Step One Hundred and Forty-One


Step 141. I Will Be Confident This Day.
Today be confident that you are in preparation on the path to Knowledge. Be confident today that Knowledge is with you and abides with you and that you are now learning step by step to receive its grace, its certainty and its direction. Be confident this day that you are born of God’s love and that your life in this world, this brief visit here, is but an opportunity to re-establish your true identity in a place where it has been forgotten. Be confident today that the efforts that you are now making on your own behalf will lead you to the great goal that you have come here to seek because this preparation comes from your Ancient Home to serve you while you are in the world, for you have come to the world to serve.

Repeat this affirmation upon the hour and consider it in light of all things that happen today. In your two longer practice periods, repeat the statement and then allow yourself to enter peace and stillness. Allow your confidence to dispel fear, doubt and anxiety. Support your efforts today, for they require your support on behalf of a greater certainty that you are now learning to receive.

Practice 141: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly practice.

May 18, 2013 Round One: "...your life in this world, this brief visit here, is but an opportunity to re-establish your true identity in a place where it has been forgotten."
I am taking this sentence as a guide to action and am nurturing confidence in my preparation on the path to Knowledge, understanding that my efforts will lead me ever forward toward the great goal I have come here to seek and the service I am to fulfill.
December 13, 2014 Round Two: I feel this confidence today. It is not just a word that holds no particular meaning, I know what it is talking about and I feel it. A perceptible shift has occurred in my consciousness; fear, doubt, and uncertainty are indeed falling away. I do not know what my goal is but I feel I am heading confidently in the right direction, I feel the strong presence of Knowledge within me, and I feel I am receiving its grace, its certainty, and its direction. This is good and beautiful.

 November 19, 2018 Round Three: I am to be confident that I am on the right path, receiving the grace, certainty and direction of Knowledge, that I am born of God’s love and my life in this world is an opportunity to re-establish my true identity. This preparation comes from my Ancient Home to serve me while I am in the world, for I have come to the world to serve. 

 I realize now why my perspective is so different from my husband's. He is still living fully in Separation, in a false dimension imposed by the world, that’s not what life is about. And how can God not exist if God is us and all we are made up of. God is not separate, God is the sum of all relationship. I get this now. I get Separation. That is why people see things so differently. I now see from a perspective of inclusion. I am not separate from God.

Step 317. I Need But Relinquish My Ambivalence To Know The Truth. How simple it is to know the truth when the truth is truly desired. How easy it is to recognize ambivalence and to see its devastating impact upon your life. How simple it is to see the evidence of ambivalence in the world around you and how it undermines the deeper inclinations of all who dwell here. Seek, then, escape from ambivalence, for this is confusion. Seek, then, escape from the burden of constant decision making and choice, for this is a burden. The man and woman of Knowledge need not burden themselves with constant deliberation of what they must do, how they must be, who they are and where they are going in life, for these things become known as each step is anticipated and taken. Thus, the great weight that you carry in the world is released from your shoulders. Thus, you begin to trust yourself and the world. Here peace is possible and assured even for those who are active in the world, for they ca

Step 312. There Are Greater Problems For Me To Solve In The World. Many of your personal problems will be resolved as you give yourself to a greater calling. Some of your personal problems you will need to attend to specifically, but even here you will find that their weight upon you will diminish as you enter into a greater arena of participation in life. Knowledge gives you greater things to do, but it does not overlook any detail of what you must accomplish. Therefore, small details and great details, small adjustments and great adjustments are all included. Nothing is left out. You yourself could not possibly balance your preparation in this respect, for you would not know how to establish your priorities between what is great and what is small. Your attempt to do so would merely push you deeper into confusion and frustration. Be grateful, then, that you have been spared from attempting the impossible for yourself, for what is real is given to you. What you must do is bec

Step 315. Today I Will Not Be Alone. Today do not be alone. Do not isolate yourself in your fear or in your negative imagination. Do not isolate yourself in your fantasies. Do not think you are alone, for this is a fantasy. Today do not be alone. Realize that those who are with you are not persuaded by your errors or dismayed by your failures, but recognize your true nature and your Knowledge. Those who are with you today love you without exception. Receive their love, for this will confirm that you are not alone, and this will confirm that you do not wish to be alone. Why else would you want to be alone except to hide your pain, your sense of failure and your sense of guilt? These things which are the result of your separation only isolate you further. Yet, today you are not alone. Therefore, choose not to be alone, and you will see that you have never been alone. Choose not to isolate yourself, and you will see that you are part of life already. Confirm this upon the hour a
