Today\u2019s reading is the last chapter in NTI Luke. The \u201cvoice\u201d of this book leaves us with a summary of Luke\u2019s teaching before it drifts off so that another \u201cvoice\u201d can come and teach us from another point-of-view.<\/p>\n
NTI Luke has been primarily about purification, and so the summary leaves us with a reminder to practice the new habits we\u2019ve been taught with our every breath \u00a0<\/em>until purification is complete. The next book that we go into will have a different emphasis, so let\u2019s vow now that we will not forget Luke\u2019s teachings as we move forward into a different reading.<\/p>\n Even though NTI Luke was primarily about purification of that which isn\u2019t true, Luke ended its teaching with truth. Since the ego does not like truth, and those who have not yet completed purification are typically still identified with ego, Luke encourages us to continue to seek truth. Today\u2019s reading says:<\/p>\n Bow your head and check your heart\u2019s desire. Do you wish to be deceived? Do you wish to see what you have wished to see, or do you wish to see the truth?<\/p>\n The ego, being mental identification with a specific form, sees life in<\/em>\u00a0 form. It sees life in people, life in animals and life in plants. To the ego, which is mental identification with form, form is primary and life is secondary. That’s why there appears to be death. If form is primary and life is secondary, when form ends, life ends.<\/p>\n However, this is ego\u2019s distorted view based on ego\u2019s wish\u2014the wish to be something. Today\u2019s reading promises that when we are free of this wish, we will also be free of ego\u2019s distorted way of seeing. Instead of seeing form as primary and life as secondary, we will see life as primary and form as secondary. With this shift in the way we see, everything changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today\u2019s reading is the last chapter in NTI Luke.
