x2 Step 11 - Journal Step 10 – What is Knowledge?

Today:  I am not apart from life. Step 11 (MP3) 

I am not apart from life. Step 11

REGARDLESS OF THE GREAT ESTABLISHMENTS built upon your individuality and all that is associated with you personally— your body, your ideas, your difficulties, your specific forms of expression, your idiosyncrasies, your talents—you are not apart from life. This is so obvious if you look at yourself with simplicity and realize that the very makeup of your body, the very fabric of your physical life, is completely made of what life is in the physical. It is quite apparent that you are made of the same “stuff ” as everything else around you. What is mysterious is your mind. It seems to be a distinct point of understanding, but it is as much a part of life as your physical fabric. You are an individual unaware of your Source and your total inclusion in life. Your individuality is a burden now, but it will be a great happiness to you when it can express life itself.

PRACTICE 11: Read the lesson three times today.

From the journal:  Step 10 – What is Knowledge?

The journal had nothing to add today. Looking closely at Step 10, we can see that it carries a lot of information:

LET US SAY THAT KNOWLEDGE:

- is not  the things that are usually associated with it. It

- is not ideas. It

- is not a body of information. It

- is not a system of belief. It

- is not a process of self-evaluation.

It is the great mystery of your life. Its outward manifestations are:

- profound intuition,

- great insight,

- inexplicable knowing,

- wise perception in the present and in the future and

- wise understanding of the past.

But despite these great achievements of mind, Knowledge is greater than this. It is your True Self, a Self that is not apart from life.

It means more, reading it for the second round, but for me, I’m still working on these understandings and experiences. Let us continue.
