What is mysterious is your mind. It seems to be a distinct point of understanding, but it is as much a part of life as your physical fabric.You are an individual unaware of your Source and your total inclusion in life.Your individuality is a burden now, but it will be a great happiness to you when it can express life itself.
PRACTICE 11: Read the lesson three times today.
Time commitment - Again, read fast or slowly, thoughtfully. A minute or two.

Yesterday, Step 10 - What is Knowledge?
From the Journal:
1:25
p.m. Tuesday, July 6 - 1999 - at work - buried in details. That is what
keeps the place going. It is an energy challenge. The K stuff brings up
many of the old ACIM issues. Why even be here? The heat wave makes
things no easier. I'm so alone in all of this, in my vision - that it is
hard to imagine I'm getting any support. I'm trying to simplify the
office. It will simplify out of existence. Words mean nothing?
It is time to regroup - organize for the next century. [Remember - Y2K is near]
Reading
Step 10 may or may not generate thoughts for your journal. As noted
before, the book page can function as a journal like this:
Note today's entries, as well as those from before. I assume the second set is from the second year of doing Steps.
