More Direct than ACIM; Consistent with Urantia; Do the Steps

There are a number of companion volumes which point one in the direction of seeking contact with Knowledge (holy spirit). The 365 exercises, suggesting a daily curriculum, is like ACIM. They are less intellectual in wording, but powerfully take one down a path to connect with your own life. As I write this I am on step 231 "I have a calling in this world." The process is giving me a broader perspective on life and my place in it. An ACIM reader will recognize concepts, but Steps lead one to engagement in the world - not rejecting it as an illusion. In this respect it logically carries forward from The Urantia Book which ends with an empahsis on the life of Jesus as an example of how humans could live. Steps to Knowledge is a means of self-development within a greater community which is available to all. It is a way to find your small part and contribute to the world.

This is book is a curriculum - a curriculum for living - a curriculum for Truth. Until I found this book and this teaching, I always felt that something was missing. Situations seem to arise in my life as a result of my practicing these steps and slowly I begin to see what I need to know or do to move on to the next phase of learning. It is peeling away the layers of error thinking and bringing a depth to my understanding that I have never experienced before. I've gone through it step by step at many different paces and each time an "issue" arises, the step I am on seems to be exactly what I need to know at that particular time. I highly recommend it.

This book is an inner guidence training. It helps me to learn compassion, patience, discipline, observation and concentration while giving me inspiration, a sense of purpose, wisdom and the ability to experience a greater life. It is spirituality for this time, without historic rituals but with a modern context and view of the world. The steps all tie together and each one speaks to me right where I am; they bring up my fears, limitations, mistakes and challenges.I have fewer conflicts. My life is simpler and my actions have more meaning since I've been a student of this teaching.
