a.m. Tuesday, November 21, 2000
I
spent time tonight looking at the ICMA stock funds and buying for the future –
10 years hence.
As I
stood in the bathroom, brushing my teeth, I felt and saw the regional options;
that coming to me as a purpose, perhaps the purpose in this life for me.
So
many obstacles, my lack of focus/discipline; Cindy's …dishes and housework;
Sarah calling to say Mary Ellen wasn't paying for AOL anymore.
Trying
to get in the Artist mode.
8:54
a.m. I see the value of local, see the value of regional – state, national.
Boundaries give focus. Perspective/slant/viewpoint – trying to understand the
flow within which I awakened. The naturally good, kind, wonderful souls are the
most amazing – those with the nurture & nature to contribute always. I've
had no vision of what I should be. Not teaching answers, but seeking answers.
The
U.S. will always need wheels. What will be the fuel that propels the wheels,
makes them turn?
9:05
a.m. Virginia does not understand the value of its regions/
9:00
p.m. Working free for the universe. The office will never be caught up. …
Time
to meditate. Step 94 – "My freedom is to Find my purpose."
Lacking
the overall PDC responsibilities, I'm free to find my purpose and fulfill it.
When
life has these mundane dramas, how can purpose be involved at all? Isn’t
purpose supposed to be great and heroic? Even if the small can be great,
somethings are really too small. Much more needs to be known.
Repeating
from the year one blog: In this year, 2015 – April 5 is Easter Sunday, a holy
and blessed day. From the cross, Jesus said: “Father, forgive them; for they
know not what they do.” Luke 23:34 King James Version (KJV). It seems to have
to applied to those who crucified him, but I came to feel it applied to all of
us here on earth – “We know not what we do.” Steps to Knowledge is a means of
learning what we do. Let us honor the good people on this day and let us
continue our practice so we might “know what we do.”

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.
