Today we begin our fifth review period. The review introduction says, “This time we are ready to give more effort and more time to what we undertake … that we may go on again more certain, more sincere, with faith upheld more surely.”
There is a beautiful prayer in the review introduction, one you may want to read at the beginning of each day of this review period:
Steady our feet, our Father. Let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no words to give to You. We would but listen to Your Word, and make it ours. Lead our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a way he does not understand. Yet does he follow, sure that he is safe because his father leads the way for him.
So do we bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You will raise us up. If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. We wander off, but You will not forget to call us back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we accept the Word You offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have given us.
And then we are asked to contemplate this thought as we review lessons 151-170:
God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
Here is my recommendation for this review:
- Begin each day with the prayer above. Let yourself feel how much you want your practice to be individually guided from within.
- Spend a few minutes with the day’s review lesson, silently being with the words for that day’s review, and then feel for what you are to do next. A few possibilities are:
- You may feel to contemplate the review lesson and write what comes to you during contemplation.
- You may feel to review the tips from the lessons that are reviewed on that day.
- You may feel to practice self-inquiry through journaling regarding some thoughts in your mind.
- You may feel to go directly into awareness-watching-awareness meditation.
- You may have a feeling to practice the review lesson in some specific way throughout your day.
Trust whatever comes to you. Remember you have prayed for guidance to lead your practice. Remember that guidance is always individualized to fit each person perfectly, and then trust the guidance that comes to you each day of this review period.
For your convenience, I will provide links to my tips for each lesson that is reviewed throughout this review period.
“Let us raise our hearts from dust to life” as we let intuition guide our individual practice throughout this review period.
And now for Review Lesson 171:
God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
(151) All things are echoes of the Voice for God.
God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
(152) The power of decision is my own.
God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
