Today\u2019s reading reemphasizes the technique of not giving energy to an ego attack when it arises. There may be a temptation to see ego resistance as a battle\u2014possibly a battle between you and the ego or a battle between you and Spirit. It is not helpful to see resistance as a battle, because then you are tempted to fight the battle or fear the battle. If you fight or fear the ego attack, you feed it with energy. Today\u2019s reading encourages us to see it as a storm, and realize that the storm is passing.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s reading also reinterprets a story about Peter and a man called Simon the Sorcerer. In the Bible story, Peter sees Simon as wicked, bitter and captive to sin. NTI points out that this way of seeing is not how the Holy Spirit sees. Peter\u2019s way of seeing comes from the wrong-mind, not the right-mind. NTI says:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">When the Holy Spirit looks at the world, it does not see holy men and men of darkness. It does not see men at all. It does not see men who are right in what they do and men who are wrong. It does not see men at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHoly Spirit\u201d is a symbolic term for spiritual wisdom. Spiritual wisdom is an aspect of the Second Principle of God, consciousness. Consciousness does not see separate people, some good and some bad, some righteous and some ignorant. Consciousness sees consciousness. Consciousness is aware of an awakening within consciousness\u2014NTI calls it \u201cthe spreading of Light within an awakening mind\u201d\u2014but consciousness is not aware of separate parts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-30454 \" src=\"https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CakeBatter-300x298.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CakeBatter-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CakeBatter-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CakeBatter.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/>To illustrate, imagine a bowl of white cake batter. Now, imagine that we want the cake to be blue, so we add blue food coloring to the batter. As we begin to stir in the food coloring, some of the cake batter is white and some is blue. As we continue to stir, more of the batter becomes blue. We see swirls of blue batter within the white batter. We do not see separate batter\u2014it is all one batter\u2014but we do see the spreading of blue within the batter. That is how consciousness sees awakening.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the white batter will become completely blue, all aspects of consciousness will awaken to itself.<\/p>\n<p>We allow ourselves to be awakened by the light that is spreading through consciousness by surrendering and willingly following intuition. That is how we are stirred. That is how the merging occurs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: The next tip will be available tomorrow morning after 3:50am ET at\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/day-116-tip\"><em>this link<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note:\u00a0 Before reading today\u2019s tip, read Acts 8:9-25 \u00a0from the Bible or watch all of Acts 8 from the Visual Bible movie, Acts.
