On Day 170<\/a>, we saw that although people think they have many desires, awake consciousness sees only two possible desires: truth or illusion. Today\u2019s reading asks us to consider carefully which of these two we want. It also points out how we express the desire for illusion and how we express the desire for truth. The reading says:<\/p>\n

Are you thinking of the illusion of the world as if it is real? If so, you are expressing your desire to accept the veil of darkness. Is this your true desire? If not, why do you permit yourself to express it through the activity of your thoughts?<\/p>\n

Watch your thoughts. Ask them to express your true desire.<\/p>\n

How can our thoughts express true desire?<\/p>\n

Here are some suggestions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Repeatedly contemplate the Thought of Awakening and what you received from spiritual wisdom regarding the Thought of Awakening throughout the day.<\/li>\n

     <\/p>\n

  2. Review the day\u2019s tip, possibly a few sentences at a time, throughout the day. Mull over that small portion and let related thoughts come into your mind.<\/li>\n

     <\/p>\n

  3. Use the mind to ask questions of surrender like:
    \n\u201cWhat am I to do now?\u201d
    \n\u201cHow am I to see this?\u201d
    \n\u201cHow am I to respond?\u201d<\/li>\n

     <\/p>\n

  4. Use the mind to practice s\/Self-inquiry with questions like:
    \n\u201cWhat sees this thought?\u201d
    \n\u201cWhat is here now that is constant?\u201d
    \n\u201cWhat am I?\u201d<\/li>\n

     <\/p>\n

  5. Pay attention to awareness.<\/li>\n

     <\/p>\n

  6. Practice a Name of God mantra<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

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

    Your thoughts must do as you ask, because you are the thinker of your thoughts.<\/p>\n

    A thinker is one who has an intention regarding thought, so when NTI says \u201cyou are the thinker\u201d it means that you get to choose the intention in the mind. You can decide if attention will wander with any thought that arises, or if it has an intention to focus on truth and let other thoughts go.<\/p>\n
