CT Step 56 – REVIEW – Journal – CT Step 55

Today:  CT Step 56 - REVIEW (MP3)

 

As you have done before, review the past six lessons. Then begin your Four Pillars exercise. This past week you have been doing a lot of looking, considering things deeply. This is good. This is the right use of the mind. The mind seeks to be employed. If it becomes self-employed, it becomes an erratic and destructive force. The mind seeks a master. That is one of the reasons why people give themselves to other authority figures because they do not know of Knowledge, who is the real master. Your mind as a servant is magnificent. Your mind without anything to serve is pathetic.

Think of these things today in your Review and be glad that you can exercise your mind in a truly productive and positive way. Do not worry about the results. They will come because you are building the strength to bring them forth and to accept them. You are building the foundation and with it the real power that you need.

Practice 56:   Four Pillars Review.

                         Hourly practice.

From the journal:  CT Step 55 - There are forces in the world which I must comprehend.

3:58 a.m. Friday, October 19, 2001 – I awoke about 3:30 and have gotten up full of energy. Why? I just went over the SVWA Articles – I need to call Clayton early and get the info out.

Yesterday I had a memory of being able to see something that had always been there as a result of my practices. The hourly practice is not recognized every hour.

I am moving through the world. The Fire of Knowledge propels me, inspires me, sustains me, and encourages us – my spiritual family. (! 11/11/01)

4:29 a.m. Contemplation of Step 55 – "There are forces in the world which I must comprehend". This is a challenging Step. It says there are forces I can comprehend. They thwart Knowledge. They can be felt.

I have felt forces – and have tended to stay in the light. This has been luck or destiny? Both –

Forces of separation. Forces of cooperation. Domination.

Which force – (fear) makes me do unwise things in my life which waste energy, create frustration, lead to loss, are presented as freedom?

8:40 a.m. Went back to bed 5 a.m. – 7:45 a.m. The contemplation continuing. Even though I'd read ahead to this Step, it didn't hit me as to how significant it is. That the forces can act through humans or on their own is significant. Are they alien/physical/interdimensional or spiritual. (David Icke’s reptilian? 11/11/01?)

References to forces are in much music – Credence [Clearwater Revival], [Rolling] Stones.

11:17 p.m. A strange day. Forces…work – food, shopping, til – I'm tired… War in Afghanistan…today I hurt myself, moving office furniture – overeating good tasting food.

Comprehending forces – this will take some time. Life is looking different. When I add a comment in the journal at a later date, I include the date. You may be doing this in your journals. It is a way to keep track of the movement of your thinking, as well as new influences – like my early reading of David Icke. 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.
