Greetings All –
YOU DO GAIN STRENGTH FROM ALL WHO PRACTICE WITH YOU,
for every mind that attempts to engage itself with Knowledge strengthens all
other minds in doing so as well. In this, you cast your influence upon the world.
In this, all others who seek to serve a true purpose cast their influence upon
you. This counteracts the ignorant forces of the world. This counteracts the
destructive forces in the world. This casts its influence on all minds to begin
to awaken.
RECEIVE FAITH FROM TODAY’S IDEA, then, for faith it
will give you as you realize that your own application is so greatly
supplemented by the application of others. This will transcend any sense of
inadequacy that you may have. This will help you overcome any sense of ambivalence
regarding true preparation, for all other minds that are engaged in the
reclamation of Knowledge are available to assist you here and now.
THUS, GREATNESS IS WITH YOU, the greatness of
Knowledge and the greatness of all those who seek to reclaim Knowledge. With
them you share a true purpose, for your true purpose is to keep Knowledge alive
in the world. From Knowledge all things of good, whether they be of a spiritual or material nature, are bestowed
upon the races for whom they are intended.
UPON THE HOUR REPEAT TODAY’S IDEA, and in your
deeper practice periods attempt to receive the influence of all who are attempting
to reclaim Knowledge. Allow their gift to enter into your mind so that you may
experience true appreciation for life and begin to understand the meaning and
efficacy of your own efforts as a student of Knowledge.
PRACTICE 212: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.
What does this mean? On the day I did this Step,
February 12, 2000, I wrote on the Step page in my book:
“Knowledge: The Spiritual Inter Galactic Internet
that connects family.” Trying to put in common terms what I’m hearing in the
message.
From the Journal:
Because I’d made reference to a Beatles tune on
this day, I’ve proved a YouTube link. Also a link for the Learning Organization
Dialogue.

a.m. Saturday, February 12, 2000 – Dad's birthday is the 16th. I'm up to
continue S2K. I had a dream where David's purpose was his two children.

regions – regions empower
7:26
a.m. – 211 – "I have great friends beyond this world." In stillness a
connection and realization that regions and cooperation are issues everywhere.

and Everywhere"

responded to my LO post – [Learning-Org Dialog on Learning
Organizations]

and perspective – will not be sustained.

governments are intentional communities – they were chartered to do and be some-thing.

PDC's are chartered as well – but the intent was weak because they didn't know
what it was to do for them –
Staff/me
– have held it together for them until they taken ownership.
Let's
review the intent – but goal – my vision is that they see themselves as an
intentional community – that they in fact are.
LTWK – and S2K have given me the
tools/perspective I was seeking. It is proof that… ?
As
the PDC names go their own way, we must not lose sight of the Planning District

Let us continue. We are building a greater
perspective on the world, the universe and life at many scales.

P.S. At Step 212, we are into Part Two of Steps, so
if you’ve found this and find some appeal in this or other Steps, you should
really go to the beginning blog post. From here you learn about Steps to Knowledge and
can begin it on the day that makes sense and 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 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.
