| “I will feel Knowledge today.” Step 163 |
FEEL THE ABIDING
QUALITY OF KNOWLEDGE, which is always available to you beyond your thoughts and
self-preoccupations. Upon the hour, feel Knowledge today. Repeat the idea for
the day and take a moment to feel its presence. The presence of Knowledge is
something you can take with you everywhere you go, into each encounter, into
each circumstance. It is appropriate everywhere. In this, you will be able to
see each circumstance and event. You will be able to hear. You will be able to
give. You will be able to comprehend. This stability is something the world
greatly needs, and you who are rich with Knowledge have this to give.
FEEL
KNOWLEDGE THIS DAY IN YOUR DEEPER PRACTICE PERIODS. Give yourself to this, for
this is your gift to God and to the world. Let this day be a day of
strengthening and a day of confirmation. Let not any small failure today
dissuade you from your greater task. Realize that all setbacks can only stop
you in your progress, and you need only step forward to continue. The response
to any failure, then, great or small, is simply the decision to continue. For
you need only follow the steps that are given here to achieve the results of
this preparation for you. How simple is the path to Knowledge. How clear is its
way when you follow its provision step by step.
PRACTICE
163: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly practice.
May the learning continue, Step by Step.
Yesterday: Step
162 - I will not be afraid today.
From
the journal:
December 26, 1999 (continued)
1:09 p.m. Done with Chapel. My first visit in many
months. Good to meet people. The circle of song and prayer reminded me of the
Christmas card from Marshall. It is a warm image of people dancing in a circle
around a fire – arms encircled like a Greek dance – with the Unseen Ones
looming as silhouettes.
I choose to be alert.
– Amen & Amen
4:58 p.m. Home again. Trying to keep it simple. …
Now Practice #2. I’d mentioned S2K at the Chapel, but I’m not in a position to
teach it – because I’ve not learned it.
Right now the grass is high and the living is easy.
The Millennium has not turned fearful as some projected. I too was concerned –
I’m positive – but not as much as others. Prudent – in my own wacky way.
There was a lot of fear around Y2K, more so than 2012, but prior to
January 1, 2000, when a computer chip needed to know it was a new century,
changes had been made. As I reflected on this Step today in my journal I wrote:
“Since
1999 I’ve made good progress on this Step.” You will have this same
experience in time.

Step 163. This is for those who have completed Steps
once. Doing Steps with only the texts, messages and your life experience,
including what you may have studied and practiced is your journey. I’m showing
Step comments after the Step, so as not to influence you in advance. It is a
wilderness trek to be left to your own wits, but then you can also listen more
closely for guides, angels and teachers, always first saying: “I surround and
protect myself with the Love and the Grace of God.” Thankfully, I was taught
this practice in 1989.
P.S. 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.
