Greetings All –
PRACTICE CONSISTENTLY TODAY regardless of what is occurring within you or without. This consistency represents
a Greater Power within you. This consistency will give you certainty and
stability in the face of all disturbances, in the face of all external events
and in the face of all emotional states within you. This consistency will
stabilize and balance you and in time will bring everything into right order
within you. You practice consistency so that you may learn it and experience
it. As you do this, it will bestow upon you the empowerment that you will need
to be a contributor in this world.
THEREFORE, TODAY PRACTICE CONSISTENTLY. Practice
upon the hour, reminding yourself to be consistent. In your two meditations, practice
keeping your mind steady and focused, allowing it to settle into itself so that
it may experience its own nature. Do not repress what is occurring within you. Do not control what
is occurring without. Simply maintain consistency, and all things will find a
right balance and relationship to this. Thus, you are bringing forth Knowledge
into the world, for Knowledge is entirely consistent. This will render you a
person of great presence and power. Others will come to experience your
consistency in time as it is more fully received by you and more fully
developed. They will find refuge in your consistency, and this will remind them
of their purpose as well, which waits to be discovered.
PRACTICE 142: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.
Note: “You
practice consistency so that you may learn it and experience it. As you do
this, it will bestow upon you the empowerment that you will need to be a
contributor in this world.”
Yesterday: Step 141 - I will be confident this day.

Regions – have the potential to be networked – they are local networks –
conscious or not – which can be networked. It takes a broader vision.
Practice first – (practice
continuously) –
The sky is blue, the sun shines
brightly – it is Sunday – why must I go to the office?
Somehow I’ve got to simplify the
work/my life in order to practice. I get ideas – I want to bring them through
and make them public.
…
Organization…the key to manifestation.
We already sit upon/co-exist with eons worth of organization which the
spiritual and physical have given us.
Earth is a good place to experience.

decisions is making me unhappy.

ordering info & resources.
Daily/hourly/moment to moment checkup
→How
am I doing? Really?
At 11:45 A.M. → I’m pruning away the unnecessary and
focusing. I’m learning more about relationships and acting even more to
encourage all other children of God.
→
the goal of life is to find real work →
My book idea – find the book that hasn’t been written & write it.
3:30 p.m. Just getting to my first
practice. I’m at work. …
11:27 p.m. 2nd meditation of
the day. “I will be confident this day.” – Why not?
Here, the narrative continues. Some insight, plus a
burden of idealism, one I felt then, but did not understand as a burden.
Ultimately it gets resolved. Your journal entries may consider greater or
lesser burdens on any given day. Empowerment is promised in Step 142. Let’s
work towards that.
