x2 Step 74 – Journal Step 73 - I will allow my errors to teach me.

Today: Step 74 - Peace abides with me today. (MP3)

Peace abides with me today. Step 74

TODAY PEACE ABIDES WITH YOU. Abide with peace and receive its blessings. Come to peace with all that troubles you. Come with your heavy burden. Come not seeking answers. Come not seeking understanding. Come seeking its blessings. Peace cannot intervene into a life of conflict, but you can enter into a life of peace. You come to peace, which is waiting for you, and in this your burdens will be release

IN YOUR TWO LONG PRACTICE PERIODS TODAY, practice, in stillness, receiving peace. Allow yourself to have this gift, and if any thought comes to dissuade you, remind yourself of your great worth—the worth of your Knowledge and the worth of your Self. Know now that you are willing to learn from your errors and that you need not identify with them but use them only as a valuable resource for your development, for such they can become for you.

PRACTICE, THEN, RECEIVING. Open a little further today. Set all things aside that preoccupy you for later consideration if necessary. Peace abides with you today. Today abide with peace.

PRACTICE 74: Two 30-minute practice periods.

– My work is here.

Did my errors teach me this day? No record in the journal, but this thought is quite important as we seek to understand why we experience the world as we do. Surviving mistakes is a major skill in life, one that is under appreciated.

Viewing some errors give both a sense of pain and one of relief. I'm thankful that didn't happen to me and I don't have to explain it - however that might 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.
