Tips from Regina ~ Day 199, NTI Ephesians 4

August 10, 2018 By Regina Dawn Akers

Jesus once said:

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. ~ Matthew 7:12

Today’s reading explains the deeper meaning of that teaching. It says:

Therefore, give as you would receive. Give to the mind that which you would receive of spirit, for they are one. That which you give you must receive, because the mind is the spirit. The mind is the great receiver and spirit, the great deliverer. But spirit receives as mind receives, and mind delivers as does spirit.

“Spirit” is synonymous with consciousness. The “mind” is synonymous with manifestation, which includes thought, emotion, and perception.

The reading says, “mind is the great receiver.” That means that manifestation is an effect. The thoughts that come into the mind are the effect of a cause. The emotions that you feel are the effect of a cause. Everything that is perceived through the senses is the effect of a cause.

Spirit is “the great deliverer.” That means that spirit (consciousness) is the cause. To fully understand this, it’s helpful to look at yourself and your experience.

When you are worried about something, annoyed by something, frustrated by something, etcetera, what are you actually doing?

If you look very carefully, you will notice that whenever you are upset, you are giving believing attention to a thought, emotion, or perception.

What is attention?

Attention is made of consciousness. That means attention is  consciousness. Therefore, it is spirit.

When you give believing attention to a thought, emotion or perception, you enliven it with consciousness. In that way, you deliver that particular energy through the creative principle to consciousness as manifestation. The energy is reprocessed and manifests as thought, emotion, and/or perception.

Believing attention is declaration. It is  judgment. It is the mechanism that creates experience.

Believing attention comes through the combination of mind (believing) and spirit (attention), which means the two are equally part of the process and cannot actually be divided. Any apparent division in the explanation is for simplification purposes only.

One who sees himself as a person who is subject to the world and his experience reacts to thought, emotion and perception as if it is real, which is  judgment and continues the manifestation of illusory energies.

One who sees himself as the creative process chooses his way of being  (discernment) by remembering that his way of being is creative spirit.

On Day 183, we learned:

To give is to allow truth into the creative principle by not clogging the creative principle with untruth.

The purpose of consciousness now is awakening to itself as consciousness. That is the current evolutionary motion. (Reference Day 195.) One who realizes this and also realizes that he is the creative principle will be at peace in all circumstances—be empty awareness or be with a rested mind—so that the fog of illusory experience can clear, and consciousness can see itself as itself.

When one is at peace or actively resting away from believing (rest-accept-trust), one isn’t clogging the creative principle with illusory energies. That reduces distraction, which helps that one and the whole to receive insight, guidance, and to see with true perception. True perception is realizing consciousness as consciousness instead of thinking it is the many things that are perceived through the senses.

Note: The next tip will be available tomorrow morning after 3:50am ET at this link.
