Here you will begin to learn the difference between fear and caution. Fear is a projection of your negative imagination upon the world whereas caution is the awareness that an error can be made. Fear and caution are entirely different experiences from one another. You need caution but not fear, for caution will not exasperate your mind or undermine your Knowledge in any way. It is part of having a healthy approach to the world if it is used with discernment and awareness.” [12]
“One of the difficult things that the student of Knowledge must learn to do accurately is to be able to discern fear, to know when he or she is afraid and say, ‘Oh, I am afraid!’ When you say that, half of your burden is gone in the moment.” [14]
Wisdom has to do with how you carry Knowledge in life, how you express Knowledge, where you share it and how you hold it in regard to yourself and other people.

security, stability and identity which we feel we are lacking. The only thing that i have to do is to see my fears objectively with self-love. -

Hello Alisa thanks a lot for your answer. ”
True development requires someone else to demand things of you, to demonstrate the path for you and to set the pace at which you must learn to travel. If you select your own path and set your own pace, you will not advance.” (WGC2.31 Concentration)”
So true Ι understanfd very well, because it is not just words but experience
”Relationship is like life itself. You pretend until you find out what it really is. You operate on your own assumptions until you release them and discover something else. It is quite evident that people’s attempts at relationship have not satisfied their difficulty with loneliness and isolation. Yet, these things can be resolved because it is God’s Plan that they be undone….
With devotion and commitment, you will be willing to do what few people will do, and you will be willing to do it with very little applause. Why? Because you must. It is this “must” that is the essence of life. People are very, very covetous of their freedom, but it has not given them anything except the opportunity to discern Knowledge….
Your intrinsic needs in this life are for true relationship, true community, true purpose and true calling. Those are your intrinsic needs. You will have them no matter who you think you are, no matter what you are trying to do or who you are trying to be. You cannot extinguish them. They are central to you. When you have received the means for answering these needs, then you will be in a position to help others do the same. Knowledge ignites Knowledge. As Knowledge is more evident in you, it will ignite others. This is an entirely natural process. from DEVOTION AND COMMITMENT
This time for me the Steps is my priority my intrinsic need and sometimes I am doing sltilness for 5 or 10 minutes during the day.Ιt’s like I’ve been vacationing I’m filling up strength and energy, but I am stil beginner.

Hello Alisa I think that its not the right topic, but I felt to answer.I am doing my second round of the Steps to Knowledge, with my husband,we did for the first time 2009-2010, it was very taught time, at that time the site wasnt like today.We tried to find some other students to talk about the steps. This time is totally different, althought I wanted to continue with Continuation Training , we took the beginning training and it was right.Yes it is very helpful to study together with others, they encourage each other and you can see other aspects.

Step 117
It is better to be simple
than to be poor.
Simplicity allows you to gain access to life and to
enjoy its beneficence in every moment. Complexity
is a state of self-disassociation which renders you incapable of
enjoying life and perceiving your role within it. This is the
source of all great poverty, for no worldly accomplishment
and no worldly possession can banish the sense of isolation and
destitution that accompanies such a disassociation.
Therefore, today practice stillness more deeply than
before so that you may experience the power of Knowledge
that is with you. Allow yourself to be simple, for in simplicity all
things may be given to you. If you are considering yourself to be
complex, or your problems to be complex, it is because you are
viewing yourself and your problems without Knowledge and are
thus lost in your evaluations. Here you are confusing things of
greater value with things of lesser value, things of greater priority
with things of lesser priority. Truth must always bring simplicity,
for simplicity brings resolution and right understanding and
establishes peace and confidence in those who can receive it.
Practice deeply today. Repeat today’s idea upon the
hour, and in your two deep meditation practices, remind
yourself that Knowledge is with you and then enter into stillness.
Allow yourself to be simple and trust that Knowledge will guide
you in all ways.
Practice 117: Two 30-minute practice periods.
Hourly practice. -
Hello Alio thanks for you answer, I fully understand what you say Alio, it happens to me many times. People came to me and ask about resolution in their health problems, if I did not know the answer, I ask them 24 hours, allways someone or something showed the answer. At that time I did not understand.
Ιt is so mysterious every day that I am doing my step new situations appear anf it is like I do practice.
It’s like a flock of birds all making a turn together in choreographic unity, a greater coordination of life. May it be more and more so as the world returns to what is natural.
