Let’s review what we have learned through NTI Romans so far:
-
- Consciousness made a wish to experience itself as different. You are consciousness. This wish is in you and can only be healed in you.
-
- The creative principle was made through this wish as a tool to create the experience of something different from consciousness. The creative principal creates temporary manifestation through divine declaration, also known as judgment or decision. Each time we judge something, we subconsciously declare it to be real.
-
- The way to realize everything as consciousness again is to stop declaring manifestation to be real. This is accomplished by realizing you know nothing and by surrendering unconditionally to intuition.
-
- The creative principal and manifestation are not mistakes. Awakened consciousness loves and enjoys manifestation.
-
- One obstacle to realizing consciousness as what you are and what everything is, is thinking you are something different. To realize you are consciousness, practice awareness-watching-awareness.
-
- Enlightenment, or awake consciousness, exists in you now. You are not aware of it, because of the attention you place on manifestation.
-
- Both external symbols and internal spiritual wisdom are provided by your awake consciousness to help turn attention back toward it.
-
- Another obstacle to realizing consciousness as what you are and what everything is, is thinking the world is real. When you think the world is real, you keep attention with the world.
- The purpose of the world during the awakening phase is to reverse the declaration that made it seem real. Instead of declaring manifestation real, you declare it unreal as it happens. You also declare consciousness as its only reality.
Today’s reading teaches how to declare manifestation unreal. It asks us to remember that everything we see and experience is thought. Said another way, it is a product of thought, which was previously declared real, and is now made temporarily manifest.
Again, everything we see and experience is thought. We learned this last year when we studied the Code. As that message said:
The code is ideas, just as all things within illusion are ideas. The code can be seen as specific manifestations in form, can be felt as feelings or can be heard as thoughts. The best way to look at the code is as the potential driver of experience. I say it is the potential driver of experience, because code will only drive your experience if you fully believe the code. Even if you let go of your belief in the code partially, it no longer has full influence over you. The code can only drive your experience to the degree that you believe the code.
Today’s reading shares tips about how not to believe the world is real. I recommend taking notes as you read today’s reading. Taking notes will help you remember what you read so you can practice it. Your notes will also be available for easy future reference.

Thoughts of Awakening # 146
Listen only
for what you are to give.
Listening within,
placing the attention there,
tunes being
with an inner guiding force.
This force,
the inner guiding force,
is in tune with all things.
Focusing out
on the world of wants and needs
places the body
in tune with a driving force.
A driving force creates effort
and more need for driving.
A guiding force creates rest,
and an awareness of attunement.
