| Today I want to hear the truth. Step 17 |
THE
DESIRE TO HEAR THE TRUTH is something that is both a process and the result of
true preparation. Developing the ability to hear and the desire to hear will
yield to you that which you seek. The truth is utterly beneficial to you, but
at first it can be quite shocking and disappointing to your other plans and
goals. This you must risk if you wish to have the certainty and the empowerment
that the truth will bring to you. The truth always brings resolution of
conflict, always provides an experience of self, always gives you a sense of
current reality and always provides direction for you to move forward.
TODAY,
IN YOUR THREE 15-MINUTE PRACTICE PERIODS, practice listening to the truth,
trying to listen beyond the mind and emotions. Again do not be concerned if all
you hear is the rushing about of your own thoughts. Remember, you are
developing listening. That is the most important thing. Like exercising a
muscle in the body, you are exercising the faculty of mind called listening.
Therefore, this day practice listening, taking these practice periods to devote
yourself so that you may feel the truth arising within you.

What is the motivation for this practice? “Most
of what your True Self communicates to you - you cannot yet hear, but in time
you will learn to hear as your mind becomes still and as you develop the
necessary refinement of listening and discernment.”
We want to hear? Let us continue.
