You do not know what you want for the world because you do not understand the world, and you have not yet been able to see its predicament. When you realize that you do not know what you want for the world, this gives you the motivation and the opportunity to observe the world, to look again. This is essential for your understanding. It is essential for your well-being. The world will only disappoint you if it is misunderstood. You will only disappoint yourself if you are misunderstood. You have come to the world to work. Recognize the opportunity that this gives to you.

Practice upon the hour today in all circumstances. Say the affirmation and then attempt to realize its truth. You do not know what you want for the world, but your Knowledge knows what it must contribute. Without your attempting to replace Knowledge with your own designs for the world, Knowledge will express itself freely without obstruction, and you and the world will be the great beneficiaries of its gifts.
