NTI Ephesians 2 said:
In truth, you ask of your brother through your mind, and your brother answers you exactly as you have asked.
Today’s reading goes further into that idea.
It says:
When you think you are thinking alone, you are not. Your thoughts, which are heard by your brothers, are answered through them.
In that statement, “brothers” is a symbol. It would be more accurate to say that consciousness knows the energy of every image, thought or emotion that we give believing attention to, and it creates more images, thoughts and emotions from that same energy. Through our believing attention—which is declaration—we show interest in a particular energy, so consciousness delivers more of that energy. In that way, it gives us exactly what we show interest in.
This is why all things are Love. Only Love exists. Every experience that is given you is unequivocally the gift of Love given in answer to your request for Love.
Or, as inner spiritual wisdom one shared with me:
Love is giving through spirit to spirit that which spirit requests.
The question becomes:
What energy am I asking for through my believing attention?
Followed by:
What do I truly want to experience?
I used to perceive attack in the world, whether it was physical attack, verbal attack or emotional attack. One day, when I was seeing attack everywhere, I asked inner spiritual wisdom for guidance. I was taught that what I perceived as attack was actually love.
You can read the message I received from inner wisdom that day and listen to a 30-minute teaching about that message. It may help you contemplate today’s reading more deeply.
Note: “Conscious” and “consciousness” as it is referred to in this message and audio refers to human conscious awareness; that is, being aware of me and others. It is the realm of duality. “Spirit” is used to refer to Consciousness as oneness.
Thoughts of Awakening # 198
The ego is
the idea of separation
believed.
This is all the ego is.
It is not a truth.
It is a fantasy,
a non-reality.
And it is the idea
that is the single cause
of all pain.
~From our Holy Spirit
