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 317. I Need But Relinquish My Ambivalence To Know The Truth. How simple it is to know the truth when the truth is truly desired. How easy it is to recognize ambivalence and to see its devastating impact upon your life. How simple it is to see the evidence of ambivalence in the world around you and how it undermines the deeper inclinations of all who dwell here. Seek, then, escape from ambivalence, for this is confusion. Seek, then, escape from the burden of constant decision making and choice, for this is a burden. The man and woman of Knowledge need not burden themselves with constant deliberation of what they must do, how they must be, who they are and where they are going in life, for these things become known as each step is anticipated and taken. Thus, the great weight that you carry in the world is released from your shoulders. Thus, you begin to trust yourself and the world. Here peace is possible and assured even for those who are active in the world, for they ca

Step 312. There Are Greater Problems For Me To Solve In The World. Many of your personal problems will be resolved as you give yourself to a greater calling. Some of your personal problems you will need to attend to specifically, but even here you will find that their weight upon you will diminish as you enter into a greater arena of participation in life. Knowledge gives you greater things to do, but it does not overlook any detail of what you must accomplish. Therefore, small details and great details, small adjustments and great adjustments are all included. Nothing is left out. You yourself could not possibly balance your preparation in this respect, for you would not know how to establish your priorities between what is great and what is small. Your attempt to do so would merely push you deeper into confusion and frustration. Be grateful, then, that you have been spared from attempting the impossible for yourself, for what is real is given to you. What you must do is bec

Step 315. Today I Will Not Be Alone. Today do not be alone. Do not isolate yourself in your fear or in your negative imagination. Do not isolate yourself in your fantasies. Do not think you are alone, for this is a fantasy. Today do not be alone. Realize that those who are with you are not persuaded by your errors or dismayed by your failures, but recognize your true nature and your Knowledge. Those who are with you today love you without exception. Receive their love, for this will confirm that you are not alone, and this will confirm that you do not wish to be alone. Why else would you want to be alone except to hide your pain, your sense of failure and your sense of guilt? These things which are the result of your separation only isolate you further. Yet, today you are not alone. Therefore, choose not to be alone, and you will see that you have never been alone. Choose not to isolate yourself, and you will see that you are part of life already. Confirm this upon the hour a
