Today: Step 333 - There is a
presence with me. I can feel it. (MP3)
 |
| There is a presence with me. I can feel it. Step 333 |
FEEL THE PRESENCE OF YOUR TEACHERS TODAY who abide
with you and oversee your preparation as a student of Knowledge. Feel their
presence today and you will feel your own presence, for you are joined together
in this presence that you feel. Remember that you are not alone, and you will
not become isolated in your own thoughts. You will not become isolated in your
own fearful considerations.
UPON THE HOUR EXPERIENCE THIS PRESENCE, for this
presence is with you upon the hour. Feel this presence no matter where you are today,
whether you are at work or at home, whether you are alone or with another, for
this presence is with you wherever you go.
IN YOUR TWO DEEP MEDITATION PRACTICES allow
yourself to experience the presence of love, which is the presence of
Knowledge, which is the presence of Wisdom, which is the presence of certainty,
which is the source of your purpose, meaning and direction in the world and
which contains for you your calling in the world. Come into the proximity and
into the experience of this presence in your deeper meditations. Do not neglect
this, for here you will experience self-love, self-worth and true inclusion in
life. Take this presence with you today and receive this presence in your
deeper meditations, and you will know that the presence is with you every day.
PRACTICE 333: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.
12:07
a.m. Tuesday, July 17, 2001 – M.E. Birthday… No reason to be concerned there.
Where
am I?
12:15
am. Watching Talk Soup is
not Knowledge. Yet – I'm so isolated.
12:25
a.m. I may have guides, spirits, angels – but in the physical I feel alone. I
have family – blood yes – and friends that saved me in spite of attack. It is
so weird. I can only work so much… Then there's a vegging – it seems I should
not be so… – but here I am. Wasting all…wasting all.
8:50
a.m. "When you accept that you are only beginning to comprehend the
meaning of your life and the meaning of Knowledge within your life, this frees
you to participate and to learn more. Without the burden of judgment, which you
would place upon your life otherwise, you are free to participate and your
participation will make you free".
9:45
a.m. Pioneering regional community – What a challenge. It is necessary to go
outside the system.
This
a.m. – 3 responses on the resolution – Michael Brownlee, Bill S… – and Norm –
Urantia – – Palden Jenkins – (sent 7/20/01)
11:18
p.m. Things done at work… home… Armor All the
car. – walk with Cindy – little conversation – eat dinner – watch TV – two
beers – call Penny – back to TV – the night is gone. Where am I?
I
use the centering question: “Where am I?” often. It does help me recover focus.
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.
