On Day 179, we learned:
A thinker is one who has an intention regarding thought, so when NTI says “you are the thinker” it means that you get to choose the intention in the mind. You can decide if attention will wander with any thought that arises, or if it has an intention to focus on truth and let other thoughts go.
Today’s reading says:
You are the Mind that Thinks…
And it encourages us to shift our attention—shift our vibration—so that we stay focused on truth.
I recommend contemplating today’s reading in this way:
- Read NTI 1 Timothy 6 slowly and contemplatively.
- Listen to this 30-minute audio, which is a review of NTI Philippians 4.
- Review the tip from Day 179.
- Read NTI 1 Timothy 6 again.
If you do not have time to complete all 4 steps in the morning, use the entire day to complete the steps. For example, complete step 1 this morning, complete step 2 around lunchtime, and then complete steps 3 and 4 this evening. Or, complete the steps in a way that fits with your schedule.
Thoughts of Awakening # 229
“I don’t know who I am”
is a helpful response
to any thought
that tries to define who you are.
Definitions are closed and limiting.
“I don’t know” opens
to potential and discovery.
“I don’t know who I am”
is a statement
that facilitates Self-discovery,
because it is a statement
that dissolves the idea
that definitions are fact.
~From our Holy Spirit
