Greetings All -
I WANT TO BE SEPARATE TO BE UNIQUE. THIS THOUGHT REPRESENTS THE TRUE MOTIVE for separation, yet it is unnecessary.We do not give it here as an affirmation but as an expression of your current state.You want to be separate because this defines your self; your self is defined in terms of separation, not in terms of inclusion. Separation is the source of all your pain and confusion of mind.Your physical life demonstrates a separate life but only from a certain point of view. Given another point of view, it does not demonstrate separation at all. It demonstrates a unique expression of a Greater Reality.
ON TWO OCCASIONS TODAY, spend 15 minutes concentrating upon the idea for today.Think seriously about what this lesson means and call upon your own experience to reflect upon its relevance to your life. Reflect upon what your desire for separation has cost you in time, energy and pain. Realize your motivation for separation and you will know that you want to be free.
PRACTICE 13: Two 15-minute practice periods.

Yesterday, Step 12 - My individuality is to express life itself.
From the Journal:
Actually, yesterday's entry from July 7 was for Step 12. Journals do end up with gaps and errors. When I go back and review, I'll make spelling corrections and add punctuation, or cross something out. Of course, you can do the same, since it isn't a legal record of any type. It is your journal - not the log book of a ship, or is it?
