x2 Step 306 - I will rest in Knowledge today. – Journal – Step 305



Today:  Step 306 - I will rest in Knowledge today. (MP3)


I will rest in Knowledge today. Step 306

IN KNOWLEDGE YOU WILL FIND REST AND REPRIEVE from the world. In Knowledge you will find comfort and assurance. In Knowledge all that is truest in life will abide with you, for in Knowledge the Christ and the Buddha are one. In Knowledge all the great achievements of the great Spiritual Emissaries unite and become revealed to you. In this, their promise is fulfilled, for they have given themselves for this purpose. Thus, the Knowledge that you receive today is the fruit of their giving, for Knowledge has been kept alive in the world for you. It has been kept alive by those who have received and contributed it. Thus, their lives provide the foundation for yours. Their giving provides the foundation for your giving. Their acceptance of Knowledge strengthens your acceptance of Knowledge.

THE PURPOSE OF ALL TRUE SPIRITUAL TEACHING is the experience and the manifestation of Knowledge. This can imbue the simplest gift and the greatest gift, the most mundane action and the most extraordinary action. You are in great company, you who practice Knowledge. You receive the gift of the Christ and the Buddha. You receive the gift of all true Spiritual Emissaries who realized their Knowledge. Thus it is that your participation today is given strength and foundation as you carry on the great purpose of keeping Knowledge alive in the world.

TODAY UPON THE HOUR and in your two deep meditation practices, rest in Knowledge, which is living within you now.

PRACTICE 306: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly practice.


June 20, 2001

8:30 a.m. For T-om so loved the world, he came to contribute through family, community and humanity. [***The mystery of my life revealed – 6/23/01]

9:11 p.m. Tired – again – progress @ work on MIF/water authority and household projections. Now to do graphs. When Cindy came home – we went for a walk. It turned to an argument… I didn't want her telling me/warning me about David's plans. She said she wanted to walk alone. I came home. Ate & watched the C-SPAN tape of “Resource Wars: The New Landscape of Global Conflict” by T. Michael Klare.

I listened to the intervention tape twice today – that is affecting my thinking.

Where I need to be has not yet emerged. The water/population work here is important.

There may come a time to end this relationship – or it moves to roommate status. I did not imagine the kids to be such a source of conflict and need. I'd still be single – were that known.

The relationship has been one of learning –… but, pain too.

> This is an ironic thought on the day the practice is step 305 – "I feel the power of love today".

For me, ironic thoughts have come and gone throughout my life. The Steps practices actually deal with them, though they are very often not pretty. Let us 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.
