Please read and contemplate the following commentary in the same way that you read and contemplate the Thought of Awakening. The commentaries are designed to enrich your understanding of the Thoughts of Awakening.
~Commentary on Discernment~
Not acting for “me” is acting for all, because whenever “me” is absent, all is there.
One role of the mind is discernment. The mind was not made without the ability to discern. This is the height of knowing within the mind of man.
Discernment is a skill that is perfected through practice. Discernment tunes in to a pitch that is beyond the communication of mind and informs mind of the source based on its pitch.
Once the source of communication has been identified, true communication is known. This is the height of knowing within the mind of man.

Thoughts of Awakening # 156
The ego cannot be beaten.
To fight the ego
is to give it reality.
To pay attention to it
is to give it authority over “me.”
The ego is let go
by not listening to it.
“Me” is dissolved
by returning to the Heart of one.
~From our Holy Spirit
