Today:  CT Step 25 - There is a new hope in the world. (MP3)

There is a new hope in the world. CT Step 25

Hope in the world is rekindled by those who become strong with Knowledge. Hope can fade away and then can be reignited. It can seem to come and go, depending on how people are swayed and what they choose for themselves. Hope rests with you. Because the Unseen Ones are here does not mean that there is hope, for without you, there would be no hope! For you and others like you are bringing a new hope into the world because you are learning The Way of Knowledge and because you are learning to receive the gift of Knowledge. This brings a new hope into the world. Perhaps you cannot see this fully at this moment. Perhaps it seems beyond your understanding. But from a greater perspective, it is so very true and so very important.

The world’s emergence into the Greater Community speaks to this, for if no one were preparing for the Greater Community, if no one were learning The Greater Community Way of Knowledge or Greater Community Spirituality, well, then hope would seem to fade. And humanity’s destiny would seem to be utterly predictable. But because there is hope in the world, because there is hope in you and in others like you who are responding to a greater calling, the the destiny of humanity has greater promise, and the freedom of humanity may well yet be secured.

Consider this today and strengthen the reality of this through your practice in stillness and your hourly practices in discernment and awareness. Become the hope and all self-hatred will disappear from your mind.

Practice 25:   One 30-minute stillness practice.

                         Contemplation practice.

                         Hourly practice.

From the journal:  CT Step 24 - The Unseen Ones are with me.

6:05 p.m. September 18, 2001 – Living Towns V is done. Time to meditate. Step 24 – unseen – I did some "unseen" work cleaning up broken glass on 6th Street - work tools provided.

12:21 a.m. September 19, 2001 – up late doing the MIF minutes. My planning life is better without having the PDC admin to do. It was a true unburdening. Living Towns went well – go to Living towns – NSV

The notion of the Unseen Ones may be hard to grasp. That there are spirits which are present to guide us and haven been doing so since childhood, is again odd. Its experience is personal too us, but at the same time is a fulfillment of what has been hinted at all our lives. Then, when does it happen again? Can’t be too much- we must listen. We continue.

Note: If you’ve some interest, but this is the first time you’ve seen 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. Begin at the beginning.

If you do know about Steps, but have not done Steps twice completely, read the related materials, and have a sense of the direction of this study, you won’t get the experience. The Introduction begins:

“This is the Steps to Knowledge Continuation Training. It is designed to build upon the Steps that were learned in Steps to Knowledge to enable you to experience the grace, the power and the direction of Knowledge in your life and to become an expression of Knowledge in everything that you do. If you have completed the book, Steps to Knowledge, twice through and have followed the instructions as they were given without altering the curriculum in any way, then you are now ready to begin this more advanced study”.

If you are an independent student, that is certainly an option. 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.
