Today: Step 352 - I am a true
student of Knowledge today. (MP3)
 |
| I am a true student of Knowledge today. Step 352 |
AFFIRM THIS UPON THE HOUR, and in your two
meditation practices enter your periods of silence with great reverence and
devotion. These are your times of worship. You are truly going to church
now—not from obligation, not from fear or anxiety and not from a sense of duty
to an unloving God, but out of a sense of great joy and out of a desire to give
yourself to that which gives itself to you. Be a true student of Knowledge.
Remember all that has been told to you thus far and utilize it every hour.
Engage with practice meaningfully, both internally and externally. Strengthen
this day. Give this day to Knowledge as Knowledge gives this day to you so that
you may learn about the presence of Knowledge in your life.
KNOWLEDGE IS GOD’S GIFT TO YOU, for Knowledge is
God’s extension to you. Thus, Knowledge will be God to you but will speak of
greatness beyond itself, for Knowledge is here to enable you to be in
relationship meaningfully with yourself, with others and with life. Through
this you will be able to reclaim relationships and thus move towards your True
Home in God.
PRACTICE 352: Two 30-minute practice periods.
Hourly practice.
1:45
a.m. Sunday, August 5, 2001 – can't sleep
Concern
about David and Sarah – the deteriorating relationship with Cindy. Watched
"Pay It Forward", a drama – good story, sad story, about a boy trying
to heal his mother's life and his own. Fate takes him? …
2:10
p.m. I am overwhelmed by the unfolding – it is because I've stayed young in
heart – looking for the new – that I can hear, see, feel, experience the
change.
The
most amazing show was on today – rather, what I taped last night. Michael Lewis
talking about his book "Next:" The future has already arrived". [The Future Just Happened] …
A
Region to Watch → Regions belong
to those who claim them. The new search and the regional turf. It is the
foolish city that does not claim it's hinterland and promote the growth of its
neighbors. [8/31/02 – for how can it be a hub W/O links.]
…
Shuttle
world – any vehicle with the driver can be a shuttle [my early idea of an Uber type world]
→ Those young
people that made great strides in the Internet – became experts – lived in
isolated, deprived environments.
→ this world is
moving to become one
→ One–Diversity.com
→ There is only
ONE – WON
*[When
we are one, we will have won.]
One_Won_Diversity.com
…
Regional
Communities are subsets of the Local Planet Community. Each local community is
involved/relates to many regional communities.
The
globe is the only perfectly inclusive Map – entirely whole – entirely local.
The
map is not 0.0001% of the territory. The map is not the map 8/31/02
The
map models relationships relationship maps 8/31/02
David
and Sarah – sending them money buys me time for Greater Community – their
problems are my agenda for their needs are the needs of the world.
→ Planning can
not only deal with the past – not the future – it is design/build
6:49
p.m. …
10:30
p.m. Talk to M.E. Phil sounds worse as it goes – he may be into porn – on the
net perhaps – another risk to the baby. Nobody will do anything until the baby
is born.
→ I missed the
chance to save Sarah when I let her go back to Texas to be with Lloyd – Hell here – worse hell there.
If my life would calm down, I might have time to become
a better student. 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.
