Greetings All –
YOU HAVE COME INTO THE WORLD AT A CRUCIAL TIME. You have come to serve the world in its present needs. You have come to prepare for future generations. Can all of this be meaningful to you personally now? Perhaps not, because you are working for the present and for the future. You are working for the life that you will live and for lives that will follow yours. This is fulfilling to you now, for this is your gift that you have come to give. Without pretense and without uncertainty, this will arise from you naturally and will give itself into the world. Weaving your life with other lives in a very specific way, it is meant to uplift you and all with whom you come in contact. The Plan is greater than your personal ambition, and only your personal ambition can cloud your vision of what you must do. Be thankful, then, today that there is a role for you to fulfill in the world. You have come into the world to fulfill this role—for your own fulfillment, for the advancement of your world and for service to your Spiritual Family.
IN YOUR TWO PRACTICE PERIODS TODAY, concentrate and affirm that there is a role for you to play. Do not attempt to fill in that role according to your ideas or your wishes, but allow that role to fulfill itself, for Knowledge within you will fulfill it once you are prepared. In stillness and acceptance, affirm that there is a role for you to play in the world and experience the power and the truth of this great idea.
PRACTICE 92: Two 30-minute practice periods.

Could re-benchmark annual plan?

7:35 p.m. At Little Bear for my weekly review. I have my flashlight - so this is being done in the dark. So much to do - I need Knowledge to to help set my priorities. Clothes & car today, and propane heater - no risk, future use. I need lots of food to keep going ... that is next.
Little Bear is another big rock near Patience. The best photo I have is from the winter. Patience is the large rock in the background. Off the trail is a good place for stillness. The reference to the propane heater has to do with Y2K prepping as a heating alternative in the event of an electrical system failure. Y2K was the shorthand for the "Year 2000" failures anticipated because computer systems had been designed with a two digit year field since the start because memory was so limited. In my writing and thinking, Steps to Knowledge was S2K because of the Y2K use at that time.
