Today: Step 193 - I shall listen to others without judgment today. (MP3)

 

“I shall listen to others without judgment today.” Step 193

 

LISTEN TO OTHERS WITHOUT JUDGMENT TODAY. Knowledge will indicate if what they are saying is of value or not. It will do this without any form of condemnation, without any comparison and without any evaluation on your part whatsoever. Knowledge is attracted to Knowledge, and it is not attracted to that which is not Knowledge. Therefore, you may find your rightful way without contributing judgment or hatred upon the world. This is your Inner Guidance system serving you. It will lead you where you need to be and will lead you to contribute where your contributions can be of the greatest value. If you listen to others without judgment, you will hear both Knowledge and the call for Knowledge. You will see where Knowledge exists and where it has been denied. This is natural. You do not need to judge people to make this determination. It is simply known.

LISTEN TO OTHERS SO THAT YOU MAY EXPERIENCE yourself listening, for it is not your task to judge the world or to determine where and how your gifts should be given. It is your task to experience yourself in life and to allow Knowledge to arise, for Knowledge will give itself when and where it is appropriate. This allows you to have peace, for you are not trying to control the world.

ALLOW YOUR PRACTICES TO BE DEEP. Practice upon the hour as before. Listen to others today so that you may experience yourself in relationship with them, so that their true message to you may be given and comprehended. This will affirm for you the presence of Knowledge and the need for Knowledge in the world all at once.

PRACTICE 193: Hourly practice.

Note: “Knowledge is attracted to Knowledge, and it is not attracted to that which is not Knowledge. Therefore, you may find your rightful way without contributing judgment or hatred upon the world. This is your Inner Guidance system serving you.”

Today’s picture could be a yard full of junk, but listening without judgement, we might find it a treasure trove of “Great Waves” supplies.

From the journal:  Step 192 - I will not neglect small things today.

6:55 a.m. Tuesday, February 27, 2001. Where am I? In search of focus? The VAPA list – regionalism – States – being states – did not care about municipal services. They wanted settlement. They gave land-use control to localities. To moderate that in a regional environment – is a function of new coordination that has to be grown.

8:15 a.m. Today I will not neglect small things. I like my life. It is small in this world. I've often been uneasy in the world. So many seem totally confident – I'm uncertain. K – S2K – GCW puts it in perspective. I don't want to minimize my life or the lives of others, but a broad perspective can do that.

5:55 p.m. Got home @ 5 p.m. Went to Dr. Kanal – Eye infection. I'm slow and tired.

What does my Knowledge care about? I'm fed regions ideas all the time. My outside concerns are money, stock market, job – Knowledge has little concern about that. The water supply meeting today went well.

Time to do practice #2 – then get to some of those things – things I need to do.

Last year at this Step, I included the fact that, from time to time I like to play Mass Choir music. The one thing I’ sure of when listening to these groups is that they all love God.

Small things. 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.
