It is the belief that spawns the \u201cI am bad\u201d belief, which is the source of guilt and unworthiness. Sin is the belief that causes fear and the perception of death.<\/p>\n<p>Since sin is forgetfulness, the answer to all problems caused by sin is remembrance. In other words, the answer to all problems is truth realization. (Reference <a href=\"https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/day-110-tip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Day 110<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s reading says:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, because a quiet life is a godly life in which you hold, within your mind, that the process of life <em>is \u00a0<\/em>God.<\/p>\n<p>If you investigate stories of awakening, you will find that many who have awakened have spent long periods of time alone in nature. When one is alone in nature with a contemplative spirit, one may realize that life is supreme and manifestation is temporary. Seeing that life is supreme and life is one\u2019s true nature is truth realization.<\/p>\n<p>Awareness-watching-awareness is another well-known way to reach truth realization, since life and awareness are one.<\/p>\n<p>A busy or distracted life, where attention is constantly focused outward, does not support truth realization. It\u2019s helpful to find time for deep reflection and meditation. There are a number of ways to do this. You can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set aside time in your schedule that is specifically dedicated to reflective contemplation and meditation.<\/li>\n<li>Take retreats away from your daily routine. Go someplace for the sole purpose of reflective contemplation and meditation.<\/li>\n<li>Use practices\u00a0that keep your mind turned inward as you go about daily activity. (For example,\u00a0the practices taught in <em>The Teachings of Inner Ramana<\/em>.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, commit to being the Self instead acting like the false self. <em>Live as<\/em> your Self.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Make a commitment to peace, and live from peace.<br \/>\nOr make a commitment to happiness, and live from happiness.<br \/>\nOr make a commitment to gratitude, and live from gratitude.<br \/>\nOr make a commitment to acceptance, and live in acceptance.<br \/>\nOr make a commitment to love, and love everything as it is.<\/p>\n<p>Note: The next tip will be available tomorrow morning after 3:50am ET at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/day-220-tip\"><em>this link<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the definitions of \u201csin\u201d in Merriam-Webster\u2019s dictionary is \u201ca vitiated state of human nature in which the self is estranged from God.\u201d Today\u2019s reading says: Sin is only forgetfulness.
