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.

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.
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.

Journal
2nd Time Step 51. 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 my first year 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.
