Reread carefully the previous six steps and
consider what they are asking of you, what they are giving you and how you may
further use them in the future. Then turn to your Four Pillars Review, once
again checking, checking and checking again to see if there is anything that
you need to know, if there is anything that is amiss that requires your
attention. Look and see if there is anything that is producing consistent
discomfort--any relationship or any activity that constantly reminds you that
there is a problem or a conflict. Pay special attention should you find this
during your Review.
One of the difficulties that all students of
Knowledge face is that there are not many people who have undertaken such a
preparation and so there are not many glaring examples of success. Here you
must be like pioneers that are breaking new ground and blazing a new trail. You
are not the only ones to follow the path of initiation most certainly, but the
numbers of those who have advanced are not really that great. And you are
following a new way. You are creating the pathway, so you must become strong
and have self-confidence. Be willing to make mistakes. They are important. Be
willing to experiment. Be willing to extend yourself beyond your normal limits.
It is appropriate here.

I must be attentive.

a.m. Friday, October 26, 2001 –
"I
must be attentive". Today on leave. No PC in the house, so no tyranny
there. How does the world work? Networks? Affinities – the affinities which
link us – off balanced life which connects us one to another. Sports, politics,
religion, hobbies, education.
Popular
science – education – the English enlightenment – the invisible hand – as
community – we can do nothing alone.
Cooperation
is a no brainer – why does it appear so rarely?
–
Actually, all manifestation is a cooperative venture, movement from the primal
stillness into "What if?" [Cooperation hides for its own sake.
11/11/01]
Spirituality,
I'd suggest, is the only way to understand. Where stories/drama have a
beginning, a middle and an end – manifestation does not. Today is the middle –
how long manifestation has gotten today, is how long it will go into the
future? The US is 225 years old – how long will it last? We can't picture it
ever "not being!!" Fairytales begin "once upon a time", and
and "they lived happily ever after".
Such
a life this is. I'm thankful for GCS – it has focused my life. If it was Cindy
that got me to Boulder, then was this relationship a destiny? Yes.
8:49
a.m. Make a list – do something else.
9:03
a.m. "How can I discern the presence of Greater Community forces in the
world?" The GCS work itself? Yes the contact experience reports of others?
Yes [And 1/19/02 the channeled & published ET messages.]
→Communication
and transportation to overcome geographical isolation.
9:25
a.m. A morning of contemplation. No music. No TV. No PC. This seven year cycle
– 1995 – 2002, age 49 – 56 is in its final year. The foundation is under
construction. I've made many errors in this timeframe. With GCS practice I'm on
track. I'm fortunate to be in this time and place with these resources. It is
time to return to Tai Chi – low and slow. I did not recognize the strength I
had – I was bored and stressed. I still have my health and with my back
alignment corrected I can go forward.
Front
Royal is my home, the Northern Shenandoah Valley is my regional community for
public services.
10
a.m. I am in body – I serve Knowledge – Holy Spirit in the manifestation of the
creation. I acknowledge the mystery of being in all that is. As I become
more conscious of my guidance, teachers, spiritual family and partners I am
more able to do my small part. Amen and Amen
11:02
a.m. > The regional message must be taken to the people. Readers Digest –
"I am Joe's region". → "Kentucky
Fried regions". Age 62 – I begin spreading the work full time → work up to the economic base in the next 8 years –
to 2009 Col. Sanders.
Making
progress and expressing thankfulness. 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.
