Summary of the Bible Story<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

In the Bible, Luke 1 is a story about Zechariah and Elizabeth, the parents of John the Baptist.<\/p>\n

Zechariah was a priest. He was in the temple burning incense when an angel appeared and said, \u201cYour prayer has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. \u2026 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens\u2026\u201d Zechariah\u2019s ability to speak was lost because he did not have faith that his old and barren wife could bare a son.<\/p>\n

According to Jewish custom, on the eighth day after the baby was born, the baby was circumcised and given a name. It was customary for the baby to be named after someone in the family. Since Zechariah could not speak, and women were not part of the ceremony\u2014women watched from behind a partition that separated them from the men\u2014the priests were about to name the baby Zechariah, after his father, when Elizabeth called out, \u201cNo! He is to be called John.\u201d<\/p>\n

The priests were not inclined to name the baby John. They said to her, \u201cThere is no one among your relatives who has that name.\u201d Zechariah motioned for a writing tablet, on which he wrote, \u201cHis name is John.\u201d When he wrote this, his ability to speak returned.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s reading in NTI is an interpretation of this story. The interpretation makes two primary points.<\/p>\n

All Are Precious <\/strong><\/p>\n

The first point is reminiscent of Jesus\u2019 teaching in the famous Sermon on the Mount. Jesus said:<\/p>\n

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. \u2026 See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is burnt up in the hot sun, will he not much more clothe you\u2014you of little faith?<\/p>\n

Bentinho Massaro defines faith as knowing all is well always, under all circumstances<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The idea of a God-being that gives and takes away is only a concept. What appears to give or take away is the script, which is written by consciousness through the Third Principle of God, the creative principle. The creative principle is not a God-being; it is divine nature. It is the natural means of manifestation.<\/p>\n

As The Code teaches, we make choices based on thoughts, emotions and perceptions that come to us from the creative principle. The choices we make return to the creative principle and write the next moment of the script.<\/p>\n

With this clarity in mind, notice that faith\u2014knowing all is well always, under all circumstances\u2014is a way of staying with the higher vibration instead of slipping into low vibrational thinking. As a high vibration choice, faith raises our vibration towards true perception. It also affects future manifestation. However, as one rises toward true perception, manifestation becomes less and less important.<\/p>\n

One difference between you and the \u201cbirds of the air\u201d is that birds live at a more consistent vibration, one that comes from the whole. They live by instinct instead of choice. You have the ability to choose your vibration. Seeing yourself as unworthy is a low vibrational choice. Having faith that you are precious and the universe cares for you is a higher vibrational choice.<\/p>\n

Two Choices<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the code is multi-layered with several vibrational options available, we are not aware of all of the vibrations simultaneously. We are aware of the vibrations that are closest to our current vibrational level. Some of those vibrations are in tune with the lower edge of our vibrational level. Others are in tune with the higher edge of our vibrational level.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s reading, that which is in tune with the higher edge of our vibrational level is called the Voice of Worth. The other voice, which is called our thoughts, is in tune with the lower edge of our vibrational level. Today\u2019s reading encourages us to trust our worth and choose the Voice of Worth.<\/p>\n

Realize that the creative principle responds to you. Cooperate with the creative principle by choosing the highest vibration available to you. Also, it\u2019s important to follow through with your choice. It isn\u2019t helpful to say, \u201cI choose faith,\u201d and then attempt to control the situation. As we have often heard, \u201cActions speak louder than words.\u201d Our action demonstrates the choice we\u2019ve really made.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

In truth, you are greater than the creative principal. You are the First Principal of God. Consciousness is born in you. The creative principal operates in you, and all of manifestation comes and goes in you. That doesn\u2019t seem true if you believe the lower vibrations of the script. Follow the higher vibrations. Following the higher vibrations is the way of \u201ctrue discovery.\u201d That is how you discover that you \u201care the One.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
