Greetings All –
YOU HAVE COME TO THE WORLD TO SERVE, but first you
must receive. First, you must unlearn what you have taught yourself so that you
may reclaim that which you have brought with you. This preparation is essential
for your success and for your happiness as well. Do not think that through
understanding alone you will be able to recognize and give your true gifts. Your
participation is your preparation, for you are being prepared to participate in
life. Thus, we draw you more and more into the mystery of life and the manifestation
of life. In this way, you will be able to treat the mystery as mysterious with
wonder and you will be able to treat the manifestation of life practically and
with objectivity. With this, you will be able to be a bridge from your Ancient
Home to the manifest world. Across this bridge the Wisdom of Knowledge may
express itself, and you may find your greatest fulfillment.
PRACTICE YOUR RAHN MEDITATION TWICE TODAY with
great depth and concentration, and remember your idea upon the hour so that you
may utilize all occurrences today on your own behalf.
PRACTICE 139: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.
Note the challenge: “First, you must unlearn what you have taught yourself so that you may
reclaim that which you have brought with you.” This is the process underway now in the Steps. Is it to your benefit? It
was for me – that is my witness. Is life perfect? No, but it has become much better.
From the Journal:
12:50
A.M. December 2, 1999 – Thursday
Worked
until 11:15 p.m. last night on RTOP . Today was to be the big changeover plan,
but Frederick Co. didn’t show. Lots going on… Really lean we are these days.
S2K> GCW-I – Stillness is God, movement is everything else. How far can we
push the envelope; when do you end up with a new envelope?
9:30
p.m. Preparing for the second practice session. Even though this is late – I’d
not risk skipping one. That did not work Tuesday. Tomorrow I give a lecture at SU
[Shenandoah University] – don’t know which slides to use.
The journal is a place for insights, but mostly for
mundane reflections from the day. What slides should I use? Is that a question
for Knowledge? The notion of “right-brain” thinking is that problems should be
considered, then forgotten about. The brain is a computer that rund background
programs. At some point in the future the solution appears when you are driving
down the road, taking a walk or otherwise not engaged in trying to solve the
particular problem. Is Knowledge part of that invisible, but tap-able part
intuition, or is it even greater, giving what we need, when needed, if we have
ears to hear, eyes to see?
