Today\u2019s reading says:<\/p>\n

The world is an image in the mind, or better said, a picture-thought within the thought of spirit.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s review the Four Principles of God and see how it compares to this excerpt from today\u2019s reading:<\/p>\n

First Principle of God<\/strong>\u2013 Pure, unmanifest, life-awareness; abstract, unlimited potentiality.<\/p>\n

Second Principle of God<\/strong>\u2013 Consciousness, also known as I Am or Spirit<\/em>. It can be called \u201cthe thought of spirit\u201d since it is a thought born out of the unlimited potentiality of the First Principle.<\/p>\n

Third Principle of God<\/strong>\u2013 The ongoing activity of creation, which occurs naturally through the declarative \u00a0<\/em>interaction of consciousness with that which is witnessed.<\/p>\n

Fourth Principle of God<\/strong>\u2013 Manifestation, which is the realm of appearance (experience and images)<\/em>. In other words, \u201ca picture-thought within the thought of spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s reading points out that although the Fourth Principle isn\u2019t real, it is experienced. It doesn\u2019t take much self-honesty at all to notice that you experience the world. If you don\u2019t believe me, pinch yourself. You will experience the pinch.<\/p>\n

One reason the world seems real is because we confuse experience with reality. We think that if we experience it, that means it is real. However, you have experienced many nighttime dreams. Were they real?<\/p>\n

No, your nighttime dreams were not real.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it is easy to see that experience is not the criterion for determining reality.<\/p>\n

As we saw on Day 134<\/a>, the criterion for determining reality is unchanging existence. The world does not meet that criterion, nor does experience, because experience is always changing. (For example, you no longer feel your pinch, do you? That experience has already disappeared.)<\/p>\n

Since experience does not meet the criterion for reality, experience is not real. Clearly, the unreal is not a criterion for reality. Therefore, we cannot determine reality by experience.<\/p>\n

But, with all of that said, we still experience experience, which is why you felt your pinch.<\/p>\n

Because we confuse experience with reality, when experience isn\u2019t reality, we need another way to perceive or interpret our experience. Today\u2019s reading provides that new interpretation.<\/p>\n

Note: The next tip will be available tomorrow morning after 3:50am ET at\u00a0<\/em>this link<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
