TODAY’S INVOCATION SPEAKS OF THE POWER OF STILLNESS within
your mind and the power that the stillness within your mind will have within
the world. Allow your invocation to be recited upon the hour, with great
reverence. Allow the mystery of your life now to unfold before you so that you
may behold it and carry it with you in your adventure in the world.
IN YOUR TWO DEEPER PRACTICE PERIODS repeat today’s
invocation and once again enter the depth of stillness, giving yourself
completely to your practice. Upon completion of your practice, repeat today’s
idea once again. Allow yourself to feel the presence that is with you as you do
this, for your Ancient Home abides with you as you abide within the world. The
ancient memory of your Home and the memory of all true relationships that you
have reclaimed thus far in your entire evolution are thus remembered with
today’s idea. For in stillness all things can be known, and all things that are
known will reveal themselves to you.
PRACTICE 297: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.

p.m. An interesting day. Marcia M... interviewed me about COG leadership –
I've more to say – she taped it, so I'll have something to work from in my own
writing.
Dad
is up and walking. Spent time on the phone with Mom. Diane called in the a.m., but I couldn't call Mom @ the hospital because of the interview. I'm very busy
– thank God my hours can be made flexible.

everything. Communication – or the illusion of communication?
Nasi Novare Coram is the first phrase of Invocative Language we learn in Steps. The link goes to the New
Message Wiki which provides an overview and explanation of this and other
phrases, many of which will be introduced in this series of Steps. 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.
