I have a mission in my life to fulfill. Continuation Training Step 79


I have a mission in my life to fulfill. CT Step 79 (MP3)

I have a mission in my life to fulfill. CT Step 79
This is most certainly true, but it exists so far outside the boundaries of people’s concerns and preoccupations that most people simply cannot gain access to it in any way at all. They are so given to survival and gratification that they cannot see anything else. They are intoxicated with themselves and with those things that they use for their own self-avoidance. They can only be led by powers that are beyond themselves. They are helpless to resist.

Yet for you the idea of having a mission is something that is beginning to become real or you would not have progressed this far in the curriculum. Though you are still a beginning student of Knowledge, you are starting to have a foundation, and that is real. That is worth so much.

Remind yourself today that you have a mission in life to fulfill, but leave that mission undefined. In your practice in stillness and in your hourly practice, exercise your authority by entering those practices with real determination. This is an expression of your mission. If you cannot prepare for it, you cannot receive it. Therefore, your mission now is to prepare so that you can receive.

Practice 79:    One 30-minute stillness practice.
                         Contemplation practice.
                         Hourly practice.

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
