Step 52 - I am free to find the source of my Knowledge. Entry for Step 51 - Let me recognize my fears so that I may see the truth beyond them.



Greetings All -


Step 52 - I am free to find the source of my Knowledge.


THE SOURCE OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE EXISTS WITHIN YOU and beyond you as well.There is no distinction to the source of Knowledge where it exists, for it is everywhere. Your life has been saved because God has planted Knowledge within you. But you will not realize your salvation until Knowledge has been allowed to emerge and to bestow its gifts upon you. What other freedom is free except that which enables you to receive the gift of your true life? All other freedom is the freedom to be chaotic, the freedom to harm yourself. The great freedom is to find your Knowledge and to allow it to express itself through you.Today you are free to find the source of your Knowledge.

IN YOUR TWO PRACTICE PERIODS IN STILLNESS, receive the source of your Knowledge. Remind yourself that you are free to do this. Regardless of fear or anxiety, regardless of any sense of guilt or shame, allow yourself to receive the source of your Knowledge.You are free to receive the source of your Knowledge today. 

PRACTICE 52: Two 30-minute practice periods.

                                                                                                                
From the Journal:

As noted yesterday, when I did Step 51 on the first exercise listed in my journal 35 numbered fears. That took an hour. Later that day I added ten more for 45 total. All of them won't be listed here, just a few ... each followed by the affirmation.

1. I will be seen and know for this S2K study. The truth is beyond this specific fear.

2. I will let down the people that have come to depend upon me. The truth is beyond this specific fear.

3. I am not strong enough for this world. The truth is beyond this specific fear.
...
6.  I will fail to achieve in this life. The truth is beyond this specific fear. 
...

11. I fear that my food habits and poor exercise will cut short my life and my vision's work. The truth is beyond this specific fear.
...
15. I fear that this exercise will not get to my true mission or that such a thing exists. The truth is beyond this specific fear.
... 
22. I fear that the world I see is the real world and there is nothing beyond it. The truth is beyond this specific fear.
...
31. I fear that this life, my life, have absolutely no meaning.  The truth is beyond this specific fear.
...
37. I fear that, knowing I am limited will be an excuse for not doing anything. The truth is beyond this specific fear.
...
40. I fear that even after completing S2K I will still doubt myself. The truth is beyond this specific fear.
...
44. I fear that I can't even face myself with my true, deep fears. The truth is beyond this specific fear.

45. I fear that life stinks and I'll self-destruct out of apathy. The limits will get me - even though it is clear I'm less limited in my circumstances than most. I can change, but to what and why? The truth is beyond this specific fear.

I hope these are useful, if not entertaining, helping putting your own list into perspective. Introspection can feel brutal.
