NTI Hebrews teaches that you have matured on the path of awakening, and it encourages you to live from that maturity now. It also acknowledges that your stage of awakening is a stage in which you will sometimes slip back into ego habits. It says:
When you notice that you have awakened again from another period of slumber and dozing, go back to your practice. Do that which is natural by the maturity of your faith. Practice the state of awakening with joy.
How can you practice the state of awakening?
Reference Day 179 and Day 218 for suggestions.
Today’s reading mentions God’s promise to Abraham. We first learned about God’s promise to Abraham while reading NTI Galatians. Today is a good day to review that teaching. Reference Day 191 for that review.
Today’s reading also says:
Forgive the scenarios of your dreams. … They are images of the past.
In NTI Ephesians, we learned to see our current circumstances as a manifestation of past believing attention, and we were asked to be with current circumstances differently now. Reference Day 200 for a review of that teaching.
Thoughts of Awakening # 238
Recognize the truth
of this statement today:
“What I really want to do
is what my Heart guides me to do,
but because I listen to my mind,
I do not do it.
“I betray myself
and delay myself
by listening to a voice
that isn’t me.”
And then decide to listen differently.
Decide to listen to
and follow
the joyous Voice
of the Heart.
~From our Holy Spirit
