Yesterday we learned that we transcend the temptations that occur during the seventh step to awakening by learning to make choices with inner intuition. This is hard for most humans, because most humans make decisions through judgment.

Today, we are going to learn more about judgment. By examining judgment carefully, we will learn to notice it more easily in ourselves. Then, when we notice we are making a decision by using judgment, we can drop our judgment, empty our mind, and ask within for intuitive guidance.

Today, you will use the tip differently. The tip will guide you through the reading and through a journaling experience. See today’s tip as a teacher who is telling you what to do when. As you complete each step, return to the tip to find out what you are to do next.

1. Read Revelation 13:1-4 in the Bible.
2. Read NTI Revelation, Chapter 13 (v1-4), and then return to the tip.

When NTI says, “The beast that comes out of the sea is your judgment against your Self,” it means it is your judgment against consciousness. Whenever you judge anything, you judge consciousness, because all things are made of consciousness.

Most people can let go of judgment in some situations, but very few people are willing to let go of judgment in all situations. However, whenever we rely on judgment, we identify with the mind as “me,” because we believe its thoughts are “my thoughts.” That means whenever we judge anything, we believe we are a person and we do not see ourselves as consciousness.

Therefore, as we learned in NTI Romans 2, judgment is the “building block of illusion.” Through judgment, we believe that we are what we are not.

3. Read NTI Revelation, Chapter 13 (v5-10), and then return to the tip.

You are about to do a journaling exercise. In this exercise, you will ask for a right-minded interpretation of the verses you are about to read from the Bible. As you read, realize that the beast is Self-judgment, which is judging anything since everything is consciousness. So, when the Bible says, “The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies,” it means that Self-judgment is not limited. It is not limited regarding what it judges or how it judges.

If you look at the judgments in your mind, you will see this is true. Self-judgment is very active and very creative.

Before going to the journaling exercise, let’s review how to open up to right-minded interpretation:

Step back.
Detach from what your mind thinks.
Look at the whole as it is.
Feel within for intuition.

4. Read Revelation 13:5-10 in the Bible, and then ask to see what you need to see regarding Self-judgment. After you complete your journaling, return to the tip.
5. Read Revelation 13:11,12 in the Bible.
6. Read NTI Revelation, Chapter 13 (v11,12).

NTI says that the second beast is guilt, and guilt supports judgment. In other words, as long as you believe in guilt (wrong), you believe you need judgment. You think judgment keeps you safe and provides guidance on how to be good and worthy.

In order to let go of judgment, you also have to let go of the belief in guilt. When this happens, right and wrong or good and bad are replaced with a way of seeing that is often described as, “Everything is just happening.” Manifestation is seen as unfolding based on what consciousness believes, but it is not seen as good or bad, right or wrong. It’s just a reflection of beliefs.

This is how Jesus saw when he said:

Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

It is as we learned through NTI Acts 3:

Ignorance is not guilt. It is a call for knowledge.

7. Read NTI Revelation, Chapter 13 (v13-18).
8. Read Revelation 13:13-18 in the Bible, and then ask to see what you need to see regarding your belief in guilt (wrong).

Yesterday we learned that the seventh step to awakening can occur over a long period of time and can look like everyday life. Today’s reading provides guidance about how to transcend the temptations that occur during the seventh step. That guidance is to make choices carefully. That means we need to live reflectively, learning to always check in with inner intuition before making any choice in our daily life.

Before reading today’s reading in NTI, please read Revelation 12:1-6 in the Bible.
