x2 Step 142 - I will be consistent today. Journal – Step 141



Today: Step 142 - I will be consistent today. (MP3)

“I will be consistent today.” Step 142

PRACTICE CONSISTENTLY TODAY regardless of what is occurring within you or without. This consistency represents a Greater Power within you. This consistency will give you certainty and stability in the face of all disturbances, in the face of all external events and in the face of all emotional states within you. This consistency will stabilize and balance you and in time will bring everything into right order within you. You practice consistency so that you may learn it and experience it. As you do this, it will bestow upon you the empowerment that you will need to be a contributor in this world.

THEREFORE, TODAY PRACTICE CONSISTENTLY. Practice upon the hour, reminding yourself to be consistent. In your two meditations, practice keeping your mind steady and focused, allowing it to settle into itself so that it may experience its own nature. Do not repress what is occurring within you. Do not control what is occurring without. Simply maintain consistency, and all things will find a right balance and relationship to this. Thus, you are bringing forth Knowledge into the world, for Knowledge is entirely consistent. This will render you a person of great presence and power. Others will come to experience your consistency in time as it is more fully received by you and more fully developed. They will find refuge in your consistency, and this will remind them of their purpose as well, which waits to be discovered.

PRACTICE 142: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly practice.

Note:You practice consistency so that you may learn it and experience it. As you do this, it will bestow upon you the empowerment that you will need to be a contributor in this world.”

Picture: The built environment of the city, here a bridge across the Chicago River, is engineered to be consistent. Wherever we go each day, be it to work or school, or at home caring for others, we need to be reliable; consistent. We can see ourselves in that picture, benefiting from the workers throughout history who have given us what is good and useful today.

9:40 a.m. Rising now. Where in the world am I? Starting out mind/body – a notch below spirit. That re-connect is needed, for it doesn't keep. If it did, I wouldn't be here. Go into the realm, at least to the edge so I feel/know about the greater side, as opposed to lower life options here manifestation. There is perhaps a Spiritual weather map– the spiritologists, with a Doppler radar, could map the moods and mood density of the collective soul, and it would show like the weather pattern. The ultimate pollster gauges mood and spirituality of people. But, where in my work am I?

The body is whole. Its areas are local and regional. This definition I found in a medical dictionary. As below, so above.

From the human centered – the world is defined outward. It learns of boundaries and may use them if socialized. There usually is a physical family for the new soul – though it may be stressed, dysfunctional and the home/nest provided does not/cannot protect and nurture. Some children are abandoned emotionally, physically.

[regional template to put over problem/issue/goals to create/encourage alignment]

– may end up with the State or in the street, not being socialized.

[teaching 4 pillars – they bundle into a pedestal]

From a warm house, full stomach, it is easier to be spiritual in overview.

For those souls in body who have never had love, peace, warmth – even trauma in the womb, I wonder – is the soul itself damaged – creating ghosts – fragments, or souls in biological units that learn slowly.

This may be the case for many, but my path is/or feels more awakening and my life simplifies and gets organized by global vision. My youthful goal to save the world has become format the world in scaled regions. – Like a "view" in a Microsoft program.

9:40 a.m. My mind has been all over as I ate my peanut butter and jam breakfast. Thought – "Think globally, act regionally" might work, but – the change is too subtle.

 Solar sys

 Think globally LOCAL PLANET act locally REGIONALLY
[a repeat of the idea from April 1, 2000 – it will grow]

A networked planet of many nodes & hubs – no central authority that is not democratic/representative of the community users/servers.

A regional community approach is to bring in more minds – two heads better than one. People power needed to be more "creative" and thus more competitive in order to maintain wealth and be able to support local community.

This is temporary, to consider it permanent would be to buy into an illusion, the illusion. What is permanent – it appears to be the soul – all souls – the Oversoul creater.

Spirit can make the manifest better through incarnate souls which become awake and contribute. Those contributions can be, have been rejected by many, but not all…so humanity has progressed – but we lag apparently.

11 a.m. So, I am, and am willing to learn/grow – become more disciplined & organized.

I'm exhausted, where have I been?

11:45 a.m. Practice #1 completed – 141 "I will be confident this day." A ride in and out of stillness as the current issues of my life – all the stressed relationships – came to the surface, stirred around – until I return to the non-temporary still center.

12:40 p.m. Alignment of regions – delimited regions – the state agencies favor regional cooperation, but not defined regions other than how they defined regions themselves.

The call for regional cooperation w/o defined boundaries creates confusion for the local governments, since there are so many permutations for regions. The simple standard used by Virginia created good regions. Alignment of state agency policy by region is what creates effectiveness.

> But, my focus has to be GCW - I – the chapter on freedom – to feel more of that.

Greater Community – a future oriented spirituality.

10:34 p.m. In my Study – following the Steps – and willingly so…but still indolent about myself in the world. I may yet be possessed by knowledge and take on God is my freedom. Would I abandon David & Sarah – not that they aren't already abandon some – by me.

Preparing for the Future – GCW I –

Spiritual Truths –

We hide from God here on earth – I was hiding, but now am found – and pulled home to God.

12:15 a.m. January 8, 2001 – GCW – I, S2K – Feeling what I read, what I know, being willing to go home – looking for the next step…to be vital – with meaning, purpose, direction – free to do so…keeping spiritual freedom alive on earth.

Amen & Amen

While the Steps focus, the more one has studied and applied the teachings and their perspective to the world, the more self-reflection may take place. The journal is one place this can be done. Let us continue.

Note: 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.
