I do
not know what I want for the world. Step 67
|
YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
FOR THE WORLD because you do not understand the world, and you have not yet
been able to see its predicament. When you realize that you do not know what
you want for the world, this gives you the motivation and the opportunity to
observe the world, to look again. This is essential for your understanding. It
is essential for your well-being. The world will only disappoint you if it is
misunderstood. You will only disappoint yourself if you are misunderstood. You
have come to the world to work. Recognize the opportunity that this gives to
you.
PRACTICE UPON THE HOUR TODAY IN
ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. Say the affirmation and then attempt to realize its truth.
You do not know what you want for the world, but your Knowledge knows what it
must contribute. Without your attempting to replace Knowledge with your own
designs for the world, Knowledge will express itself freely without
obstruction, and you and the world will be the great beneficiaries of its
gifts.
PRACTICE
67: Hourly practice.
Pay attention to this,
perhaps: "You do not know what you want for the
world, but your Knowledge knows what it must contribute."
Picture: A
Mercedes prepares to turn the corner across from a building with an “occupy”
sign in Milan, Italy. Wealth and fairness for those in the world?
These
are important Steps, but that is a little hard to recognize initially. No
journal entry in 1999, but some notation in the book:
Note in blue, meaning year two, "some expectations has" is
modified to be "many expectations have." Recognition leads to float
time, like wandering around in the desert perhaps. The complaint I had this day was Child Labor laws and Spirit labor laws. What can one do with that?
Let us keep at it. It was not promised that this be easy.

Journal
2nd Time Step 66.
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.
