Everything can be seen in a different way. Everything can be reinterpreted. "Even distractions?" Yes, even distractions! Things that seem to be distractions when used by the ego can be turned around in the mind. Give distractions to Spirit. The Spirit can use these distractions for your own Awakening. Everything you seem to see in form is a symbol in the dream. David Hoffmeister discusses specifics: smoking, drinking, movies, music. The ego can use a symbol like a movie or a cigarette to divert the attention of your mind. These symbols are not cause for guilt or self-criticism. They are simply symbols; reinterpreted they are seen as calls for Love. Spirit gives us prompts to stay in alignment with our Awakening. It is only when we ignore the prompts that guilt arises and behavior is judged negatively, and Awakening is delayed. Attentiveness to this allows the forgiveness of the delay maneuvers. Distractions are a call for Love, calling you back to God. All forms the ego made can be used in a helpful way by Spirit; distractions, too, are symbols that Spirit can use for our Awakening. Give your distracting thoughts over to Spirit and let him retranslate them in a positive way, contrasting the negative judgments of the ego.
