Not believing ego is true practice.
True practice is the solution,
because belief in ego is the only problem.
This is why the answer can only be found within.
Although pointers are given without,
the problem and the answer are within.
To stay focused on without
is to look away from the problem
and the answer.
Look within and ask,
“What am I?”
This is a question of discernment.
True practice is taking this advice.
~From our Holy Spirit
Find a place where you will be undisturbed. If it is comfortable, put on headsets or earbuds. Relax, and enjoy this meditation.

Please read and contemplate the following commentary in the same way that you read and contemplate the Thought of Awakening. The commentaries are designed to enrich your understanding.
~Commentary on True Practice~
Intellectual knowledge or intellectual spiritual teachings are helpful only to the degree that they lead the one seeking to practice. When one is engaged in practice, one is not so concerned with intellectual understanding. One wants only to practice. This means that one’s heart has become big, or his desire for inner peace or knowledge of Self has become more full.
When one’s desire is not as full, he seeks intellectual teaching. Intellectual teaching can serve two purposes:
Intellectual teaching can be used to water desire so that it grows into more fullness and leads to practice, or …
Intellectual teaching can be used to satisfy the ego’s idea of “I am spiritual” and it can lead to more and more intellectual reading and seeking without many intervals of true practice.
True practice leads to awakening, because true practice is not believing ego. Since belief in ego is the only problem, not believing ego as self is true practice, and true practice is the solution until solution is no longer needed.

Practice this today:
Ask, “What is my desire?”
Do not think that you know.
Listen for the answer,
and remember that.
Stay with the desire you are given,
and all will be well.

You are abundance now. This has always been true, regardless of your material or experiential situation.
Most people do not realize the power of their abundance. Your abundance brings every experience to you exactly as you experience it. Abundance produces illusory experiences and provides for truth-realization, depending on where you focus attention.
That means that your choice about where to focus attention is very important. Everything that is given in manifestation and the way in which it is experienced is an outcome of attention.
Although it can seem like there are many things to place attention on, there are really only two options. You can place attention with illusion or you can place attention with truth. Your experience comes from that decision.
The good news is that you can change your mind about where you place attention. You can change your mind anytime regardless of current circumstances.
Whenever you realize that you’ve placed attention with illusion, and you want to place attention with truth, simply shift attention now. Your experience will begin to change when you shift attention, because you’ve decided to use abundance differently.
