Gentle Healing 2 ~ Day 232 -NTI 2 Timothy 3 & 4

Let’s review how the creative principle works. When we place believing attention (faith) on thought, emotion or perception, the energy of that thought, emotion or perception is reprocessed into a new experience with the same energy. We could say that we “pray” for a particular experience by putting faith (believing attention) in that energy. For most people, experience is a repeating loop, because each time a particular energy comes into experience, they believe it. This loop has been expressed this way:

What I think, I see.
What I see, I experience.
What I experience, I think.

You can free yourself from this loop. You can:

1. Use discernment to let go of untrue thought. (Ref: NTI Ephesians 4)
2. Remember that the current perception comes from past believing, and choose to experience it differently now. (Ref: NTI Ephesians 5)
3. Experience an emotion with pure awareness instead of believing a story about it.

Today’s reading teaches the third option in the previous list.

Today’s reading says:

Let’s remember that the world is only a prop made by the mind in order to generate the experience the mind has already decided to have.

When did the mind decide to have a particular experience?

It decided to have a particular experience when it gave believing attention to a previous experience with the same energy. As today’s reading says:

The world is a prop, but the mind (believing attention) wrote the play.

The prop is magnificent as a prop, because consciousness is brilliant and free to create any experience it desires. The world is extremely effective at bringing up emotional experiences for us to experience. However, if we want to be free of the loop of experience, the way to experience experience is to experience it fully with pure awareness instead of with believing attention.

Pure awareness is a prayer for pure awareness.

Believing attention is a prayer for experience that is different from truth.

This is true, because your way of being  is creative spirit.

Beware of the temptation to blame someone or something else for your way of being. Blame can only come from believing the story or perception, and believing attention keeps one in the loop of experience.

To “heal” is to become free of the artificial loop of experience. “Healing the mind” returns one’s attention to pure awareness instead of outward believing attention.

It’s also true that pure awareness has no fear in it, so whenever we are afraid of our thoughts or feelings, we are looking at those thoughts or feelings with believing attention. Whenever we notice that we are afraid of our own experience, it’s time to drop into the heart and shift into pure awareness.

How can you do that?

Remember your spiritual aspiration.

Your spiritual aspiration is like a compass that always points to the heart. By placing your mind with your spiritual aspiration, you move attention from belief in the world to the heart’s motive. By placing attention with the heart’s motive, you move into the heart. From the position of the heart, attention can be guided by the heart, which enables you to experience an experience with pure awareness instead of believing attention.
