I AM AT ONE WITH THE GREATEST TRUTH OF LIFE.
WHAT IS THE GREATEST TRUTH OF LIFE? It is something that must be experienced,
for no great truth can be contained in an idea alone, though ideas may reflect
it within your current experience. Great truth is a product of great
relationship. You hold a great relationship with life. You hold a great
relationship with your true Teachers who are within you. Eventually you will
experience great relationship with those in your outer life, but first you must
experience the source of your great relationship in its true establishment
already. Then it is a matter of merely transferring it to the world outside,
which you will do naturally in time.
IN YOUR TWO PRACTICE PERIODS, practice feeling this relationship. Again you are asked to receive because you must receive this to give it. Once it is received, it will give of itself naturally. In the process of this your worth is re-established because it is quite apparent. You do not need to misrepresent yourself or your experience. To share a great love honestly means you must be experiencing it. It is this experience that we wish to give you today.
PRACTICE 25: Two 15-minute practice periods.

24 - I am worthy of God's love.
There is a little bit in my journal from this Step from 1999, but reading it today, Step 24 became a powerful check list. It is quite striking in its content:
- YOU ARE INDEED WORTHY OF GOD’S LOVE.
- In fact, you really are God’s love.
- Without pretense of any kind, at the very core of yourself, this is your True Self.
- It is not the Self you yet experience, and until you do experience it, do not pretend that this is your experience.
- But hold in true awareness that this is your Self.
- You are a person, but you are greater than a person.
- How can you be unworthy of God’s love if that is what you are?
- Your Teachers surround you and provide that which you are so that you may experience yourself and your true relationship with life.
IN YOUR
TWO PRACTICE PERIODS TODAY, practice receiving once again the love, support and
direction of your Teachers, and if any thought obstructs this, if any feeling
prevents this, remind yourself of your great worthiness.
- You are worthy not for what you have done in the world.
- You are worthy for who you are, where you have come from and where you are going.
- Your life may be filled with errors and mistakes, wrong decisions and poor choices, but you have still come from your Ancient Home to which you will return.
- Your worthiness in the sight of God is unchanged.
- There is only great effort to repair your errors so that you may experience your True Self so that it may be rendered into the world.
- THEREFORE, IN YOUR PRACTICE PERIODS, practice receptivity and experiencing true worthiness.
- Let no thought conflict with the greatest truth of life.
A few useful points to
comprehend and let apply.

Journal
2nd Time Step 24. This is for those who have completed Steps once. Doing Steps
with only the texts, messages and your life experience, including what you may
have studied and practiced is your journey. I’m showing my first year Step
comments after the Step, so as not to influence you in advance. It is a
wilderness trek to be left to your own wits, but then you can also listen more
closely for guides, angels and teachers, always first saying: “I surround and
protect myself with the Love and the Grace of God.” Thankfully, I was taught
this practice in 1989.
P.S. If you’ve some interest due to this or other
Steps, you should go to the beginning blog post. From here you will learn about Steps to Knowledge
and can begin it on the day that makes sense; then progress as needed. You can
use the posts on this blog as a companion if it helps. They will remain in
order in the archives - one post per Step.
Often it takes 18 months to get through the Steps
once. For this blog, the pace is one-a-day, but it really makes no difference
how fast you do it, only that you begin, persist and repeat. Posts here provide
a trail that may let you have a virtual companion when and if you want one. One
may have to study alone, as I did in the beginning. There are other Steps
students blogging their experience and you might find a person more like you as
a companion, or use a number of such Steps journeys. There are options as well
through the Free School of the New Message.
