x2 Step 307 - Knowledge is living within me now. – Journal – Step 306




Today:  Step 307 - Knowledge is living within me now. (MP3) 

Knowledge is living within me now. Step 307

KNOWLEDGE IS LIVING WITHIN YOU, and you are learning to live with Knowledge. Thus, all darkness and illusion are dispelled from your mind as you come to realize what your life has always been and will always be. As you realize the changelessness of your true existence, you will realize how it wishes to express itself in the world of change. Your Knowledge is greater than your mind, greater than your body and greater than your definitions of yourself. It is changeless yet ever changing in its expression. Beyond fear, doubt and destruction it abides within you, and as you learn to abide with it, all of its qualities will become your own.

THERE IS NOTHING THAT THE WORLD CAN PROVIDE that can in any way compare to this, for all the world’s gifts are momentary and transitory. As you honor them, your fear of losing them will increase. As you hold them to yourself, your anxiety about death and destruction will be enhanced, and you will re-enter confusion and frustration. But with Knowledge, you may possess things in the world without identifying with them. You may receive them and release them according to the necessity of doing so. Then, the great anxiety of the world will not affect you, but the power of Knowledge that you carry will affect the world. In this way, you will affect the world more than it affects you. In this way, you will be a contributor to the world. In this way, the world will be blessed.

REJUVENATE YOURSELF IN KNOWLEDGE in your deeper practice periods in stillness and remind yourself upon the hour of the power of Knowledge that you carry this day. Let not any doubt or uncertainty dissuade you, for here doubt and uncertainty are completely unnatural. You are learning to become natural because what could be more natural than being yourself? And what could be more yourself than Knowledge itself?

PRACTICE 307: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly practice.


7:40 a.m. Thursday, June 21, 2001 – 1st day of summer. It is cold and wet. The Step is I rest in Knowledge. My meditations have been noisy. Lots of thinking about work problems – things to do.

The intervention tape says humanity has all that it needs to be successful. The only thing it lacks is the perspective that it is one race, this one planet. [my emerging K is about "perspective".]

9:24 p.m. – Long day – a few points scored @ PDC – interim stationery – fund allocation for River Rec./whole allocation process. Completed the household projections for transportation.

Home – walk with Cindy – always rough conversation. "Error", keeps coming to mind. There is no painless way to correct error – I can work to minimize, ignore, or end.

I don't want to leave this house…though I might need to if a CRC opportunity opens.

Step 306 – "I will rest in Knowledge today".

11:10 p.m. Practice #2 –
LTW of K – p. 129 – "When you come to that threshold where you want to give yourself to others and give yourself to life (got there years ago), when you realize that you cannot fulfill yourself alone and that there is no fulfillment in a self-determined life, (here for a while? here now?) then you will hear your Spiritual Family and the Unseen ones will come close to you, for you are waking from a long and troubled dream. (family has been here for a while) Then the power of the universe will respond to you, for you are responding to it. (Yes – I am responding). [6/23/01 – I have faith that the universe/K/HS is responding]

The Steps give us a different perspective. In this period I’m listening to an audio tape about the interventions that I probably bought in Boulder at the workshop. While books about spirituality have always been around, audio and video tapes emerged in the 1980’s and 1990’s, but due to cost, were not widely available. 

Here in 2001 as I was doing Steps, there was the internet, but YouTube would not have its first video uploaded until April 23, 2005. These days there is much ET and spirituality related material on the web, but is it true information? We will need discernment for this. 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.
