Greetings All -
Step 31 - I wish to see a world I have never seen before.
I WISH TO SEE A WORLD I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. in the year THIS REPRESENTS YOUR DESIRE FOR KNOWLEDGE. It represents your desire for peace. It is all the same desire. This desire emanates from your Knowledge. It may compete with other desires. It may threaten other things, though it need not necessarily do so. Therefore, the affirmation for today reflects your true will in life. As this is affirmed, it becomes more apparent to you, and you are able to experience it more and more in time.
TODAY UPON EACH HOUR, FEEL YOUR DESIRE to see a different world. Look at the world without judgment and say to yourself, “I wish to see a different world.” Do this every hour. Try not to miss any practice sessions. Practice no matter how you feel, no matter what is occurring. You are greater than your emotional states and so you need not deny them, though they will need to be controlled in time. You
are greater than the images you see around you, for they mostly represent your judgment upon the world. Practice this day looking without judgment and feeling as you look.
are greater than the images you see around you, for they mostly represent your judgment upon the world. Practice this day looking without judgment and feeling as you look.
PRACTICE 31: Hourly practice.
Yesterday: Step 30 - Today I will observe my world.
As I noted yesterday, remembering to do a practice hourly can take some help. Today I noticed I wasn't hearing the hourly chime, so I went on to set an alarm at :59 on my phone, a minute before the hourly, so I would hear it.

12:50 A.M. Sunday, August 15 ...
S2K - I was supposed to check on the hour, to feel if there was something else to do. Nothing came - except the desire to hike the path. That energized me - 7:05 - 8:05 p.m.

...
1:45 A.M. I spend most of my time trying to understand the world - then trying to forget what I've connected. I get pulled into music and music videos. That edge of the world - then the Spirit side - Council of 9 - it is all, all, all sacred.We come this side of the veil - this is truth .
So - I - am.
9:28 A.M. My parents were gods and I was the center of their universe.
S2K - Cultivating receptiveness to feeling what needs to be done. "Allow your inner guidance to influence you, which it will do if you are not governed by impulses, fear or ambition." I thought that for the past five years I was being guided/influenced. I don't know if I got sloppy, misguided or was simply attacked by people who didn't get it. I'm still pinged by ... & .... I'm slowly trying to show them my wisdom - and the benefit - that's why I stayed the course. I don't want to leave. Too - I've changed - reduced my judgement of ... and embraced paradox - future focus. [work issues] ...
11:00 A.M. I have the ideas ... they are coming through.
12:03 p.m. I want to be a teacher of God. [ACIM] To become so, I need to be a better student. My peers/students - seem hard to my message - their troubles revolve around failure to use information, develop their own skills. My Issues as well - who is the hard student - me or them?
I don't understand the resentment. I see a world of extremes -

A lot going on this day. References to prior spiritual reading and teaching, as well as dealing with many relationship issues in my work as director of a regional planning agency.
