A universal assembly for true discernment
The Heart is not the thought.
The Heart is beyond thought,
although the Heart can speak
through thought
when one desires to find
the Heart in form.
The Heart is that
which cannot be known with thought,
although its knowing
can be expressed in thought.
When looking for the Heart
put all thoughts aside.
Feel for that which communicates
when you move into a place
of patient and willing listening.
Listen as if you are listening
for the Voice of silence within the wind.
~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.

The guidance I shared in yesterday’s tip said:
Letting go of [guilt and unworthiness] comes from the mind, since the belief that holds to the perception is in the mind. This is why I have been teaching you that the cause of guilt and unworthiness is not in the world or in anything that you experience. The only cause is belief in the mind. It’s important to remember that belief in nothing is nothing but belief.
Today’s reading reemphasizes that point.
Today’s reading likens the ‘I am bad’ belief to the busy mind. If you watch the busy mind carefully, you will find it is constantly judging you as less than your reality. The idea that you are less than your reality is the root of the ‘I am bad’ belief. Therefore, your busy mind is the cause of your sense of guilt, unworthiness, inadequacy and the like.
Today’s reading teaches a discernment practice. It asks us to “manage your mind” by using the practice it teaches. We can start by using the practice during meditation, during rest-accept-trust or anytime we want to sit quietly. However, once we are skilled at the practice, we can use it while we are active as well.
NTI 2 Thessalonians is a short section in NTI. However, what it teaches is powerful and incredibly useful. I recommend referring to NTI 2 Thessalonians frequently until you are free of the ‘I am bad’ belief completely.

You are your Heart.
When you know your Heart,
you know you.
Therefore, your search for Self
is a search inward
to the Heart,
to the true meaning and
knowing of You.
I cannot tell you what you are.
You must know it for yourself.
But if you search inward for You,
you are looking in the right direction.

Today, we are taught exactly how to heal the ‘I am bad’ belief.
You can practice these steps repeatedly until every shred of the ‘I am bad’ belief has been healed.
To help support today’s reading, here is guidance I received about letting go of the ‘I am bad’ belief:
Question: In order to feel my feelings (e.g., guilt, unworthiness) instead of repressing them, I cannot fear them. The problem is that I fear them because I still think they define me. I think they are true about who I am. How can I let go of this perception?
Answer: Letting go of this perception comes from the mind, since the belief that holds to the perception is in the mind. This is why I have been teaching you that the cause of guilt and unworthiness is not in the world or in anything that you experience. The only cause is belief in the mind. It’s important to remember that belief in nothing is nothing but belief.
To change your perception, look at this belief and say, “This is only belief.”
Call it by its name:
Not true, only belief
Be consistent and repetitive in this. That which isn’t true is coming into your mind now to be seen. This is a good thing, a great thing. Look right at it in full confidence of who you are—full trust and knowing. Don’t trust your eyes or your thinking mind. Trust only your Heart, which knows. With knowing, look at your beliefs and say, “Not true, only belief.”
It is important to practice the previous guidance with clarity and not with fear. Your underlying motive for the practice is essential to its effect. Truth realization is a different motive than the desire to avoid or escape something unpleasant.
