500 Days with NTI ~ Day 75
Day 75 Assignment
This evening (or tomorrow morning):
- Awareness exercise: You watched your mind for thoughts of separation. Recall one situation that stands out to you now, and write about it as if you were writing a novel. It’s possible clarity may arise as you write with awareness. If it doesn’t, remember “awareness alone is curative.”
- Read NTI Mark 2 (v1-5) thru (v8-12).
Tomorrow:
- At a time that is convenient for you, set a timer for 10 minutes; temporarily let go of thought about what is going on with your life, and settle in with the calling to go deeper within.
- Watch your mind for thoughts of attack, regardless of whether those thoughts attack someone or something outside of you or whether they are self-attacking thoughts. When you see those types of thoughts, notice the situation fully. After noticing what you notice, relax and become the superconductor as you say to yourself, “I am willing to know the Light within.”
Gentle Healing Year 1 Tip For Lesson 65 (Second Day)
Tips From Regina – Lesson 65, My only function is the one God gave me
This is the second day with lesson 65, because lesson 65 represents two important objectives:
1 – Realizing total commitment to awakening by realizing truth is the only thing we really want.
2 – Seeing that mind’s thinking is filled with other goals & desires, which distract from our commitment to awakening.
As we’ve learned from both NTI Ephesians and The Code, the thoughts that show up in our mind and seem like our personal thoughts are not really ours. They are part of the code. They are made up by totality’s deluded fascination with the dream. As totality involves itself with dream-thoughts, more dream-thoughts become manifest. We experience those manufactured thoughts as ‘my thoughts’, but they aren’t what they appear to be. That means the goals imbedded in those thoughts are not ours either.
Ultimately, it also means that we are not the character/person those thoughts tell us we are. The entire thought-driven identification is a hoax.
The word “salvation” as it is presented in A Course in Miracles means awakening from this hoax, from this deluded fascination with the dream, and awakening to our truth. It is called “salvation” because all suffering…ours, the suffering of others and the suffering of the planet…comes from the dream and is activated by attention on the dream.
Remember, the real is the father of the unreal. The unreal gets its apparent reality from our attention. The unreal seems real, because the one engrossed by it is real. It seems real because we are looking at it through our attention, which is real.
What are we? It’s time that we turn our attention from this temporal illusion to discover what we, the watcher, is.
“My only function is the one God gave me.” That function is determining the difference between what is unreal and what I am, removing attention from what is unreal and abiding as myself. Ultimately, abiding as myself—being who I am—is my function.
As you look at thoughts today and tomorrow, try to see beyond the story being presented to the content of the thought. The content is the energy that the thought represents. Is it fear? Worry? Guilt? Unworthiness? Attack? Defense? Jealousy? Control? etc.
After you notice the content, ask yourself, “Is [content] what I want?” It will be easy to see it isn’t. Then you can genuinely go on to say, “This thought reflects a goal that is preventing me from accepting my function.”

500 Days with NTI ~ Day 73
Day 73 Assignment
This evening (or tomorrow morning):
Read NTI Matthew 28 in full.
Tomorrow:
- At a time that is convenient for you, set a timer for 10 minutes; temporarily let go of thought about what is going on with your life, and settle in with the calling to go deeper within.
- Watch your mind for thoughts of separation (e.g. judging someone, feeling you aren’t as good as others, etc). When you see those types of thoughts, pay attention to the situation. After noticing what you notice, ask, “Do these thoughts come from love?” Or ask, “Is love the source of these thoughts?” Pause for a moment to see if you feel an intuitive answer to the question, and then relax and become the superconductor.
Gentle Healing Year 1 Tip For Lesson 64
Tips From Regina – Lesson 64, Let me not forget my function
It may be helpful to pick a few lines from today’s lesson that really jumps out at you, and write a few related thoughts about each of those sentences. I did that this morning after practicing the longer morning meditation. Here is my journaling:
“The purpose of the world you see is to obscure your function of forgiveness, and provide you with a justification for forgetting it.” The world presents many things to think about. I can see that the world is nothing but endless stimuli for thought. However, my purpose now is to ‘forget everything. Become the spontaneous moment and nothing else.’ I am heart-committed to my purpose. Therefore, I will recognize the world’s stimuli as temptation, and I will remember my purpose. I will do this, because I want to. I am ready to let go of endless attention on mind.
“Your function here is to be the light of the world.” The light of the world is the purity of what I am, untainted by story-focused thinking. It is the Self as it is. Nothing else.
“Only by fulfilling the function given you by God will you be happy.” The mind cannot be perfectly happy. The mind itself is fear energy. When the mind begins to wander, subtle to intense fear fuels its wandering. It promises happiness at the end of its search, but it never finds what it promises, because its basis is fear.
“Let not the form of the decision deceive you. Complexity of form does not imply complexity of content.” Every decision is one of fear or freedom. To let the mind seek for a solution is to choose the perception of fear. To watch and see how spontaneity unfolds is freedom. Fear hides being. Freedom reveals it.
