| Today I will learn of the Greater Community. CT Step 26 |
The Greater Community is the bigger picture of your
life. It is the larger context for understanding who you are and why you are
here. It takes the parameters of your life beyond personal preference and
anxiety and places you in relationship to the world, in relationship to others,
and in relationship to the world’s evolution. This is part of the revelation
that you can receive today. And it will be a revelation because it will
liberate you from so many constraints that hurt you, belittle you and keep your
mind in a state of darkness.
Your future is in the Greater Community. Your work
is in the Greater Community. Your preparation is for the Greater Community.
That which seems so far beyond your personal and immediate concerns is the very
thing that gives meaning and direction to your life. For this is the time that
humanity begins to recognize its opportunity and its predicament within the
context of the Greater Community. And this is the time when people must learn
to prepare and to become educated about life, reality and spirituality within
the larger context of their lives.
Reinforce your desire and capacity for this today
through your one long practice in stillness and through your hourly practices
in awareness and discernment. And take time today to consider your relationship
with the Greater Community. Seek to know more. Ask to know more. Try to
penetrate the veil that keeps you from understanding life at a higher level.
Practice 26: 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.
