“If you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the alter and go; first be reconciled to your brother and then come and offer your gift.” Matthew 5:23-24
“Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.” Hermann Hesse (Siddhartha)
“Truth comes to an innocent mind as a blessing and a sacrament. Truth is a holy thing because it liberates thought from itself and illumines the human heart from the inside out.” Adyashanti (My Secret is Silence)
The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament (NTI) is a scribed interpretation of the New Testament that teaches oneness as the only truth and surrender as the practice that leads to spiritual enlightenment. NTI has been described as a loving approach to letting go of ego. It leads us to direct experience of truth by teaching us how to release the obstacles that block that experience.

“Wisdom is being in the void. To be thoughtless. Only by being in the void can the light come through. As long as I have something going on in my mind the Light can’t come through. The Light can only come in when the mind is clear – – in a state of silence.” Hew Len, Shamanic Wisdomkeepers.
Gina Lake reads a passage from one of her channeled books:
The Jesus Trilogy
A Heroic Life
In the World but Not of It
This is either followed with a talk by her or a channeled session with Jesus, about the passage.

“Just as a bright sun causes ice cubes to melt, in the moments when we feel connected and kind, we create a warm environment that encourages others around us to relax and open up.” Tara Brach (Radical Acceptance)

“The more that we can take the time to do things that bring us to center such as meditate, dance, sing, and spend time in nature, the easier it is for us to distinguish that quiet ever-present whisper in our lives.” Jana Hexter (Forget about ‘Tapping into Your Intuition’)
