I surround and protect myself with the love and the grace of God. Continuation Training Step 65


I surround and protect myself with the love and the grace of God. CT Step 65 (MP3)

I surround and protect myself with the love and the grace of God. CT Step 65
Today practice this invocation: "I surround and protect myself with the love and the grace of God." When you practice opening yourself, surround yourself with this presence. Call forth the Unseen Ones to be with you to guard you and to protect your mind as it is learning to open. There is much in the universe that you do not want to become receptive to. Create this protection and your mind can open safely. In a house you want a good roof over your head. Think of the Unseen Ones as a roof over your head to protect you against the elements.

Practice your meditation in stillness, but upon the hour today, say, "I surround and protect myself with the love and grace of God." Take a moment to experience this. Let this become part of your experience today.

Practice 65:   One 30-minute stillness practice.
                         Contemplation practice.
                         Hourly practice.


Picture:  The dance of peace group activity at the Parliament of World Religions, Salt Lake City, Utah. This “physical surrounding” might be taken as a visualization of the invocation in Step 65.

Note: If you’ve some interest, but this is the first time you’ve seen 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. Begin at the beginning.

If you do know about Steps, but have not done Steps twice completely, read the related materials, and have a sense of the direction of this study, you won’t get the experience. The Introduction begins:

“This is the Steps to Knowledge Continuation Training. It is designed to build upon the Steps that were learned in Steps to Knowledge to enable you to experience the grace, the power and the direction of Knowledge in your life and to become an expression of Knowledge in everything that you do. If you have completed the book, Steps to Knowledge, twice through and have followed the instructions as they were given without altering the curriculum in any way, then you are now ready to begin this more advanced study”.

If you are an independent student, that is certainly an option. 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.
