Step 23 I am loved, surrounded and supported by the Teachers of God.

Step 23 "I am loved, surrounded and supported by the Teachers of God.

"THE TRUTH OF THIS WILL BECOME SELF-EVIDENT as you prepare, but for now it may require great faith. This idea may challenge existing ideas or beliefs, but it is true nonetheless. God’s Plan is invisible and recognized by very few because very few have the openness of mind and the quality of attention that will allow them to see what is obviously occurring around them, which at this point is not obvious to them at all. Your Teachers love you, surround you and support you, for you are emerging into Knowledge. This calls them to your side. You are one of the few who has the promise and the opportunity to emerge from the sleep of your own imagination into the grace of Reality." An extension of the previous step, yet I myself have had a few days off from my studies, and here we are right back where I left off. :)

"THEREFORE, IN YOUR TWO PRACTICE PERIODS TODAY, feel this love, support and direction. It is a feeling. It is not ideas. It is a feeling. It is something you must feel. Love is something you must feel to know. You are indeed loved, surrounded and supported by your Teachers, and you are very worthy of their great gift to you.

Practice 23: Two 15-minute practice periods." I love this affirmation at the end: I am very worthy of their gift! This has always been difficult for me personally, as I've been told often how unworthy I am. Having always been sensitive, even the casual cold shoulders have held weight for me in my relationships, so this affirmation of worth is so valuable to me, personally.
