Today: Step 348 - Today I will
witness the world unfolding. (MP3)
 |
| Today I will witness the world unfolding. Step 348 |
WITHOUT YOUR FEARFUL SPECULATION, without your
anxious reaction to fearful appearances and without your ambitions and denials,
you may see the world unfolding today. Your eyes will see this, your ears will
hear it, your skin will sense it and you will feel it with your entire physical
and mental being. You will know this because your being knows while your mind thinks
and your body acts. Thus it is that the power of Knowledge is the power of
being, of which you are a part.
IT IS WITH THIS POWER that you can observe the
world unfolding, for the world has a being, a mind and a body. Its being knows,
its mind thinks and its body acts. Nature is its body. Your collective thinking
is its mind. Knowledge is its being. Thus, as you begin to realize Knowledge
within your life, you will realize Knowledge within the world. As you see
Knowledge cleansing and purifying your mind, you will see Knowledge cleansing
and purifying all minds in your world. As you see Knowledge guiding you into
effective action, you will see Knowledge in the world guiding others into
effective action. Thus, as you learn to have compassion towards yourself, you
will learn to have compassion towards the world. As you witness your own
unfoldment, you will witness the world’s unfoldment.
TODAY UPON THE HOUR REPEAT THIS IDEA and bear
witness to the unfoldment of the world. In your two longer practice periods
today, with your eyes open, gaze upon the world around you. Spend these times
alone, gazing upon the world around you. Look without judgment. Feel the world
unfolding. You need not try to feel this. You will feel it because it is
natural. Without obstruction or intervention on your part, this experience will
be ever present and available to you. Feel the world unfolding, for it will
confirm all that you are learning now, and all that you are learning now will
serve the world in its unfoldment.
PRACTICE 348: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly
practice.
From the journal: Step
347 - I allow my life to unfold today.
4:06
a.m. August 1, 2001 – Awakened by the A.C. – thinking then of the DSB data
sorts – it went well. Then – the needs of David and Sarah – that their
Knowledge may emerge for their benefit and the world’s. Mine too needs to be
strengthened.
8:25
a.m. Completed 2nd practice. "I allow my life to unfold today". My
inner and outer lives are unfolding.
The
outer seems to have unraveled – I'm still waiting for the full path to emerge.
Cooperation as the goal – is it necessary to fight for cooperation?

a.m. –

p.m. – My life is unfolding. Today – the UU newsletter – I feel comfortable
there. [Universalist Unitarian church]
Instead
of life unfolding, my sense is that it: “seems to have unraveled”. Many
questions: “is it necessary to fight for cooperation?”
No choice but to 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.
