Note: If desired, watch all of Acts 11 from the Visual Bible movie, Acts.
Today’s reading is about authority. It is a simple reading, clear and easy to understand, unless you have an “authority problem.” If you do, today’s reading might bring up resistance in you.
It’s interesting that the word “authority” has “author” as its basis. One who feels resistance to authority might be able to see today’s reading differently by focusing on “author” in the word “authority.” Ask, “Which do I want to be the author of my script, ego or Spirit?”
As we learned when we studied The Code, everything is part of a script. Every thought that comes into your mind comes from the script (the code). The only real choice that you have as awareness is the choice regarding what you will give your attention to. Through this choice and the creative principle, more script (code) is written.
If you give attention to the ego thoughts that come into the mind, ego and its script are emphasized and reprocessed by the creative principle. If you give attention to intuitive wisdom, wisdom and its script are emphasized and reprocessed.
What do you want emphasized and reprocessed in your experience?
Choose that as your author-ity. By choosing that as your authority, and by allowing it to be your authority, you will discover where that script leads.
