x2 Step 122 – Journal Step 121 - Today I am free to give.

Today: Step 122 - I give without loss today. (MP3)

I give without loss today. Step 122

WHAT YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO GIVE can only increase as you give it. It is not a physical thing that you give, though physical things can be given for good. It is not something that you can quantify, for you have no idea of its extent. You are giving strength and encouragement.

TODAY IN YOUR TWO PRACTICE PERIODS, continue your giving to others. This is an active form of prayer. Think not that the power of it is not received by those whom you have concentrated upon. Remember today not to try to determine the outcome of their dilemma or their need, but only encourage and empower them to carry forth with their own abilities. You wish to stimulate Knowledge within them as Knowledge is now being stimulated within  you. This giving, then, will not have an expectation of a return, for you are giving that which enables others to be strong in their lives. You are not in a position to judge the outcome, for the outcome of your giving will not be revealed until later when the gift has been accepted and has found its place in the receiver. Therefore, give freely without expectation and give in order to experience the power of your gift this day.

PRACTICE 122: Two 30-minute practice periods.

8:12 a.m. The creator is my refuge.

To the Society – If you go to UFO events, people might agree that action is needed, but several years of spiritual development is an unlikely choice.

If you go out to those on a spiritual path and talk about a greater God, or need for mental unity among all humans, teach abduction defense – with a reason – then we can attract others.

11:05 p.m. Where am I? Battered – things not going my way in the main. I'm still alive, breathing – but crunched.

Practice #2 The lesson says "your life is becoming simple and your needs are being met."

I don't know that I wanted my life to become simple.

Thirteen hours between the first note and the last. Seems to have been a bumpy day. In the picture chose for this Step, the water fountain gives me the sense of “free to give.” 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.
