Today: Step 235 - The power of
Knowledge is becoming evident to me. (MP3)

| Step 235 - The power of Knowledge is becoming evident to me. |
IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR YOU TO RECOGNIZE the power of Knowledge,
for it is far greater than anything you have imagined. Yet, it is far simpler
and more subtle than that which you can yet comprehend. It can be seen in the
innocence of a child’s eyes; it can be imagined in the greatness of the
movement of galaxies. In the simplest gesture or the greatest act, it can
manifest itself.
ALLOW YOURSELF TO ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE ONLY BEGINNING
to realize the presence of Knowledge in your life and in all life. This is determined
by your capacity for Knowledge, which, along with your desire for Knowledge,
you are now cultivating. That is why day after day you practice stillness and
peace and only interrupt these practices with practicing the active engagement
of your mind for great purposes. Here you are building your capacity as well as
your desire, for each day you must practice because of the desire for
Knowledge, and each practice develops your capability to experience Knowledge.
YOU ARE BEGINNING TO RECOGNIZE the presence of
Knowledge, the power of Knowledge and the evidence of Knowledge. Remind yourself
of this upon the hour and do not forget. Once again, in the depth of your
longer practice periods, give yourself completely to entering stillness and
peace, for this will undo all blame and unforgiveness within you and will show
you the power of Knowledge, which you are now learning to accept.
PRACTICE 235: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.

p.m. – Region builder database – call up a record – say area agency on aging,
look to a community – from that point/center – it builds the region around
it> lists same geography of regions/alignment
→ On the road earlier – the web as a regional media –
can connect. Traditional media – TV, radio, newspaper – based on circulation or
signal areas – may be multi-jurisdictional, but not regional – based on
geography.

p.m. I have to accept my life as it is right now – and the inspiration I have
for myself – regional community. If I had more wealth, I'd have more time. Where
I more in touch, I would have made better decisions. It was never a goal to be
rich. I assumed I would grow some wealth – it hasn't happened yet – and – like
my never taken music lessons, there's a risk I'll never learn to invest and
fail. Knowledge is not upset, but I am, I assume all need money to to do what
is needed. I need time to write…that is the peacetime failing to focus upon.
Step
234 – Practice #2 "Knowledge serves humanity in always".
How long does it take to find one’s meaning,
purpose and direction? At this point we’ve been doing Steps for at least 600
days (365 Steps + Step 235 today), but calendar time is longer for many
reasons. Day in and day out we can ask, record what dribbles out, practice
stillness, listen and record what hints we hear. This takes a long time. It isn't all exciting. Let us
be patient and 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.
