The Truth Made Manifest message explains that the human body always follows a script, which can also be called karma, but the script can be a script of clarity and wisdom instead of a script of ignorance and delusion.
Since you are awareness and not a human body, you can decide which script to cast attention on, and that is the script that will move the body-mind-personality. Regina explains that when you choose surrender, you choose to follow the script of wisdom instead of the script of delusion.
“Today as you practice your devotion, I ask you to remember your desire to be an instrument of truth in this world. This is your desire to be fully surrendered . . .
"…Focus on this desire, and realize the power this desire has over you. Then surrender to this power, and let God walk the earth through you." ~ excerpt from the Truth Made Manifest message from Inner Ramana
The second message this week, Extinguishment of the ‘I’ Thought, which starts at the 10:32 minute mark, addresses three common ideas that people have about ego death:
- It will take a long time.
- It will be difficult.
- When the ego dies, I will cease to exist.
As Regina explains, none of these statements are true.
"So as you see, it does not take time to extinguish a false identity. It only takes the desire to know living truth now." ~ excerpt from the Extinguishment of the ‘I’ Thought message from Inner Ramana
Assignment for week 12: This week, as you practice your devotion, remember how much you want to be the instrument of truth in the world. Focusing on desire is important because as your desire blossoms, you actually practice better so it's good to take time out every now and then to focus on your desire.
