Step 21 Review

"Step 21

Review"

"IN YOUR THIRD REVIEW, review all the lessons of the past week and the results of those lessons. Practice today not making any conclusions, but simply recognize the line of development and take note of the progress that you have made thus far. It is too early to make genuine conclusions, though it may be very tempting to do so. Beginning students are not in a position to judge their curriculum. This right must be earned and comes later if you wish for your judgments to have true effect and to be wise.

THEREFORE, IN YOUR ONE PRACTICE PERIOD, review the last section of practice and all that has been experienced thus far.

Practice 21: One 45-minute practice period."

Well this third week has been a deep and insightful one for me. Steps 15-20 had their own progression, where I began with listening to experience, moved beyond my own mind, to knowledge, heard the truth, felt the truth within myself, I saw, and I progressed regardless. Not easy, by any means, but certainly a moving week. I feel different already, more peaceful, more able to summon stillness.

"STEP 15:I shall listen to my experience today.

STEP 16:Beyond my mind is Knowledge.

STEP 17:Today I want to hear the truth.

STEP 18:Today I feel the truth arising within myself.

STEP 19:Today I wish to see.

STEP 20:I will not let doubt and confusion slow my progress."
