And yet what ignorance perceives is but a childish game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">A madman\u2019s dreams are frightening, and outward focus appears indeed to terrify. And yet what outward focus perceives is but a childish game.<\/p>\n<p>Our special theme continues, \u201cThe Son of God may play he has become a body, prey to evil and to guilt, with but a little life that ends in death. But all the while his Father shines on him, and loves him with an everlasting Love which his pretenses cannot change at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These words are symbolic. However, they point toward our unaffected truth, which is not symbolic at all. It is very real, and it is present right now.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we begin another day with clarity regarding the problem that \u201cappears indeed to terrify.\u201d That is ignoring truth, focusing outward and believing the mind\u2019s judgments. This clarity reinforces the realization that the solution to the problem is paying attention to awareness, focusing inward for intuitive guidance and ignoring the mind\u2019s judgments by practicing the Loving All Method.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let me remember what my purpose is.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s lesson says, \u201cIf I forget my goal I can be but confused, unsure of what I am, and thus conflicted in my actions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is important to contemplate:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If I am confused about what I am, my actions will be confused also.<\/p>\n<p>How might you act differently as the eternal unaffected Self than you do as an apparent personality-body-mind?<\/p>\n<p>With which identity would you experience more peace?<\/p>\n<p>With which identity would you respond more patiently and lovingly?<\/p>\n<p>With which identity would you feel more secure?<\/p>\n<p>When we were on <a href=\"https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/tips-regina-lesson-238\/\">Lesson 238<\/a>, we saw that we make decisions based on who we think we are. We could also say that we live from our identity.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s lesson reminds us to focus on our spiritual aspiration so \u201cwe may unify our thoughts and actions meaningfully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When we remember what we truly want, we are more likely to pay attention to awareness, feel inward for intuitive guidance and practice the Loving All Method. When those habits are our central focus, we are more likely to live from our unaffected Self than from the frantic personality-mind.<\/p>\n<p>If you have 30 minutes for meditation today, I recommend this meditation:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/direct-path-meditation-practice-instruction-description-y-with-tip-9\/\">AWA Description Y<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Sin?
