Our special theme refers to it as \u201cpart of the condition that restores the never lost\u201d and as \u201can invitation to God\u2019s Word to take illusion\u2019s place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, it is an important awakening, but it is not yet awakening to absolute truth.<\/p>\n<p>This may be a good time to introduce what I call, \u201cThe Four Principles of God.\u201d These principles are like a map, which depict the journey from the absolute to manifestation. The principles also highlight the awakenings that occur, which \u201crestores the never lost, and re-establishes what is forever and forever true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Four Principles of God<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>First Principle of God<\/strong> \u2013 Pure, unmanifest, life-awareness; abstract, unlimited potentiality. It is what <em>A Course in Miracles<\/em> calls \u201cFather\u201d and \u201cHeaven.\u201d It is also called Nirvana. It is the Source and ultimate truth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Second Principle of God<\/strong> \u2013 Consciousness. This is the only direct creation of the Source. In <em>A Course in Miracles<\/em> it is called \u201cChrist\u201d and \u201cthe Son of God.\u201d It is the unaffected, still witness. All things manifest are made of this principle; therefore, all things are consciousness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Third Principle of God<\/strong> \u2013 The ongoing activity of creation, which occurs naturally through the interaction of the witnessing principle with that which is witnessed. In Gentle Healing, we learned about this through \u201cThe Code\u201d and NTI Ephesians. I often call it Divine Law. It is how consciousness forms itself into the many temporary forms that make up the manifest universe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Fourth Principle of God<\/strong> \u2013 Manifestation. Everything in this realm is temporary, and so it is often referred to as a dream. It is consciousness appearing as something other than consciousness, and so it is called illusion. One who believes this is the realm of reality is referred to as unconscious, not awake, or ignorant. When this realm is seen through ignorance, it is fearful and full of suffering. When seen through clarity, this realm is miraculous.<\/p>\n<p>Today, spend some time contemplating the four principles in order to gain deeper understanding on your own. Formulate a question, which you feel will take you to a deeper understanding, and ask that question using the form of writing that we learned from Adyashanti. Write everything you think you know about your question; write to the boundary of your knowledge, and then wait for something to come that you feel is true. Seeking answers from yourself is an important part of the awakening process, and it is time for us to begin practicing that skill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where darkness was I look upon light.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s lesson points to The Four Principles of God when it says, \u201cFather, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son whom you created. Now we see that darkness is our own imagining and light is there for us to look upon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Let today\u2019s lesson assist you as you contemplate of The Four Principles of God and decide on a question to ask within.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meditation Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over that last several weeks, you have been introduced to several guided meditations including awareness-watching-awareness, loving consciousness and abandon release meditation.
