For the next several days, we will take a break from NTI to read and contemplate commentaries that support the current day’s Thought of Awakening. The commentaries are from Thoughts of Awakening: 365 Thoughts for Contemplation.
Please read and contemplate each commentary deeply, in the same way that you read and contemplate the Thought of Awakening. Each commentary is a gem in the treasure chest of spiritual wisdom.
~Commentary on the Inner Guiding Force~
The inner guiding force is birthed from silence, which means “not thinking.” It is described as a prodding or nudging, because it moves to action without reason or justification. It leads to non-action without telling why.
The inner guiding force is a guiding force and not a forcing force, because the guiding force requires (or respects) your cooperation. It does not ask of you that which you do not want to give, and if you want to give what it does not ask, it surrenders and rearranges itself in response to you. It this way, it is a perfect leader, because it leads as it would have you follow and it follows as it would have you lead.
The inner guiding force is discussed as if it is a separate force, but it cannot be. It is the perfect attunement of the allness as oneness, because the oneness is allness and the allness is one.
You cannot go against the will of the inner guiding force, because the inner guiding force provides in response to you. And yet, you cannot know the fulfillment of your part as the inner guiding force unless you listen as it listens and act as it acts.
Through being one with the inner guiding force, you know yourself as one with it.
Through driving the inner guiding force, you experience yourself as separate, and yet you are experiencing yourself in a way that can never be true.
