THIS AFFIRMATION YOU MAY FIND VERY ACCEPTABLE because of your immediate need for it in your current circumstances, but the affirmation is far deeper than you may at first realize. You have far more strength than you have claimed, but it cannot be fully realized until its application is directed in a manner that truly regenerates you and brings forth your true abilities.

HOW CAN YOU APPROACH YOUR STRENGTH when you feel weak and helpless, when you feel unworthy, if you are burdened by guilt or confusion or in anger blame others for your own apparent failures? To claim your strength means to release all that holds you back. You do not release your obstacles by claiming they do not exist. You release them because you value something greater. Their obstruction is merely the sign that you must pass through them. Your own strength is then cultivated. You seek your strength, and you use it to find your strength. We wish for you to know your strength and to utilize it on your own behalf.

IN YOUR TWO MEDITATION PRACTICES TODAY, in silence and in stillness, attempt to feel your own strength. Do not let thoughts alone dissuade you, for fears and doubts are only thoughts—vaporous things that cross your mind like clouds. Beyond the clouds of your mind is the great universe of Knowledge. Therefore, do not let the clouds obstruct your view of the stars beyond.

Practice 44: Two 30-minute practice periods.

Step #44: I wish to Know my own Strength.

We Recognize our own Strength when we Realize that our own Life is Created by ourselves, every detail of it. When we See that circumstances are of our own Creation and we the Creators of those circumstance are Greater than them.
Which is to Realize that: "I and my Father Are One, but my Father is Greater than I."
Strength is not being rich as Strength is not being poor. Strength is to Recognize the One Power that Creates richness as well as poorness. Is the Realization of being One with that Power and Recognizing that
you always were and always will be. The man that unconsciously Creates riches is as confused as the man who unconsciously Creates poverty.
To raise above both of those is to Recognize the One Power by which both are Created and by which everything else was, is and will be Created.
