Does it matter how we be prior to awakening?
NTI does recommend specific ways of being as we walk this path of awakening.
Why does how we be matter?
Because our way of being either supports and reinforces ego or it ignores ego. The way of being that ignores ego is most helpful in the process of awakening. The way of being that ignores ego abides by conscience and inner spiritual wisdom.
We were first introduced to the importance of our way of being on Day 2 when kindness was emphasized as a way of being. Recently, NTI Romans 16 highlighted ways of being including patience, trust, humility, honoring others and being discerning within our own minds. Today’s reading also focuses on ways of being.
Just as you did on Day 159, takes notes on the ways of being presented in today’s reading. As you do, contemplate the importance of being in a way that emulates the true Self instead of bolstering ideas of division, self-will and self-centeredness. If it feels right for you, review your notes from Day 159 as part of this contemplation.

Thoughts of Awakening # 175
When you look at an idea
that is false,
look at it until you know
it is false.
Do not let yourself say,
“This idea is false,”
when in truth
you believe it is true.
Hold the idea in your mind
for the purpose of looking at it,
trusting that it is false,
until you see it is not true.
When your own recognition
sees the falseness of an idea
that isn’t true
the idea and its mesmerism
will begin to fade away.
~From our Holy Spirit
