Let me understand my relationships today. CT Step 39 (MP3)
Let me understand my relationships today. CT Step 39 |
• Do I have purpose with this person?
• Is our relationship being expressed
appropriately?
• Are we sharing the same destiny?
Ask these three questions of everyone with whom you
are directly engaged. And listen carefully for the answer. You will be tempted
to answer this question yourself, but do not trust these answers. Instead, wait
for something deeper to come. The answer may not come in the moment. It may
come far later. But the fact that you are asking the question and listening for
the answer is the important thing here.
Do this practice intermittently throughout the day,
and in your long practice in stillness listen carefully, without asking any
questions. Feel the presence of Knowledge. Open yourself to Knowledge. Let
Knowledge be with you and speak with you. And as you practice upon the hour,
listen carefully. Look carefully. Pay attention to where you are and what is
happening within yourself. Life will reveal its secrets to you if you can do
this. Today is your opportunity to practice doing so.
Practice 39: One
30-minute stillness practice.
Contemplation practice.
Hourly practice.

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.
