Step One Hundred and Forty-Five


Niagara Falls - I will honor the world and its turbulent forces, for to resist requires immense strength and perseverance
Step 145. I Will Honor The World Today.
Honor the world today, for it is the place you have come to reclaim Knowledge and to bestow its gifts. Thus, the world in its beauty and in its tribulation provides the right environment for you to fulfill your purpose. Honor the world because God is in the world honoring the world. Honor the world because Knowledge is in the world honoring the world. Honor the world because without your judgment you will realize it is a place of grace, a place of beauty and a place that blesses you as you learn to bless it.

Repeat your lesson upon the hour. In your two longer practice periods, experience loving the world. Allow Knowledge to give its grace. You do not have to try to be loving here, but merely to be open and to let Knowledge express its great affection.

Honor the world today so that you may be honored for being in the world, for the world honors you as you honor yourself. The world is acknowledged as you acknowledge yourself. The world needs your love and your blessings. It needs your good works as well. In this way, you are honored, for you have come here to give.

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

May 25, 2013 Round One: It is hard to honor the world when there are so many atrocities in it. To honor the world without judgment I need to close my eyes to the horrors and look only at the beauty. However, if honoring the world means feeling honored that I am here in the world, that I am here for a purpose and to learn, that I am here to give and serve, that makes it easier.

I like what Tom C writes in his Steps2Know blog for this Step: Note: “Thus, the world in its beauty and in its tribulation provides the right environment for you to fulfill your purpose.” This implies we have chosen to be here. Bad news for the claim: “I didn’t ask to be born.”

December 17, 2014 Round Two: When I look on the world without judgment, when I extend my love and blessings to the world, I can honor it. For indeed, I have chosen to come to the world to learn and expand my awareness in this physical setting, to perform my good works and give my gifts. The world provides the perfect environment for this, so how can I not honor it? When this Step tells me that God is in the world honoring the world and Knowledge is in the world honoring, how on earth (no pun intended) can I be in the world and not honor the world? I am bound to honor it if I have my head screwed on the right way.

November 23, 2018 Round Three: I am to experience loving the world, for it provides the right environment for me to fulfill my purpose. I do honor and love the world and see it as a place of grace and beauty, a place where Knowledge expresses its great affection. The world needs my love and my blessings, and my good works. Meditation - 5.07 - 5.27. In the pool of Knowledge. Wondering if I can send my recommendation to the Nobel Prize committee independently? Emphasis on how the small man can express greatness.

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
