Step Two Hundred and Sixty-Three


Step 263. With Knowledge All Things Become Clear.
Why engage in additional speculation? Why project further blame or judgment? Why make your life more complex and more frustrating when all things become clear with Knowledge? Why make your mind more complex? Why attribute more and more qualities to yourself? Why invent new levels of thinking and being when with Knowledge all things become clear? Why project more and more distinctions upon the world? Why make the world seem so hopelessly complex and meaningless when with Knowledge all things become clear?

You have only to learn to be with Knowledge to see what Knowledge sees, to do what Knowledge does and to have the peace of Knowledge, the grace of Knowledge, the inclusion of Knowledge, the relationships of Knowledge and all that Knowledge contains, which the world cannot possibly duplicate. 

In your two deeper practices return to being with Knowledge, in humility and simplicity, in stillness and in silence. Breathe Knowledge in. Allow Knowledge to enter and fill your body. Allow yourself to be immersed in Knowledge and all things will become clear, for with Knowledge all things become clear and all questions disappear.

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

February 18, 2014 Round One: This is so perfectly simple and beautiful!

Indeed, why make things more complex and meaningless when all things become clear with Knowledge? Just step back, relax, and let Knowledge lead the way.

"Allow Knowledge to enter and fill your body. Allow yourself to be immersed in Knowledge and all things will become clear."

 Nothing could be more perfect.

April 28, 2015 Round Two: I am experiencing this with particular clarity today. Knowledge has led me to a place where my soul sings and my life is becoming entirely simplified. Nothing here is complex or meaningless, all is becoming harmonized and falling into place. This is such a different experience to a couple of years ago when I set off to a place in the country I thought I might settle, but I was full of anxiety then, and when I arrived my first thought was “What on earth am I doing here?” This time I feel no anxiety or foreboding, only a rippling of joy that runs through me. Things are boding well, I am off to a very good start!

I opened the latest post in the wonderful blog I discovered recently "A Healing Space..." called "Dissolved in the Crucible of Rewiring Tenderness."

There I read:

"The only ground left is that of a vulnerable, yet raging alive groundlessness. Anything could happen and nothing will ever be the same – that much is clear. You are utterly exposed, blown open, yet excruciatingly present to what is happening. It is so clear now that things will never turn out the way you thought they would. You are being asked to allow the old dream of 'me' to die, over and over and over again, with no idea, yet, of what will be reborn out of the ashes of integration."

Wow, this is so pertinent to me today in the context of this Step and my current experience.

March 28, 2019 Round Three: Stop complicating things by speculating, laying blame and making judgments when I only have to learn to be with Knowledge to see what Knowledge sees and have the peace of Knowledge. It can really be this simple. Just let it all go and become immersed in Knowledge, be with Knowledge in humility and simplicity, breathe Knowledge in.

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
