Staying in the Process of Preparation

Reed Summers speaks after the public Boadcast at the 2018 Steps Vigil | Night 12 | June 6, 2018 |  Staying in the Process of Preparation

I feel how much of a process this is that, despite everything we’re doing—Pillars, advocacy, everything life-wise—that there is something happening, meant to happen, at a deeper level in terms of preparing us, moving us, advancing us in reality; not just in our thinking.

And I’ve been thinking about this process. And I’ve been finding a lot of value in my past, actually, in looking at how I have stepped out of process, you know; and why I stepped out of process. And I think, you know, going into the past and turning over every stone, if that’s what it takes, to get at the gems, the value there, has, is something I’m working with, for sure.

So, the reality that, that there is a process of preparation and it’s not defined by even observable actions, decisions sometimes; sometimes it’s just at work. And it’s easy to step out of that process—very easy, very quick—you could do it in a second. We do it every day, you know, or we do it for months or even a year.

You know, Patricia’s used the words, “Can we be self-correcting, self-directing?” And you could think, “Well, aren’t I supposed to be Knowledge-directed, Knowledge-corrected?” But this is the self-knowledge. Can I watch myself as I say things? Can I watch myself as I do things? And do I have the bank of wisdom from my past to show me what I tend to do? Or when I step out of that process?

So, I like this idea of being in process.
