| I will not judge the world today. Step 60 |
WITHOUT YOUR JUDGMENTS,
Knowledge can indicate what you must do and what you must understand. Knowledge
represents a greater judgment, but it is a judgment that is very different from
your own, for it is not born of fear. It does not possess anger. It is always
meant to serve and to nourish. It is just, in that it gives true recognition to
every person’s current state without belittling their meaning or their destiny.
DO NOT JUDGE THE WORLD TODAY so
that you may see the world as it is. Do not judge the world today so that you
may accept the world as it is. Allow the world to be exactly as it is so that
you can recognize it. Once the world has been recognized, you will realize how
much it needs you and how much you will want to give to it. The world does not
need blame. It needs service. It needs truth. And above all, it needs
Knowledge.
EVERY HOUR TODAY, TAKE A MOMENT
and look at the world without judgment. Repeat the affirmation for today and
spend a moment looking at the world without judgment. Regardless of what
appearance you may see, whether it pleases you or displeases you, whether you
find it beautiful or ugly, whether you think it is worthy or unworthy, look at
it without judgment.

Journal
2nd Time Step 59. 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.
