| With Knowledge all things become clear. Step 263 |
WHY ENGAGE IN ADDITIONAL SPECULATION? Why project further
blame or judgment? Why make your life more complex and more frustrating when
all things become clear with Knowledge? Why make your mind more complex? Why
attribute more and more qualities to yourself? Why invent new levels of thinking
and being when with Knowledge all things become clear? Why project more and
more distinctions upon the world? Why make the world seem so hopelessly complex
and meaningless when with Knowledge all things become clear?
YOU HAVE ONLY TO LEARN TO BE WITH KNOWLEDGE to see
what Knowledge sees, to do what Knowledge does and to have the peace of Knowledge,
the grace of Knowledge, the inclusion of Knowledge, the relationships of
Knowledge and all that Knowledge contains, which the world cannot possibly
duplicate.
IN YOUR TWO DEEPER PRACTICES return to being with
Knowledge, in humility and simplicity, in stillness and in silence. Breathe Knowledge
in. Allow Knowledge to enter and fill your body. Allow yourself to be immersed
in Knowledge and all things will become clear, for with Knowledge all things
become clear and all questions disappear.
PRACTICE 263: Two 30-minute practice periods.
This is not an easy Step. Is it a shattering as
depicted here?
In the journal I was covering many bases this day,
but do spend time on the Step.

They
don't have the money to do what they want to do. As an entrepreneurial local
government – I've gotten as far as I can.
People
must learn to maintain their regional/local assets first – and to maintain
that. Local assets become regional in support of the fabric. The built
environment is an overlay.
Step
262 – "How can I judge myself when I do not know who I am."
oops
– I'm a soul in the body and this is strange.
It
is a time and materials universe?

a.m. Practice #1 continued. What is my true ambition? To bring Knowledge into
the world. Is that really purpose? I'm not very good at it. My foundation in
the world for being a Knowledge operative appears weak. Is this because I do
not know fully yet who I am? That would be an emotional save. It is the feeling
of being a stranger in a
strange land.

a.m. April 5, 2000 "How can I judge myself when I do not know who I
am." The easiest and truest answer must be that I cannot judge myself nor
can anyone else. Just like ACIM – no judgment – only discernment – but how do
we know we are discerning in a useful way? I sent out a message for help to
Ellen and Joyce. I'm deep in confusion from the lessons, but understand that is
the path.
Sarah
was angry at 9 p.m. because Cindy took her room and her memories. We got
outside and in the car for a drive – first to truth, then to the Skyline Drive
because she wouldn't let go. The truth was she didn't like Cindy and was mad at
me for marrying Cindy – just like most step-parents.
I
told her I couldn't keep Cindy from the room, but also - no one could take her
memories. We headed up the Skyline Drive. I said I wouldn't turn around until
she dealt with her anger.
Anger
is true feeling – I said (S2K) and it has to be dealt with. Since she was
really mad at me, I said to drop the middleman – Cindy – and complain to me
directly –

Make note of the call: I sent out a message for help to Ellen and Joyce.
I'm deep in confusion from the lessons, but understand that is the path.
Your results are, no doubt, different. Let us
continue.

Step 262. 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.
