NTI Romans 2 is the story of a wish, “What if nothing is as it was?” It tells the story of how the wish was focused on to the point that truth was forgotten. It says:

Struck with [the idea that your wish came true], you became engrossed by it. And you tossed [the truth] aside. Faced with reality and the option of fantasy, you chose to step into fantasy.

Does that mean we rejected truth?

Today’s reading says we did not reject truth. When we “tossed [the truth] aside,” we merely repressed it, and what we repress we keep. That means the truth is always with us, whether it is acknowledged or not.

When our eyes are open to truth, the idea that we could reject truth is laughable. It is seen clearly that rejecting truth is impossible. It is the one thing that can never be done. However, before our eyes have opened, we can be-lie-ve we have rejected truth. We can even be-lie-ve that we continue to do so. This untrue idea can be the source of guilt and self-condemnation. Therefore, it is important to see that it isn’t true.

Today’s reading teaches that you have never rejected truth. It has always been with you. After reading today’s reading, consider spending some time in awareness-watching-awareness. Find out for yourself if you’ve rejected truth, or if you ever could.

Today’s reading reemphasizes what we learned on Day 135. There are two scripts to choose from, one provided by ego and one provided by awake consciousness. It also points out that as we awaken, we tend to waiver between these two scripts. In one moment, we follow the script provided through intuition. In the next moment, we revert to believing thought again. However, the reading points out that this is progress. After all, wasn’t there a time when we listened almost exclusively to ego’s script?

We have made progress, and we will continue to make progress, especially as we trust intuition over thought more and more (and trust intuition over the world, which is also thought).

As we learned on Day 121, one of the things we can expect when we start following intuitive guidance instead of thought is resistance. Today’s reading reminds us how to be with resistance in order to heal it. It says:

When you find resistance in your heart and your mind, put not your trust there. When you find resistance, remember what you truly want. Rest, so that resistance will pass over you.

In other words, when you experience resistance, remember your spiritual aspiration and practice rest-accept-trust until you feel reconnected to your willingness.
