NTI Revelation 1 is one of my favorite readings in NTI. It provides simple clarity to help us avoid common pitfalls on the spiritual path. If we remember its wisdom, we can walk the “narrow path” to enlightenment without detours or delays.

For example, consider how many people throughout history have idolized Buddha and Jesus, or how many people idolize Mooji or A Course in Miracles  today.

Today’s reading says:

Do not idolize anything within the world or any symbol that is sent to lead you from the world. Hold to them as they are useful, but let them go when their usefulness has past. You are to keep moving by letting go  until you find yourself with nothing left to hold onto.

Idolizing any figure, scripture or theology is a delay on the spiritual path. Identifying with the idea that you are a spiritual person is another delay. Using the Law of Attraction to get happiness in the world is a detour from the spiritual path.  Believing that health is better than sickness, riches are better than poverty or that poverty is better than riches are also detours.

Pay attention to what St. Clare of Assisi said:

Never forget that the way which leads to heaven is narrow; that the gate leading to life is narrow and low; that there are but few who find it and enter by it; and if there be some who go in and tread the narrow path for some time, there are but very few who persevere therein.

Since today’s reading provides guidance about how to walk the narrow path without delays or detours, I recommend taking notes as you read.

On Day 263, I wrote:

You cannot read today’s reading from the idea, “I am a person,” and understand it. “I” cannot mean “me and not others.” “I” must mean consciousness, and it must include all things in manifestation as  “I,” or the meaning in today’s reading will be lost.

That’s true with today’s reading too. Today’s reading is not talking to Bill or Harry or Sally, or anyone else with an individual name. Today’s reading talks to consciousness, which misperceives itself as Bill and Harry and Sally, and every other apparent individual. However, the point of the reading is this:

There are no individuals. It is one consciousness appearing as many, just as one heating system blows through many vents to heat several different rooms in a house. It is all one heat. In the same way, the consciousness that enlivens many different personality-minds is all one consciousness.

As Jesus said in the Book of John in the Bible:

In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” ~ John 14:2-4, English Standard Version

Likewise, today’s reading says:

I have come to help you remove your faith from the illusion, which you have believed in until now, and place it firmly with one mind (consciousness), which is not separate. With your faith placed in the one mind, you can look at the one mind, see the beliefs that have been accepted there, and then choose to use the one mind to peacefully see another way.

Choosing to look at the image of the world as the reflection of consciousness while abiding with attention on truth is how we “prepare a place” for consciousness, so that it may come and be “where I am.”
