* To have all, give all.
(Only the mind can be real, because only the mind can be shared. You do not lose what you communicate. H.S. does not take anything back because He wants you to keep it.)
* To have peace, teach peace to learn it.
(This is a positive affirmation of what you want; moving in the direction out of conflict.)
* Be vigilant only for God and His Kingdom.
(This emphasizes the division between the desirable and undesirable; therefore making the final choice inevitable. This step calls for consistent vigilance against conflict. Consistency and chaos cannot coexist for long, since they are mutually exclusive. By teaching what to choose, the H.S. will ultimately teach you that you need not choose at all.)
You learn first having rests on giving and not on getting. 2nd you learn that you learn what you teach, and that you want to learn peace. This is the condition for identifying with the Kingdom, since it is the condition of the Kingdom. 3rd step is thus one of protection for your mind, allowing you to identify only with the center, where God placed the altar to Himself. Altars are beliefs, but God and His creations are beyond belief because they are beyond question [doubt].
The 3rd step is a statement of what you want to believe and entails willingness to relinquish everything else. Your vigilance is the sign that you want Him to guide you.
