x2 Step 252 – Review … a confirmation of the presence of Knowledge in your life. – Journal – Step 251



Today:  Step 252 – Review … a confirmation of the presence of Knowledge in your life. (MP3)


LET YOUR REVIEW OF EACH LESSON in the past two weeks be a confirmation of the presence of Knowledge in your life. Review each lesson and practice. Review objectively the extent of your involvement and realize the opportunities to give yourself more fully and more completely. Realize how meaningless your denial is and how great the promise of your reward, given your participation in life. You will realize this as you review your practices, for your practices demonstrate your ambivalence towards Knowledge and the presence of Knowledge itself.

YOU WILL LEARN IN TIME that as you come closer to Knowledge, all things that are meaningful and valuable will be affirmed, and as you go away from Knowledge, you will enter the darkness of your own imagination. This, then, will convince you of where you need to apply yourself. This will convince you of the great presence that is with you to assist you. This will convince you that you are included in life and that your Teachers are with you. Whatever obstacle or inadequacy that you can recognize or imagine can be easily overcome with Knowledge. It is your desire for Knowledge and your capacity for Knowledge that need to be strengthened. And once this is done, Knowledge will express itself and you will be the beneficiary of life’s greatest gift.

IN YOUR LONGER REVIEW TODAY, allow yourself to undertake your practice with great depth and sincerity. Allow this day to affirm your studenthood. Allow this day to affirm that you have been saved.

PRACTICE 252: One long practice period.

Note the last line: “Allow this day to affirm that you have been saved.”


The longer you’ve been on this planet, the more relationships you’re likely to need to review. Ugh.

8:20 a.m. … on leave today. I've been unburdened of the administrative/CEO responsibilities. Relationships – Errors/failures/disconnects –were the problems. The rug pulling fall hurt my ego – but Spirit helped me keep up appearances.

Tomorrow it's Texas. I'm looking forward to travel. It always stimulates my mind. I'll do the long review on the plane.

I'm very grateful.

8:51 a.m. Yesterday – on the road to Winchester. The Virginia land-use system. …

Also – yesterday – with Cindy, thinking of her – in my need for a partner in RI. – I need to ask – what will it take to get her participation as an equal partner. I have great transcription needs – in order to move to publishing.

Making the region visible. Put the term in places it hasn’t been – "To form a more perfect region (not union)…

Sort of like Big Dogs – put a "Regional" spin on everything.

Problem – too many regions – too hard to get data – need region builder software.

9:27 a.m. I feel overwhelmed with urgency on many fronts – the need to link and pursue opportunities. It is so I can't be still. Last night – even home @ 10 p.m. and somewhat tired – after – 5 – 7 minutes of stillness I was restless and had to get up, eat – though not very hungry, and watch some so-so – TV.

9:38 a.m. Step 251 – Practice #1 – "If I abide with Knowledge, there will be no confusion in my relationships".

Text says – If K is not confused, how can you be confused who abide in K? The basic premise is – K – HS – is truth – God's truth – the Creator’s truth – upon which the separation of physicality/the manifest universe resides – as nested relationships in a universal network/web that is both expanding and returning to God/Creator/heaven – Physicality is real – is life – yet layered upon it are belief systems/illusions of cultures, beings, intelligences which, from the inside out, may have crafted a view/belief system for management of themselves within their space time context. Choose life – seek to Know and understand your place in the web, that you come to consciousness in physicality as one in a spiritual family – moving as student/teacher in life's evolution.

Where did I come from? Why did my soul decide to test the experience of separation – along with billions of others?

An older thought (last 12 months?) – We are all prodigal sons and daughters.

Yet here I am. In the web of life at this point in humanity's evolution on earth – with partners known and unknown. Each soul, here on earth, regardless of awareness of K – has chosen physical –, while others work from other dimensions.

This is my current experience as best I can put it in words. The creative force – as expressed through K/HS – Knows the meaning, purpose and direction of life. It is never confused. Like the heartbeat – the rhythm of life – a drumbeat –

2:21 p.m. At Su-ne – SNP on the trail. A beautiful spring day. At Rotary – Annie B... brought in a cheetah from Cincinnati and talked about "Cheetah Outreach" – a great lesson in both boundaries and learning. The hard boundaries of the African Preserves – led to domination by the big species, lions, leopards, elephant – and were not good habitat for the cheetah. Her education approach also was used to bring together black-&-white children in South Africa. I told her about Regional Intelligence – she seemed to get it.
Today – I've not met a person who did not Know (or didn't say they didn't know) of the Bar Scene in Star Wars. That is step one to see Earth as "local".

So – still getting to Practice #1 –

2:36 p.m. Actively look at sign every single primary relationship.

– Not that many of my primary relationships have ended. Even with M.E. The relationship goes on.

My continuing relationships have had the frustration, confusion etc. – and they have beginnings, middles & ends – but, they still continue.

– My parents are near their ends – 20 to 30 years. I'm understanding/Knowing why I picked them.

– With girlfriends, it was trying to find relationships. After I got my glasses and stayed a shrimp – it was tough.

… friends in childhood –  [long list of names through college, U.S. Navy, current time]

More self-analysis of relationships ahead. This is work. Recording it in the journal helps manage this type of exercise, even though there are things you don’t want to write down. Make up a code to yourself. 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.
