TODAY WE SHALL REVIEW THE PAST WEEK OF PREPARATION. Review
this objectively without condemnation, once again realizing your advancements
and your limitations and strengthening your resolve. For it is your desire for
Knowledge that we wish to cultivate as well as your capacity. It is right
thinking, right action and true motivation that will advance you naturally in
the direction in which you are meant to go. Each step forward will give you a
greater sense of purpose, meaning and direction in life and will free you from attempting
to resolve matters that do not require resolution and from attempting to
understand things out of fear and anxiety. The more at peace you are with your nature, the more your nature can express the greatness that you have brought
with you. Thus, you will become a light unto all around you, and you will
marvel at the events of your own life, which in itself will be a miracle.
IN YOUR LONG PRACTICE PERIOD TODAY, undertake your
review with depth and sincerity. Do not let anything dissuade you from your practice
today. It is your practice that is your gift to God, for you give yourself in
your practice, and you receive your gift as well.
PRACTICE 133: One long practice period.
From the Journal:

A.M. Friday. I’ll go to work some. I need to be unburdened there. Reading GCW-I
Community – Spiritual Community/World Evolution.
“Therefore,
to be happy and to have meaning in the world, you must concentrate on
developing Knowledge and allow it to contribute itself where it knows it can be
of the greatest benefit. This will fulfill your need for relationship and
community.”

A.M. Slow start. There is so much need in the world. If we don’t learn this
time, it will be the next or the net. I’ve been concerned about traumatized souls.
Earth culture or lack of seems so good at doing that. There are, I’d guess – I believe
– I sense – ways that is dealt with. I’ve gained enough awareness to pursue
KNOWLEDGE. It fits my perception of the Mystery. I have contact – the goal is
to be the vehicle. It is a role both active and passive, though the later is
more the goal – being one with our spiritual family – on both sides of the
veil.
I consciously seek to help people envision community in the Shenandoah
Valley, specifically the Northern Valley. Community precedes planning. Define,
then support geographically and governmentally structurally logical communities.
There’s
envisioned perfection, and the steps to perfection. Man, many, many steps – but
no shortage of time.
11:17
A.M. – This book ends and another begins. I have a need for help from Knowledge
or my practical teachers – whichever level the answer/or the step – it may not
be a final answer.

WGC-1
p. 159 – “True community begins because an individual is experiencing spiritual
presence to a very great degree. They are being called by something;
something inside of them is being called by them. If they can open themselves
to this and follow its direction, then other people will be drawn to them, and
they will be the seed for community. This is community in the truest sense. It
is the product of one person responding to God.”
This
describes to me the path of awareness that I’ve been following for the past 25
years. I envision this region as a community of communities. I sit alone as I
write this, but I know the Northern Shenandoah Valley has presence/recognition.
It is becoming real.
…
The
entry goes on for several pages. My work related then, and still relates to the
greater community perspective. Yours may do so as well, directly or indirectly.
The
Steps may bring that out in you. Do record it as best you can in a journal. I
am returning to review these entries after fourteen years. The insights of 1999
remain valid, and they’ve been added to over the years. Still, the perspective
is not yet known in the world. It may be my role to do so, or perhaps that lies
in the future. These thoughts, so odd for this time, may spur thinking in the
future.
