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

My strength is called for in the world. Continuation Training Step 78

My strength is called for in the world. CT Step 78 (MP3)

 My strength is called for in the world. CT Step 78

Your strength is called for in the world, most assuredly. But do you have the strength? Do you have the wisdom? Are you ready? Can you respond? Can you deliver what you came here to deliver? Can you recognize those people who are essential for you to know and to associate with? And can you look past those who are not essential for you to know even though you may feel great affection for them?

A relationship is only as good as the strength that its participants bring to it. It is the sum of your accomplishments. Your relationship with others, your primary relationships, reflect this. Your relationship with the world reflects this. You can even have a dysfunctional relationship with the Creator, and in fact this is quite common. What is the strength you bring to this relationship? What kind of discernment do you bring here? The world is calling for your strength. This is a relationship with the world. What is your responsibility here?

People say they have a calling or they want a calling in life, and perhaps they will dream of it and desire it, but are they ready? Only the Wise will know. That is why the real Spiritual Teachers, the Unseen Ones, and even those who are still in physical life, do not show up everywhere giving everything to everybody. Perhaps they are not the popular teachers that are out there disseminating the "Ancient Texts" or the "Secret Teachings" to the general public. The more advanced the teacher, the more discernment they must have, the more care they must use regarding students and the more discrete they must be about what they know and what they can do.

The world is calling you, but are you ready? Life is ready. The world is ready. Are you ready? Do you have strong enough relationships? Do you have the self-confidence? Ask yourself these questions today.

In your practice in stillness, simply be still and listen so that you may become stronger. Exercise this strength upon the hour when you are out in the world to see where you are and what is happening. Stay in contact with yourself so that you may become strong in every situation that you enter.

Practice 78:   One 30-minute stillness practice.

                         Contemplation practice.

                         Hourly practice.

Picture:  We can feel quite small in a big world, like this delivery vehicle driver at a big construction project in Beijing, China, yet our strength is called for.

… return to your Four Pillars …Ask yourself and listen. REVIEW Continuation Training Step 77

… return to your Four Pillars…Ask yourself and listen. REVIEW CT Step 77 (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.

Practice 77:    Four Pillars Review.

                         Hourly practice.
