| "Today I shall be patient with Knowledge." Step 116 |
TODAY I SHALL BE PATIENT
WITH KNOWLEDGE. BE PATIENT WITH KNOWLEDGE so that
you may follow Knowledge. Knowledge is
far more still than you are. It is far more powerful than you are. It is far
more certain than you are, and all of its actions are profound and meaningful. There
is only a contrast between you and Knowledge because you live in the self that
you have made for yourself, and you have temporarily lost your contact with Knowledge.
But Knowledge abides with you, for you can never leave it. It will always be
there to redeem you, to save you and to reclaim you unto itself, for it is your
True Self. Let not beliefs and assumptions masquerade as Knowledge. Allow your
mind to become increasingly quiet and still as you undertake the activities of
the day.
REPEAT THE IDEA UPON THE HOUR and in your two deep meditation
practices, allow yourself to enter the stillness and the certainty that
Knowledge possesses for you. In this way, your mind will resonate with the Mind
of the universe and you will begin to reclaim your ancient abilities and
ancient memories. Here the idea of Spiritual Family will begin to have meaning
for you, and you will realize that you have come into the world to serve.
PRACTICE 116: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.
From
the journal:
6:15
A.M. Tuesday, November 9, 1999 – being invisible – David in need of support.
Today I will listen to the power of Knowledge.
7:30?
I stayed in stillness longer – maybe an hour. I’m still and tired.
8:25
A.M. The world is speeding up and I am slowing down. There are more & more
transactions, yet re-simplification must take place constantly.
9:30
A.M. Knowledge is not speaking, therefore I should have not anxiety about my
life.
Power
causing pain – domination, power over others…> order yes… but how do I keep
my focus on the present so that I can do what I need to do? I might just be
here to live and take not heavy part among 6 billion souls.
6:30
p.m. Home - very tired. Lots of work. Knowledge “Go home.”
Well, what to make of this? Ups and downs of life. Let us continue.

Journal
second time x2 Step 116. 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.
