Today’s reading is brief, but it is filled with wisdom that inspires us to make a firm commitment to the motive we have chosen. A firm commitment to our motive is a firm commitment to truth. It is a firm commitment to Self. It is a firm commitment to peace and to joy.
I recommend reading today’s reading slowly and contemplatively, preferably multiple times throughout the day. It’s a short reading, so it isn’t difficult to read it more than once. You could also write down some of your favorite sentences from today’s reading, carry them with you, and review them throughout the day.
Today is also a good day to review Chapter 15 from The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer.
Immerse yourself in today’s message in whatever way feels most guided for you.
Thoughts of Awakening # 205
Be still.
Be silent.
Listen without thought.
Creation is of mind,
so it matters where the mind dwells.
The mind may dwell with thinking,
which teaches one lesson,
or it may dwell with listening,
which teaches another.
Obedience is not to be feared.
It is to be embraced,
because obedience is merely
the retraining of the mind
to listen.
To listen is to love.
The creation of experience
comes from choices
made in the mind.
~From our Holy Spirit
