Note: If desired, watch all of Acts 18 from the Visual Bible movie, Acts.
Yesterday we learned that there are no sides in consciousness. Regardless of appearances, everything in the Fourth Principle is:
Consciousness interacting with consciousness so that consciousness can heal and awaken to itself as consciousness.
Your function as an aspect of consciousness that has been guided to this point in NTI is to be a healing/awakening point of consciousness.
Instead of thinking of yourself as a person, as “Sally,” “Harry,” or whatever your name is, think of yourself as a healing/awakening point of consciousness.
Here’s an image to help explain your function:
Imagine consciousness as light. Within this light, there is movement—light moving within light. There are also dark clouds within the light.
You are like a mini-cyclone of light within this bigger movement of light. You are a healing/awakening point within the light.
Other aspects of light are darkness catchers. These other aspects of light move around within the light, catch the darkness within consciousness, and then toss it to you.
When darkness is tossed to you, it magnetically connects with any belief in darkness within you. When darkness connects with belief in darkness, you feel it. When the feeling occurs, it means that it is time to get to work.
As a healing/awakening point in consciousness, you do not react to darkness as if you are a person. You remember that you are a healing/awakening point in consciousness. You rest-accept-trust, and let the feelings be. As you do nothing, your natural light cyclone cleanses the light of darkness, just like the agitation and spin in a washer cleans clothes.
As you rest-accept-trust, imagine yourself as the outer frame of a washing machine, which stands still as the cleansing action occurs inside of it.
When the light is perfectly clean, the cleansed light moves out into the light, mixing with and spreading within the entire light.
In other words, as you appear to heal and awaken as an individual, all of consciousness is healing and awakening with you. You are a point in consciousness that helps the whole to awaken by performing your function as a point of healing/awakening.
Some of the other people that you meet, hear about or see on the news are working with you in awakening by gathering darkness and tossing it to you.
For example, when you feel upset by something you see on the news, those characters in the news story are gathering darkness and tossing it to you, the viewer. It’s all one function of scooping up darkness and cleansing it. All you have to do is remember your part in this process. The way to remember your part is to stay internally focused on spiritual intuition. Spiritual intuition is the guide for all healing/awakening points in consciousness.
How do you know that you are a healing/awakening point in consciousness?
You know, because you have been guided to the teachings that train you to do your job.
Thoughts of Awakening # 126
The center of the universe is one.
The outer realms are expression of that one.
In this way, the outer is one also.
Go within,
quietly and powerfully,
to the center of you.
Although you may seem to find nothing,
you have now touched the birth place of all.
Ask it,
the center which is All,
what you are to do.
And trust what comes
as harmony.
~From our Holy Spirit
