Please read and contemplate quotes 5-8 in The Seven Steps to Awakening with your inner teacher. You may also contemplate what Regina wrote in Out of the Stillness. This will be your last quote today:

The knowledge that ignores the Self, the knower, and holds as true the field perceived, is but illusive folly. No matter how much one has learned, true knowledge is the merging of all indicative knowledge in awareness of the Self.

First, please read “How To Read the Quotes” and the Step One instructions in The Seven Steps to Awakening. Next, contemplate quotes 1 – 4 with your inner teacher. This will be your last quote today:

Even the knowledge sense-perceived of the world without has for its ground the Self above. To search for knowledge somewhere else apart from That is but to grasp the shadow, but not the substance.

For an example of what contemplation might look like, reference Regina’s contemplation in Out of the Stillness: Realizing Non-Dual Truth One Step at a time.

Today, please read the Introduction in The Seven Steps to Awakening. Read with your inner teacher by seeking clarity regarding what you read. You may stop reading at the subheading titled, “How To Read the Quotes.” We will read that section tomorrow.

Here is a quote from today’s reading:

“People often study spiritual teachings just because they find the concepts interesting. They like to discuss the teachings, argue about the teachings, think about the teachings, go on and on asking questions but missing the answers, etc. Most people fail to distinguish between that which is essential and that which is merely a distraction and detour, like a group of people who meet in an automobile once per week to discuss various maps without ever putting the key in the ignition and without ever moving the car even one inch.”
