We are going to learn not to listen to the mind, first, by listening to another Voice, which speaks through the mind, but does not speak from mind, for mind or with mind.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, \u2018mind\u2019 is mental conditioning (programming).<\/p>\n<p>Humans have come to rely on mental conditioning as if it is their survival mechanism. Unfortunately, the basis of mental conditioning is wrong\u2014the idea \u2018I am a person in a world\u2019. Since the basis of mental conditioning is wrong, mental conditioning as an interpretive mechanism is entirely unreliable. That\u2019s why thought, perception and emotions are unreliable.<\/p>\n<p>If mental conditioning knew \u2018I am consciousness having a temporary human experience,\u2019 it would interpret differently. That interpretation would be right interpretation, and it would lead to true perception. However, mind is unable to <em>know\u00a0<\/em> \u2018I am consciousness having a temporary human experience.\u2019 Mind can have that thought. That thought can be learned and programmed into the brain, but that thought is not knowledge, because <em>being is knowing<\/em>, and mind cannot be. Only life-awareness can be.<\/p>\n<p>The genuine experience of true perception comes from you (life-awareness) beyond conditioning.<\/p>\n<p>You cannot be a slave to conditioning and know yourself as beyond conditioning too. You need to free yourself from conditioning in order to know true perception.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s reading says:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">We are going to learn not to listen to the mind, first, by listening to another Voice, which speaks through the mind, but does not speak from mind, for mind or with mind. This Voice can see mind and it sees all that mind sees when it looks through mind, but it is outside of mind, so it is not confused by reality.<\/p>\n<p>Spiritual intuition comes from knowledge, which is beyond mind, and yet it sees and understands the conditioning of mind. It knows the faces that you perceive as your family members. It knows their names. It can utilize the programming that steps on the brake when you see a stop sign, and etcetera. Yet, it is fully aware that you are not a person in a world. It is the knowledge of consciousness, and it sees with true perception.<\/p>\n<p>Intuition is the Voice of wisdom. It comes from knowledge, and it utilizes the brain, so it is fully trustworthy. However, until you are free from believing mental chatter, intuition will seem like something other than you. You can see it as your Higher Self, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Ramana, or any other helpful symbol, but as long as you are even a partial slave to conditioning, it is better to see intuition as your guide than to see it as yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Mental chatter is very tricky. Mental chatter will take the idea, \u201cIntuition is you beyond conditioning,\u201d and distort it into \u201cI am the will that is beyond mind.\u201d Once you adopt that idea, you will not use surrender to discern between mental chatter and knowledge that comes from beyond mental chatter. Once you believe, \u201cI am the will that is beyond mind,\u201d mental chatter is in control again, because it is viewed as the right-mind (at least somewhat, which is enough to keep mental chatter in control as \u2018me\u2019. Reference <a href=\"https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/day-286-tip\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Day 286<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Intuition comes from you beyond mind, but the mind and its ideas, its perception and its will are <em>not \u00a0<\/em>intuition. That\u2019s why you need to surrender.<\/p>\n<p>Begin practicing surrender as it is taught in today\u2019s reading. Also, continue to practice the mantra. These two practices used throughout the day help to break the addiction to mental chatter.<\/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-297-tip\"><em>this link<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Day 286, we learned that awareness programs the brain through a process called \u201clearning.\u201d Some of what is learned and programmed into the brain is helpful to the experience of being human, like \u2018drinking water is good for the body\u2019, and \u2018drinking floor cleaner harms the body.\u2019 However, a lot of what is learned [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[101,88],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-34711","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-gentlehealingtips-year2","7":"category-sidebar","8":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
