| Today I will listen to the power of Knowledge. Step 115 |
TODAY
LISTEN TO THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE. It requires your attention. It requires your
desire. It requires the relinquishment of things which preoccupy and concern
you, things you cannot resolve on your own. Listen to Knowledge today so that
it may comfort you and abide with you. In its silence, you will find solid
reassurance and confidence as well. For if Knowledge is silent, you need not
have anxiety about your life, and if Knowledge speaks, you need only follow so
that you may learn the power of Knowledge for you.
YOU
BECOME STILL BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE IS STILL. You become capable of action because
Knowledge is capable of action. You learn to speak with simplicity because
Knowledge speaks with simplicity. You learn to be at ease because Knowledge is
at ease. You learn to give because Knowledge gives. It is to re-engage you in
relationship with your Knowledge that you are now engaged in this program of
development.
UPON
THE HOUR TODAY, remind yourself to listen to Knowledge and take a moment to do
so in whatever circumstance you find yourself. Your first activity in listening
is stillness. Practice this in greater depth in your two meditation practices
today, where you practice stillness and receptivity because you wish to listen
to Knowledge today.
PRACTICE
115: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly practice.
Note about Knowledge: “It requires your attention. It
requires your desire.”

7:30
a.m. It is all disappearing. My work…new management – now disrespecting the
work of the past. Has my soul learned? I hope so…it is costing my body plenty
now. I will have to object. I will increase tensions, making the situation even
more difficult.
5:45
p.m. Such a day…in a working world. How does one soul get about and learn to
relate within human and spiritual spheres. I'm tired of much of this.
Adrenaline doesn't work as it has in the past. Being more invisible…that's what
I'm becoming. Can I be of help to the world? That is my goal.
6:56
p.m. My mood right now – I don't want to deal with anything – just go to sleep
– never wake up. Whatever dreams I might have had for helping with planning are
lost. The world is too big, I'm too small – so just stop it.
10:36
p.m. –
11:35
p.m. Tried to go to bed earlier. … I got wound up – can't read or sleep.
Do I
have a relationship that is not in error?
Life
devolves to nothing… Who or what is with me?
Not
a happy day! Let’s not dwell on it, but keep moving. Let us continue.

Note: 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.
