x2 Step 224 - Review ~ Today practice objectivity … – Journal – Step 223



Today:  Step 224 - Review ~ Today practice objectivity (MP3)


TODAY PRACTICE OBJECTIVITY BY REVIEWING the last two weeks of practice. Once again, read each lesson for the day and recall your practice for that day. Begin with the first practice of the two-week period, and then follow each day step by step. Strengthen your ability to observe your progress objectively. See what happens on days when you are strong with practice and on days when you are weak. Imagine for a moment as you do this that you are looking through the eyes of your Teachers who are watching your life from far above. They are without condemnation. They are merely taking note of your strengths and weaknesses, strengthening the former and minimizing the effects of the latter. As you learn to view your life objectively, you will learn to see your life through the eyes of your Teachers. This is looking with Knowledge. This is looking without judgment. Given this, the mind becomes a vehicle for Knowledge, and Knowledge will bestow upon you all the ideas and the activities that are truly beneficial for you.

ALLOW YOUR REVIEW PRACTICE PERIOD TODAY to be engaged on your own behalf. Utilize your mind purposefully and do not allow it to wander. Break the habit of thinking mindlessly. Break the habit of preoccupying yourself with foolish and meaningless things. Allow your Review today to demonstrate to you that you are a true student of Knowledge.

PRACTICE 224: One long practice period.


7:55 a.m. March 30, 2001. Step 223 today, in the text says, "Give yourself to receiving Knowledge. This is your practice for today. Everything else is merely a form of confusion. There is no event in your outer life that need replace your practice today, for Knowledge blesses all things within you and without. It dispels that which is unnecessary and purposefully engages you with that which is necessary for you and has true potential for you."

Regional – is the scale of the future. Scale is what counts in the global economy re: economies, dis-economies and quality of being/life


2:25 p.m. The PDC offices a smaller and smaller box. I ran it as a business or rather than as a governmental unit. That didn't work – or wasn't successful –
I did learn – and I'm happy to have done so. The life thus far has been a package cruise. I could've taken different turns income to different situations.

3:07 p.m. Practice #1 – complete. Werner Fornos [then president of the Population Institute] spoke @ Rotary today. He spoke @ the club and I had a chance to give him "regional intelligence" and "local planet". I'll send an email – response?

Here’s the Steps page graphic – green ink first time S2K; blue ink second time.


It is good to receive. Let us be open and continue.

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.
