Step One Hundred and Thirty-Nine


Step 139. I Have Come To The World To Serve.

You have come to the world to serve, but first you must receive. First, you must unlearn what you have taught yourself so that you may reclaim that which you have brought with you. This preparation is essential for your success and for your happiness as well. Do not think that through understanding alone you will be able to recognize and give your true gifts. Your participation is your preparation, for you are being prepared to participate in life. Thus, we draw you more and more into the mystery of life and the manifestation of life. In this way, you will be able to treat the mystery as mysterious with wonder and you will be able to treat the manifestation of life practically and with objectivity. With this, you will be able to be a bridge from your Ancient Home to the manifest world. Across this bridge the Wisdom of Knowledge may express itself, and you may find your greatest fulfillment.

Practice your RAHN meditation twice today with great depth and concentration, and remember your idea upon the hour so that you may utilize all occurrences today on your own behalf.

Practice 139: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly practice.

Here you will find pointers for getting started if this is your first encounter with this practice: Taking the Steps to Knowledge.

May 14, 2013 Round One: Understanding alone will not enable me to recognize and give my true gifts. This requires participation, actually doing and experiencing, rather than thinking and analyzing. Participating in life and being drawn more and more into the mystery of life is very appealing, it draws me, it entices me to keep going, to continue taking the journey step by step and trusting where it will lead me.

This seems to resonate well with the Inspiration I received today in my email, "To Climb the Mountain You Must Keep Going" from Wisdom from the Greater Community, Vol. II, Chapter 11 – Spiritual Practice, where it says: 
"Like walking across the long footbridge, if you keep taking steps and keep focused on your goal, you will reach the other side and you will spare yourself much anxiety and aggravation."
I like to think this is part of being a bridge from my Ancient Home to the manifest world.

December 10, 2014 Round Two: I had quality meditations today – really experiencing the bridge from my Ancient Home into the manifest world and utilizing the occurrences of today on my own behalf.  I am feeling a new grounding in my experience. A wonderful walk in the snowy woods topped off the day. A potentially emotional occurrence today did not throw me off balance, in fact I remained wonderfully calm and focused and stood my ground. I felt happy with myself for following a Knowledge-guided inclination and bringing clarity to the situation. I am gaining a clearer sense of how I have come to the world to serve. 

My camera has this neat thing where I can turn a photo into a painting.

 November 17, 2018 Round Three: I must unlearn what I have taught myself before (or what the world has taught me) so that I can reclaim what I have brought with me to give. I must participate in order to understand and be prepared to participate. I must treat the mystery of my life with wonder and the manifestation of life practically and objectively, so I can be a bridge from my Ancient Home to the manifest world. Across this bridge the Wisdom of Knowledge can express itself. I understand this and experience it in my life. I am preparing so that I can participate. I am participating as I can.

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 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

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
