Day 190 Assignment

This evening (or tomorrow morning):

1. Read NTI John 2 in full.

   “If you see darkness within the world, it is darkness you have asked to see. If you witness the Light, but do not know the Light within yourself, this is the welcome you have given it. If the Light seems with you at times and absent at other times, your welcome is not yet consistent. And if you know the Light in all that you see and experience, you have opened yourself to it, and it has enveloped you.”
   (a) Based on how you experience the world, what do you feel is the welcome you have given the Light?
   (b) Are you satisfied with that or would you like to increase the welcome you give the Light?
