Today I will seek the experience of true purpose in
life. Step 131
|
THEREFORE, TODAY CONCENTRATE ON PURPOSE and not on relationship.
The greater your experience of purpose, the greater your comprehension of
relationship. Though you will see that people come together for enjoyment and
stimulation, there is a far greater component in their meeting. Few people
recognize this, but it is given you to recognize this through practice and
experience. You can be certain that if you are not trying to fit people into
your own idea of purpose, you will be opening yourself to the genuine
experience of purpose itself. As you begin to observe yourself objectively, you
will begin to see the manifestations of your own will in contrast to Knowledge,
and this will be very essential for your learning.
TODAY REMIND YOURSELF UPON THE HOUR of your intent
to realize your purpose. Let today be a step in that direction—a step that will
save you years and years of time, a step that will advance you forever towards
your goal of Knowledge, for Knowledge is drawing you. In your two deeper
practice periods, allow Knowledge to draw you. Feel the greater attraction
within you, which you will naturally feel if you are not preoccupied with
little things.
PRACTICE 131: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.
Picture: Shouldn’t the picture for this Step be of beautiful
clouds, a bright sunrise or at least something more uplifting than a nondescript
person walking up a steep hill in a generic city? For most of the people in the
unglamorous world, contemplating “true purpose” may occur in such mundane
surroundings with themselves appearing equally mundane.

A.M. Wednesday, Nov 24, 1999 - Movement like the demolition derby, to keep
moving, movement - towards.
8:20
A.M. Ready to go to work, but first WGC-I Service. GC is making sense to me and
helping me relate to the world. There remain other messages & viewpoints.
but S2K & GCW is what my focus shall be. It is all movement - that, in sync
with that of others.

p.m. Home to meditate, then go to Winchester. ...
10:50
p.m. I am sad for ... (my children)
I
am here to serve. I feel that, but perhaps Knowledge has come too late for me.
Yes this world is all temporary, but there is good here. I could be better. Why
are there so many souls here?
More questions. Let us
continue.

Step 130. 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
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.
