Some people get the idea that manifestation, the Fourth Principle of God, is a mistake, a creative error of hellish proportions. In yesterday’s tip, I used the terms “problem” and “solution,” which are terms that might help propagate that idea. However, today’s reading points out that from Consciousness’ point-of-view, manifestation is not a mistake. It is a beloved joy.
A “problem” is a question raised for inquiry, consideration or solution. It could be a benign curiosity. The idea that a problem is bad or that it is something that should not have happened is a mental interpretation. As an example, think of a math problem, a riddle or a puzzle. There is nothing wrong with these problems. For those who enjoy solving them, they are the source of great joy.
The idea that manifestation is bad, that it shouldn’t have happened, or that it must be escaped or eradicated through awakening are all ego distortions. Manifestation is a source of joy for consciousness. When one awakens to consciousness, one enjoys—even loves—manifestation. In fact, the purpose of manifestation is joy. Today’s reading shares that perspective.
In today’s reading, “you” is manifestation. “Every part of you” refers to every aspect of manifestation—every person, every animal, every plant, every invention, and every situation.
Today’s reading is like a love letter from consciousness to manifestation. I recommend reading it slowly, like a letter from God to its creation. As you read, keep the Loving All Method in mind. Realize that it is a practice that emulates the natural love already present in awake consciousness.
If you have trouble understanding that consciousness loves everything in manifestation, realize that consciousness does not focus on what manifestation does. It focuses on manifestation is. It is the is itself that consciousness loves.
Thoughts of Awakening # 140
Life is.
Is cannot stop.
Is cannot die.
Is is,
and Is is continually.
Release your fear of death
by releasing your fear
of the moment
now.
You seem to be fearing something,
and that something may seem to be
a reasonable fear.
But underneath the something
there is the fear
that Is isn’t,
and it is the fear that Is isn’t
now.
Notice that Is is.
Whatever may seem to be,
Is is.
Notice this fact, and rejoice.
~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
