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 Experience ~
How does one choose a different experience? One must understand that experience does not come from form or circumstances within the world. Experience comes from one’s understanding or interpretation of circumstances.
In other words, experience does not come from That Which Is. Experience comes from how one chooses to see that which is in appearance now.
Experience is a temporary manifestation. Experience is never lasting. It is not eternal. But experience can be a communication of the eternal when the eternal is all that is desired to be seen.
When one has an experience that is not communicating the message of eternal love, freedom and gratitude, one must realize that through that which is eternal, one is choosing to see a different manifestation.
Since all manifestations are temporary, it requires only a change in desire in order to see there is a different way to see.

Thoughts of Awakening # 216
This is the meaning of “let go.”
When you are having an experience
that is not communicating God,
you are blocking the experience of God
by holding onto your choice
for another experience.
Let go.
Release that which you are believing.
Do not fear that which you are feeling.
Relax into the experience as it is,
and let go.
When you let go fully
and free fall into an experience without fear,
the experience must pass
because you are no longer
holding it in place.

- Practice the “Loving All” Method.
- Thoughts of Awakening, 211-217 including Commentary on Desire (with 211), Commentary on Gratitude (with 213), Commentary on Happiness (with 215), & Commentary on Experience (with 216)
- Read NTI Collosians 1-4 (No NTI reading on days 211,213,215, or 216).

- Exercise is the What is Constant game. As changes seem to occur in your daily life, ask what is constant? If you are mad at someone now, ask what is constant. What is the same now as it was earlier that morning? Even ask, what is the difference between experience and non-experience?
