Note: If desired, watch all of Acts 28 from the Visual Bible movie, Acts.
Today, we read the last chapter in NTI Acts. NTI Acts taught us to follow guidance. Through NTI Acts, you’ve learned everything you need to know in order to follow guidance through both the purification and service stages.
Today’s reading says:
Everything is up to you.
In the human experience, everything that you experience and how you experience it depends on the script you choose to follow. Both scripts, the ego’s script and the script that comes from awakened consciousness, are generated in the same way. As we, consciousness, cast attention and make decisions, the energy we choose to believe (or trust) is reprocessed in consciousness and additional script develops based on that same energy.
As we cast attention on ego’s script, ego’s script is reprocessed, developed and delivered as thought to the players. As we cast attention on the script that comes from awakened consciousness, that script is reprocessed, developed and delivered as intuition to the players. Each player always has the choice to follow thinking or intuition.
Through the choices we make, scripts continue to be written. Both the ego script and the script that comes from awakened consciousness are responsive to the choices we make. The scripts shift and adapt as we learn to make different choices. That’s why, “Everything is up to you.”
The famous “law of attraction” as it is usually understood is a distortion of this spiritual truth. When people study the law of attraction, the mind thinks it can decide what it wants and attract that specific thing or circumstance. Sometimes that appears to work. Sometimes it doesn’t. That’s because the law of love is higher than the law of attraction.
The law of attraction and whether it works or doesn’t work is part of the script. The law of love is the author of the script. Both the ego script and the script that comes from awakened consciousness are authored through the law of love.
People who put faith in the law of attraction think they can decide what they want and bring that into manifestation. However, the mind they are deciding with is itself a part of the script and has no real power since it isn’t real.
The power behind the script is consciousness (also known as love). You are consciousness, but consciousness is not limited to you. Consciousness is the whole.
As consciousness makes choices from the energies available through script, energies are reprocessed, developed and delivered as script through the creative principal. No one individual can manipulate the script. The individual itself is a product of the script.
When this is understood, we see why surrender to the script that comes from awakened consciousness is the highest choice a human can make. By making that choice, the human experience is surrendered to the highest and most benevolent energies available.
The human cannot control the script. The freedom in the human experience lies in the choice to give attention to the highest or lowest energies that are delivered through script. All experience comes from that choice.

Thoughts of Awakening # 136
The head speaks of leading.
The heart does not.
Follow in order to lead.
Today is a day of quietness,
a day of getting in touch with the heart.
Although its Voice is quiet,
it is also loud;
but the voice of the head must be quieted
in order to hear the heart.
A mere shift in listening,
which is a shift in intention and desire,
allows the mind to quiet for a moment,
so the loudness of the quiet heart
can be heard.
~From our Holy Spirit
Homework for this week
- Practice daily meditation for 30-60 minutes each day.
- Practice the “Loving All” Method.
- Thoughts of Awakening, 134-140
- Read NTI Acts Chapters 25-28 & NTI Romans 1-4
- The reading shared on Tuesday night was from The Transparency of Things by Rupert Spira, p. 157-160 Nature’s Eternity (part 2)
- Exercise: Consciouness and Existence are one. Life-Awareness. Just One. Start looking outside yourself at anything and remember this exists and consciousness and existence are one so this must be consciousness. Share that thought with yourself all week long. We’re used to seeing ourselves as consciousness and we want to start seeing everything as consciousness. If it exist, it is consciousness.
“In the Christian tradition, this understanding is expressed as, “I and my Father are one.” ‘I’ is Consciousness, that which I truly am. ‘My Father’ is the Reality of the universe, God. This expression, ‘I and my Father are one’, is an expression of the fundamental unity of Consciousness and Reality, of the Self with all things.” Rupert Spira
