On Day 96<\/a>, our tip pointed to a core problem:<\/p>\n

We may think we value truth,
\nbut what we really value is our thinking.<\/p>\n

This is why we confuse our true Self with a false self. The false self is thinking, and we value thinking to the point that we are willing to see it as what we are.<\/p>\n

Of course, Gentle Healing is a process of undoing this core problem. However, as we undo the core problem, we can\u2019t ignore the fact that we are undoing something we have willingly valued above everything else, including truth. The value we have placed on thinking is the source of our resistance to undoing. We experience resistance to the degree that we still value thinking.<\/p>\n

In other words, resistance is lighter if I don\u2019t place much value on thinking anymore. It is greater if I still place great value on thinking.<\/p>\n

The interesting thing about the level of truth that we are attempting to realize now is:<\/p>\n

It is simple, obvious and there is nothing to fear in it.<\/p>\n

The level of truth that we are attempting to realize now is the Second Principle of God, consciousness. Today\u2019s reading calls it \u201cI Am.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you take a break from thinking and simply look at the I Am presence that you are, you will see there is nothing to fear in it. You will see it is a simple, obvious fact. You will see it is naturally peaceful. You may even see that it is comforting to recognize yourself as \u201cI Am.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, why is there resistance to simply claiming yourself as you are?<\/p>\n

It is because of the value that is put on thinking. \u201cI Am\u201d is not thinking. Thinking is what today\u2019s reading calls your illusions and your imagination.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s reading provides guidance that helps us be with resistance so that resistance can be healed. Read today’s reading slowly and contemplatively. Learning to be with resistance in a way that heals it is important. As resistance heals, the value we put on thinking naturally weakens. As the value we put on thinking weakens, the awakening process gets easier, because there is less resistance as we value our thinking less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
