Today: Step 306 - I will rest in
Knowledge today. (MP3)
 |
| I will rest in Knowledge today. Step 306 |
IN KNOWLEDGE YOU WILL FIND REST AND REPRIEVE from
the world. In Knowledge you will find comfort and assurance. In Knowledge all
that is truest in life will abide with you, for in Knowledge the Christ and the
Buddha are one. In Knowledge all the great achievements of the great Spiritual
Emissaries unite and become revealed to you. In this, their promise is
fulfilled, for they have given themselves for this purpose. Thus, the Knowledge
that you receive today is the fruit of their giving, for Knowledge has been
kept alive in the world for you. It has been kept alive by those who have
received and contributed it. Thus, their lives provide the foundation for
yours. Their giving provides the foundation for your giving. Their acceptance of
Knowledge strengthens your acceptance of Knowledge.
THE PURPOSE OF ALL TRUE SPIRITUAL TEACHING is the
experience and the manifestation of Knowledge. This can imbue the simplest gift
and the greatest gift, the most mundane action and the most extraordinary
action. You are in great company, you who practice Knowledge. You receive the
gift of the Christ and the Buddha. You receive the gift of all true Spiritual
Emissaries who realized their Knowledge. Thus it is that your participation
today is given strength and foundation as you carry on the great purpose of
keeping Knowledge alive in the world.
TODAY UPON THE HOUR and in your two deep meditation
practices, rest in Knowledge, which is living within you now.
PRACTICE 306: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.

305 - I feel the power of love today.

a.m. For T-om so loved the world, he came to contribute through family,
community and humanity. [***The mystery of my life revealed – 6/23/01]
9:11
p.m. Tired – again – progress @ work on MIF/water authority and household
projections. Now to do graphs. When Cindy came home – we went for a walk. It
turned to an argument… I didn't want her telling me/warning me about David's
plans. She said she wanted to walk alone. I came home. Ate & watched the
C-SPAN tape of “Resource Wars: The New Landscape of Global Conflict” by T.
Michael Klare.
I listened
to the intervention
tape twice today – that is affecting my thinking.
Where
I need to be has not yet emerged. The water/population work here is important.
There
may come a time to end this relationship – or it moves to roommate status. I
did not imagine the kids to be such a source of conflict and need. I'd still be
single – were that known.
The
relationship has been one of learning –… but, pain too.

This is an ironic thought on the day the practice is step 305 – "I feel
the power of love today".
For
me, ironic thoughts have come and gone throughout my life. The Steps practices
actually deal with them, though they are very often not pretty. 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.
