I have a gift that I share with others. CT Step 80 (MP3)

| I have a gift that I share with others. CT Step 80 |
Your great gift is meant to be given in conjunction
with the giving of others. You do not get to be a superstar in reality. Your
contribution comes through relationship. You have part of the gift. They have
part of the gift. You give together. It is your relationship that gives and
makes the giving possible. This serves as a perfect antidote to all personal
ambition and self-glorification. Even the advanced man or woman of Knowledge
represents relationship. Without this relationship--with the Unseen Ones, with
Knowledge, with others--their gift would only be a potential. Yet they have
built the relationships. That is why they have advanced.
You are building the relationships. That is why you
have the promise of advancement. Your giving is shared with others. This is the
key. Find the others that have the other part of your gift and become united
with them. Bring into these relationships all that you have learned and allow
others to teach you more. This will generate real humility. Real humility is
the recognition that you understand the nature of power and its expression in
the universe.
Exercise this today in your practice in stillness
and in your hourly practice. Exercise the awareness that a Greater Power is
working in your life, that you are working in your life and that everything is
working together. It is towards this that you are working today and every day
as you practice as a student of Knowledge. You have not achieved this balance
yet, but it is growing. Each step in this direction gives you strength, power
and confirmation, which are the elements that redeem you to yourself and to the
world.

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
