| The truth is with me. I can feel it. Step 32 |
THE TRUTH IS WITH YOU. YOU CAN FEEL IT, and it can
shine into your mind and into your emotions if you allow it to. Today continue
your preparation in developing the desire for truth and the capability to
experience truth.
IN YOUR TWO LONGER PRACTICE PERIODS, each of a
30-minute duration, sit quietly with your eyes closed, breathing deeply and
regularly, attempting to feel the truth beyond the constant restlessness of
your mind. Use your breath to take you deeper, for your breathing will always
take you beyond your thoughts if you adhere yourself to it conscientiously. Let
nothing distract or dissuade you. If something permeates your mind and you have
difficulty releasing it, tell yourself that you will look at it a little later,
but that right now you are taking a small vacation from your mind. Practice
feeling the truth. Do not think the truth. Practice feeling the truth.
PRACTICE 32: Two 30-minute practice periods.

From the journal Step
31 - I wish to see a world I have never seen before.
11:58
p.m. – September 19, 2000 – A busy day – a successful Living Towns IV. It was
hard to practice on the hour "I wish to see a world I have never seen
before." I saw much cooperation – in many relationships – I also am seeing
Gorby pass – and I talked to Mom about visiting in October. I was to look w/o
judgment. Don't know if I could.
Some days, there’s little time to write in one’s
journal. I did do the practice on this day and had some results. Gorby is our
Russian Blue cat.
Because this is the second, or more, time through
Steps, we can look at the whole week of lessons:
Step 29: I
will observe myself today to learn of Knowledge.
Step 30:
Today I will observe my world.
Step 31: I
wish to see a world I have never seen before.
Step 32: The
truth is with me. I can feel it.
Step 33: I
have a mission in my life to fulfill.
Step 34: I
am a beginning student of Knowledge.
Step 35:
REVIEW
Today we are halfway through week five. We might be
able to see how the Steps work together to help us move our minds and gain
experience. Let us continue, with patience. The development of patience was,
for me, a process that began in the 1980’s with a labyrinth,
though I did not know it at the time.

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.
