Greetings All –
MANY OF YOUR PERSONAL PROBLEMS WILL BE RESOLVED as you
give yourself to a greater calling. Some of your personal problems you will
need to attend to specifically, but even here you will find that their weight
upon you will diminish as you enter into a greater arena of participation in
life. Knowledge gives you greater things to do, but it does not overlook any
detail of what you must accomplish. Therefore, small details and great details,
small adjustments and great adjustments are all included. Nothing is left out. You
yourself could not possibly balance your preparation in this respect, for you would
not know how to establish your priorities between what is great and what is
small. Your attempt to do so would merely push you deeper into confusion and
frustration.
BE GRATEFUL,THEN, THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SPARED from
attempting the impossible for yourself, for what is real is given to you. What
you must do is become a student and a vehicle for Knowledge. This will activate
all meaningful individual development and all meaningful individual education.
It will require more of you than you have required of yourself, and all that it
requires will be fulfilled and will yield its true promise for you.
UPON THE HOUR REMIND YOURSELF OF THIS and take
heart that a greater involvement is promised which will provide you escape from
your individual misery. In your deeper practice periods today, actively engage
your mind to review all of your small personal problems. Review all of the
things you think hold you back and all of the things you think you must resolve
for yourself. As you look at each one objectively, without denial, remember and
remind yourself that a greater calling is given you which will correct these
things or make their correction unnecessary. Remind yourself that Knowledge
will provide correction at all levels as your life becomes uniform and directed,
as your Knowledge begins to emerge and as your true sense of self begins to be
recognized and received.
PRACTICE 312: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.

P.S. At Step 312, we are two months from the end –
Step 365. 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.
