SURRENDER

Letting go, asking for guidance.

GUIDANCE TO SELF-KNOWING

Appears in the form of a teaching to know oneself,
and if this is recognized, valued and applied, one
begins to see one’s conditioning, one’s values,
knowing what one is -- and isn’t.

SELF-OBSERVATION

A deeper practice of disidentifying from the
mechanical self and watching, watching, watching,
without judgment, condemnation, justification.

INITIATION

Only after the preparation of the first five steps does
a real initiation appear, and an initiation is an
invitation from Life to proceed. We don’t always
recognize initiation for what it really is, it is usually
sent as a new challenge, usually contains a “shock”
of some kind, and can throw us right back into the
early steps, but this time we have tools. The
essence of initiation is to find oneself in a school,
but now one knows it, can observe self and others.

DEDICATION

Making a new purpose, reevaluating, accepting the
School, appreciating its value, making up the mind
to be a student rather than a victim.

ACTUALIZATION

After some time living and re-living the first seven
steps, one changes thoroughly, transforms. The self
we once were is dead, a new one has emerged.
With this comes new talents, evidence of Wisdom.

SERVICE

The New Self realizes its purpose is to serve Life.
