To realize my strength, I must exercise my authority. CT Step 30 (MP3)

| To realize my strength, I must exercise my authority. CT Step 30 |
Surely now is the time to discover this authority
and to exercise it as greater persuasive powers are being cast over the world
from those visiting from the Greater Community. They will utilize their
abilities to fulfill their own goals and commitments. Therefore, you must stand
up for what is true within yourself and you must guard your mind against
intrusion and against false persuasion, in all of its manifestations.
Think about this today as you travel about the
world and carry out your worldly activities. Think about your mind and whether
you really control it or not. Think about how much of its power is given to you
and how much of it is given to all of the other forces to which you bow down.
Recognize how little personal freedom there really is in the world and how
little of it is utilized, and you will gain a greater commitment to preserve
your own mind and to dedicate it to a greater purpose, the true purpose that is
yours to claim and to fulfill.
As you practice upon the hour, exercise your authority.
Do not let circumstances or neglect prevent you from utilizing each opportunity
to strengthen yourself and everyone around you. Your greater authority must be
reclaimed, and this is your opportunity to reclaim it.
Practice 30: One
30-minute stillness practice.
Contemplation practice.
Hourly practice.
Picture: In
Utah, in route from Salt Lake City to Moab on
U.S. 6 E. Being “in the driver’s seat” is an expression of exercise of
authority. Various strengths are required, mental, physical and emotional,
depending upon the vehicle and the situation. There is an obligation to be
responsible.

For the continuation of reading material, the next book in Volume 1 of The Message is the not yet published "The Greater Community”. Thus the gray

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.
