x2 Step 308 – Review ~ Remember that Knowledge is life itself … – Journal – Step 307



Today:  Step 308 – Review ~ Remember that Knowledge is life itself… (MP3)



IN YOUR LONGER PRACTICE PERIOD TODAY undertake the Review of the past two weeks of training according to our previous instructions. This is a very important review period, for you will be reviewing the invocations that have been given to you, and you will be reviewing as well the potency of the task that you are undertaking as a student of Knowledge. Recognize in these past two weeks your own fear of Knowledge. Realize your own fear of the mystery of your life. Recognize any attempts that you might have made to re-enter illusion and imagination. Recognize this contrast in learning which is so essential to your understanding.

REVIEW THIS WITH OBJECTIVITY AND COMPASSION. Know that your ambivalence towards life must be realized and that it will continue to express itself with ever decreasing potency as you come closer and closer to Knowledge. Remember that Knowledge is life itself, the very essence of life. It is changeless and yet expressing itself through change constantly. To experience it, you must strengthen your participation as a student of Knowledge and remember that you are a beginning student of Knowledge so that you cannot rely upon your assumptions. You must receive the curriculum and be guided in applying it. In this way, you will be safe from all misapplication, all misinterpretation and thus safe from error.

THIS REVIEW IS VERY IMPORTANT, for you are now reaching a great turning point in your participation as a student of Knowledge. Knowledge is beginning to have potency now. You are beginning to feel its power. You are beginning to realize its total importance to you. You who have been partial with life in the past are now realizing that life is completely with you and will require that you be completely with it. This is your salvation and your redemption, for here all separation, fear and misery are dispelled. What can you possibly lose to receive such a gift? You lose only your imagination, which has haunted you, threatened you and frightened you. Yet, even your imagination will be given a greater purpose with Knowledge, for it is meant to serve you in a different way.

CARRY ON YOUR REVIEW WITH GREAT DEPTH AND SINCERITY. Do not be concerned how long this takes. Your time cannot be better spent. Review the past two weeks so that you may observe the advancement of Knowledge within yourself. You will need this understanding if you are to support others in the future in reclaiming Knowledge for themselves.

PRACTICE 308: One long practice period.


8:45 a.m. June 22, 2001 – The [fiscal] year is almost over. Little sleep last night – gas from old Echinacea tea?

My step this morning "K is with me now", was again noisy. I focused on the very practical way the planning work @ the PDC is going forward.

3:56 p.m. Home early. It is rainy – cool for June. I have a headache? Or heartache? Which is it? This weekend I intend to make progress on CRC. S2K – Step 307 "Knowledge is living with me now". In the first practice I looked at how technology changes things, but doesn't end the need to deal with the fundamental aspects of physical existence – as the Intervention tape says. Technology doesn't answer, it moves issues to a higher level of complexity. It has allowed us to be greedy – to need more. The systems demand that we take more because w/o consumption – they don't work. Early levels have waste due to inefficiency, later ones – due to push consumption. Thus we can take faster & faster, more and more, from life. Yet others have nothing. Humanity must control its own population of the earth.

So – having sought to be a planner and futurist – to deal with problems of a magnitude where I do not have the skill or knowledge, and am only building slowly, what can I do for Knowledge – with my Knowledge?

11:31 p.m. I have completed and signed my first resolution for Humanity's Independence. I sent it to Marshall and Patricia – no idea what the reaction will be…at least I've done something.

The “Resolution Asserting the Universal Rights of Humanity to its Planetary Independence” is what I produced, printed out and signed on June 22, 200. Resolutions are what formal organizations and governments do as a statement of policy. They are signed, dated and recorded in official minutes, becoming a mark in time. The text is on the web at humanity.bz. At this time, The Society had already begun working on what is today the Declaration of Human Sovereignty. The difference is that my resolution has a place for an individual to sign and date, making another recorded point of resistance in time. Resistance to E.T. intervention cannot have too many voices.

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.
