Step One Hundred and Fifty-Five


Step 155. The World Blesses Me As I Receive.
You are learning now to receive. The world blesses you as you learn to receive, for Knowledge will flow into you as you become an open receptacle for Knowledge. And you will draw that which is life into yourself, for life is always attracted to those who give.

Understand this in its full depth this day as you remind yourself upon the hour that life gives to you as you are still. In your two meditation practices, enter stillness once again and feel life being drawn into you. This is a natural attraction. As your giving and stillness become greater, you will feel life being drawn into you, for you will in time become a source of nourishment for life.

Practice 155: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly practice.

Here you will find pointers for getting started if this is your first encounter with this practice: Taking the Steps to Knowledge.

June 12, 2013 Round One: Feeling life being drawn into me is an experience beyond compare, I could even describe it as an ultimate experience, for this is what life is all about. Life is not about doing, but about being. And I feel very blessed as I receive. I am asked if I have anyone to share my Steps practice with. I do not. But I do not particularly strive for this either. In fact, it had not entered my head before that I need to share it with anyone. It is my own sacred inner journey and I don’t feel that anyone else has to know about it specifically. I am not sure I can verbalize it anyway, words do not do justice to what I am feeling and experiencing inside. Yes, indeed, I feel very blessed.

December 27, 2016 Round Two: I wish to be an open receptacle for Knowledge by keeping a positive, upbeat attitude, by refraining from judgment, by allowing Knowledge to bestow its gifts on me, by being open to receive. And yes, like the first time, I feel very blessed.

 P.S. Again it is so synchronous to be revisiting this Step again today - Day 8 of the 2016 Steps Vigil. Marshall spoke about how necessary it is in our spiritual practice to be able to stand outside the mind so that its thoughts and chaotic turbulence do not sweep us away like a tidal wave.

 P.P.S. Day 9 of the 2017 Steps Vigil. "This is a rare event, even in the Universe at large." Patricia shares Marshall's words, referring to the appearance of the New Message and the Messenger at this time.

December 3, 2018 Round Three: As I learn to receive, life will flow into me. I will become an open receptacle for Knowledge. Life will be drawn into me. This is a natural attraction. In time I will become a source of nourishment for life. I am working towards this.

Step 121. Today I Am Free To Give. You are free to give today because your life is becoming simple and your needs are being met. This frees you to give, for once you have received, you will only want to give. You will have a special practice two times today where you are to think of someone in need and then give them a quality that you wish to receive yourself. Send that individual that quality. Send them love or strength or faith or encouragement or determination or surrender or acceptance or self-discipline—whatever they need to bring about resolution in their lives. You are free to give this today, for your own needs are being met. Therefore, in each of your two practices, with your eyes closed, bring to mind individuals and give to them what you know they need. Do not try to solve their problems for them. Do not try to strengthen a preferred outcome, for you cannot usually know the right outcome for any other person. But you can always give strength of character and str...

Touch Drawing by Deborah Koff-Chapin Step 51. Let Me Recognize My Fears   So That I May See The Truth Beyond Them. Your obstacles must be recognized in order for you to see beyond them. If they are ignored or denied, if they are protected or called by other names, you will not realize the nature of your restraint. You will not understand that which oppresses you. Your life is not born of fear. Your Source is not born of fear. To be able to recognize your fear means that you must realize that you are part of something greater. Realizing this you can learn to become objective about your life and to understand your present circumstances without self-condemnation, for it is within these circumstances that you must cultivate yourself. You must start from where you are. To do this you must take inventory of your strengths and weaknesses. In your two practice periods today, evaluate the existence of your fears and remind yourself that your reality is beyond them, but that you ...

Step 197. Knowledge Must Be Experienced To Be Realized. Today I will not think that I can understand Knowledge with my intellect or that I can conceptualize the greatness of life. I will not think today that by a mere idea or assumption I can fully gain access to Knowledge itself. Realizing this, I will understand what is required of me and what I must give to my practices, for I must give of myself. You must give of yourself. You cannot merely think of ideas and hope that they will answer your greatest need. Realizing this today, repeat your practice upon the hour and in your deeper meditations give yourself completely to the experience of Knowledge. Enter into stillness. Allow yourself to be completely involved. With this you will exercise the power of your own mind on your behalf. You will then realize that you have the power to dispel distractions; you have the power to dispel fear; you have the power to dispel obstructions because your will is to know Knowledge. Pr...
