On Day 110, we learned:

Ignorance is not guilt. It is a call for knowledge.

In other words, every time a human does something wrong, it is an indication that one has listened to ignorance. The correction for ignorance isn’t guilt. The correction for ignorance is knowledge.

“Ignorant” means lacking knowledge or awareness in general. Its root is “ignore.”

Spiritual ignorance is not being aware of truth or now knowing what you are. It comes about because we ignore truth as we pay attention to thought and the world. Outward focus is the cause of ignorance. Inward focus removes ignorance.

Today’s reading is about truth, guilt and sin. In short, it says that only the truth is true, so sin and guilt are imagined. Sometimes this is hard for people to accept, because people believe heavily in the world, in mind-made laws and in action as something real—something that has real effects. The way to see that “guilt” and “sin” are not meaningful is to focus on truth (inward focus) over thought and the world (outward focus).

Let’s try an exercise:

1. Imagine yourself as perfectly innocent as the world defines perfect innocence. Imagine that you were born with a perfectly innocent human mind and perfectly loving human heart. Imagine that all of your life, you have only been caring, helpful and happy. You have never hurt yourself or anyone else in any way.

 

2. Close your eyes and imagine what it feels like to be innocence in this way. Feel the experience of being this innocent person.

 

3. Now, as this perfectly innocent person, move into awareness-watching-awareness meditation. As always, let go of all thoughts, emotions, etcetera, and focus attention fully on awareness. Stay there a few minutes.

 

4. Next, imagine yourself as a sinful or guilty person as the world defines sin and guilt. Imagine that ever since you were young, you have been selfish and mean to others. You have committed crimes that cause anguish for others, and you delight in the fact that you continue to get away with your crimes. There is no one you care about as much as yourself.

 

5. Close your eyes and imagine what it feels like to be malevolent. Feel the experience of being this malicious person who thrives on cruelty and taking from others.

 

6. Now, as this malicious person, close your eyes to practice awareness-watching-awareness meditation. As always, let go of all thoughts, emotions, etcetera, and focus attention fully on awareness. Stay there a few minutes.

 

7. Was the life-awareness of the malicious person different from the life-awareness of the innocent person?

If you were able to practice the previous exercise without holding onto judgment, you found there was no difference between the life-awareness of the innocent person and the life-awareness of the malicious person.

Today’s reading says:

God’s Truth has no end, and so it has not ended in you. You are the truth of God in your existence.

I have italicized “in your existence” in the previous excerpt, because existence is truth and existence is truth’s focus. Inward focus is focusing on existence, which is life-awareness. It is through inward focus that we realize truth, and it is through inward focus that we see nothing has ever changed or affected truth in any way. Every action in the world is completely meaningless and fully harmless from the perspective of truth.

Today’s reading also says:

No sin shall cross your mind, because there is no sin in you.

Some people may think, “But sinful thoughts cross my mind all of the time!”

If this is your perspective, you are still focused outwardly. Focus inwardly on awareness-watching-awareness. Thoughts are outward. Only life-awareness is inward. Illusion is outward. That is not you. Truth is inward. That is what you are.

When you focus inward on what you are, you will see that no sin crosses your mind and nothing that occurs outwardly touches you at all.

Some people get the idea that manifestation, the Fourth Principle of God, is a mistake, a creative error of hellish proportions. In yesterday’s tip, I used the terms “problem” and “solution,” which are terms that might help propagate that idea. However, today’s reading points out that from Consciousness’ point-of-view, manifestation is not a mistake. It is a beloved joy.

A “problem” is a question raised for inquiry, consideration or solution. It could be a benign curiosity. The idea that a problem is bad or that it is something that should not have happened is a mental interpretation. As an example, think of a math problem, a riddle or a puzzle. There is nothing wrong with these problems. For those who enjoy solving them, they are the source of great joy.

The idea that manifestation is bad, that it shouldn’t have happened, or that it must be escaped or eradicated through awakening are all ego distortions. Manifestation is a source of joy for consciousness. When one awakens to consciousness, one enjoys—even loves—manifestation. In fact, the purpose of manifestation is joy. Today’s reading shares that perspective.

In today’s reading, “you” is manifestation. “Every part of you” refers to every aspect of manifestation—every person, every animal, every plant, every invention, and every situation.

Today’s reading is like a love letter from consciousness to manifestation. I recommend reading it slowly, like a letter from God to its creation. As you read, keep the Loving All Method in mind. Realize that it is a practice that emulates the natural love already present in awake consciousness.

If you have trouble understanding that consciousness loves everything in manifestation, realize that consciousness does not focus on what manifestation does. It focuses on manifestation is. It is the is  itself that consciousness loves.

Yesterday’s reading presented the problem, which is judgment and belief. Through judgment and belief, consciousness appears as something—many things—other than consciousness. Judgment and belief, which is unconscious judgment, are the obstacles to the awareness of unity consciousness.

Today’s reading presents the solution:

… all you need do is unweave  your way out of fantasy. You reverse the “laws” that made it by ceasing to play the game.

How do we do that?

1. Realize we do not know anything.
2. Seek within for guidance regarding all things.

You see, when we think we know, we make judgments and decisions, and we continue to believe our beliefs, all of which is  the creative principle that makes consciousness appear as many things.

If we accept that we do not know anything—we do not know what we are, what’s true and not true, what’s in our best interest, how to awaken, and etcetera—and then we ask for guidance every step of the way, then we are not exercising the judgment that creates appearance. In this way, appearance fades and reality is revealed.

It couldn’t be simpler!

We simply keep reminding ourselves, over and over, “I do not know. I must ask.”

Forget everything you’ve ever learned, and just keep asking, “What am I to do now?” In this way, your script is delivered as intuition by awakened consciousness, and you can follow it to your point of awakening.
