CT Step 77 – REVIEW – Journal – CT Step 76

Today:  CT Step 77 - REVIEW (MP3)

Again review the past six steps, recalling your experience of them each day that you practiced them. Consider them anew and see what they are offering you, what they are telling you and how much they are freeing you from all of the forces in the world that would belittle you and hurt you.

Then return to your Four Pillars to find out if there is anything that you need to know. Out of these Pillar Reviews you will see that there are certain activities that must be carried out to strengthen a certain Pillar at a certain time. Perhaps at this time you have insufficient funds and you need to earn more money. Perhaps you need a better job. Just make sure that this is essential. Make sure that the change is really needed. Ask yourself and listen. Ask others to verify this for you, those whom you trust. Take your decision to them and say, "I think I need to do this. What do you think?" Give them the opportunity to respond. If their verification is good, they will go beyond their personal opinions and resonate from a place of Knowledge. You will be fortunate if you have such a friend or ally.

Over the course of studying Steps to Knowledge, you will see that certain of your Pillars require work, and you must endeavor to work on them. When you come back for your next Review, you will see what accomplishments you have made and what yet needs to be done. Then it becomes a matter of maintaining your Pillars. New things need to be accomplished. Perhaps things are falling apart in a certain area or certain things need your attention. This will give you an opportunity to recognize that.

You must be very strong in The Way of Knowledge. You must have a very solid foundation if you are to approach life and to approach the reality of the Greater Community.

From the journal:  CT Step 76 - I am here to serve the world.

7:25 a.m. Friday, November 9, 2001 – Experiencing balance problems. Is it the wine, the environment, or my neglected body? I will return to Tai Chi and do other strengthening work/exercise.

Mom is under great stress from those who are trying to help. Penny has become harsh in her view of the world. Maybe she was always there. Help can be debilitating. Time for stillness.

10:22 a.m. Dear Tom, It is time to focus on personal health and remove stimulants from your diet – exercise – Tai Chi and strength, mental and physical. This causes weakness which will/does limit strength to carry in the emerging message and make it available to others. Great changes are underway.

Concern about the ability to “limit strength to carry in the emerging message and make it available to others”. Other processing included. 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.
