| 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 and realize again the many opportunities to consider this throughout
the day. In your deeper meditation practices, begin with the invocation of
today’s message. Then, enter into stillness and silence where there is no
separation. Allow yourself to receive the great gifts of love which are due you
and dispel any sense of inadequacy and unworthiness that are merely the residue
of your separate, imagined life. Today you are not alone. Therefore, there is hope
for the world.
PRACTICE 315: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.

that? Sirens? Not sleep is what I get – instead of "sleep". –
Not
much of an entry this day. It is the last work day of the fiscal year, so I was
probably very occupied with work this day. Tomorrow is a very long entry. I’ve
not yet transcribed it, but I see that is many pages. 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.
