Today: Step 76 - Today I will not judge another. (MP3) Journal - Step 75

| Today I will not judge another. Step 76 |
WITHOUT
JUDGMENT YOU CAN SEE. Without judgment you can learn. Without judgment your
mind becomes open. Without judgment you understand yourself. Without judgment
you can understand another.
UPON
EACH HOUR TODAY, repeat this statement as you witness yourself and the world
around you. Repeat this statement and feel its impact. Release your judgments
for a few moments, and then feel the contrast and the experience that this will
provide for you. Do not judge another today. Allow others to reveal themselves
to you. Without judgment you will not suffer under your own crown of thorns.
Without judgment you will feel the presence of your Teachers assisting you.
ALLOW
YOUR HOURLY PRACTICES TO BE CONSISTENT. If an hour is missed, forgive yourself
and rededicate yourself. Errors are to teach you, strengthen you and show you
what you need to learn.
REGARDLESS
OF WHAT ANOTHER IS DOING, regardless of how he or she may offend your
sensitivities, your ideas or your values, do not judge another today.
PRACTICE
76: Hourly practice.

Sometimes, the Bible is considered a source of judgmental thinking.
Listening to one’s Self, the True Self – hard to
imagine that this element of me exists, so I do listen. What I wrote that day
relates to my still evolving work.

Next
week this time I'll be heading to Pennsylvania. I'd like to honor Howard… May
do a plaque.
Governance
and regions. There is plenty of governance, it's just not coordinated well. All
of the US is settled.
Responding
to global need – at the local level – they say either "we don't need
it," or to the State "give us the resources and will do it."
State/Fed
higher levels say we don't have all the resources to give you, why don't
you cooperate with your neighbors – here's here's a nickel
9:39
a.m. At work…going with the institutional flow. I'm using this work to learn.
10:05
p.m. After a walk…on the walk… – there is a governmental "economy of
scale" region – the PD and the market region at which the neighborhood,
locality, city, County is the center.
–
Regional community is a rural capacity building strategy
We
accept for the purpose of Steps, as beginning students, that the Step is
correct in saying what we must do and that the promise of recognizing the voice
of our True Self will happen again. In the past we may have heard it, but not
recognized it. 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.
