Greetings All –
BE AT EASE TODAY KNOWING THAT KNOWLEDGE IS WITH YOU,
knowing that your Teachers are with you and knowing that your Spiritual Family
is with you. Let not anxieties or the burden of concern take you away from your
practice today.
AS YOU MOVE THROUGH THE DAY, practicing upon the
hour, remind yourself to be at ease, for Knowledge is your guide now. If it is untroubled,
you need not be troubled. Release yourself from habitual preoccupations, from
habitual bondage. Strengthen your resolve to do this and it will become easier
in time. Then it will happen all by itself most naturally. Your mind has habits of thought. That
is all they are. As they are replaced with new habits, Knowledge will begin to
shine through the structure that you have imposed upon it. Here Knowledge will
begin to shine forth, to guide your actions, to lead you to insight and important discovery and to give you a
greater strength and certainty than you have ever known.
IN YOUR HOURLY PRACTICES, therefore, utilize your
self-discipline on your own behalf. In your two meditation practices, remain
very alert but with a still mind.
PRACTICE 111: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.

A.M. I will be honest with myself today. S2K – this is challenging – for I am
both average and unique. I’m also getting old, tired and lazy – but no rest is
in sight. Others need me, I need myself and I have a heavenly perspective –
regional cooperation – to promote.
After
reading the Urantia book I’ve been waiting for the moment of Thought
Adjuster – soul fusion where, in a bright light, you go off earth to the
next level. When you master, you disappear.
Someday
I’ll die – and the drama here will go on, getting better, faster – the happy
dream. There is so much detail, yet it mst be seen/dealt with as whole. What
fun?

p.m. Have I been honest all day? In some respects yes, in others it isn’t
possible. I did not do a second session. When I came home from work I just
wanted to veg. That was hones. If I did the practice, I’d be up way too late –
and energized.
I’m
drinking the last of the scotch. Johnnie Walker Red – very nice – but too
expensive a habit. …

A.M. Friday, November 5 – Staying up late – hoping some thought will come and
save me from being myself. It never comes.
Bumping along - I am at this time. A few thoughts
written on the Steps book page.
