Regina's YouTube Videos
Regina Dawn Akers is the scribe of The Holy Spirits Interpretation of the New Testament: A Course in Understanding and Acceptance (NTI). Like A Course in Miracles, NTI was written through a process of inner-dictation. It was given as a gift to everyone who is ready for spiritual awakening now. It leads toward awakening in a loving and gentle manner, guiding us each step of the way. All that is left for us to do is to practice, with our every breath, everything that NTI teaches.
YouTube Playlist: Foundation for the Holy Spirit
What does Holy Spirit sound like? - 01:46 min.
A Course in Miracles, Workbook for Students, Lesson 49, says, Gods Voice
speaks to me all through the day. But many students of A Course in
Miracles feel they cannot hear this Voice.
In this segment, Regina discusses her frustrating experience with
Lesson 49, when she also felt she wasn't hearing the Voice, and she
tells of the experience that helped her realize she was hearing Gods
Voice throughout the day. She simply didn't recognize it.
The surrender prayer - 00:38 min.
In this segment, Regina reads the surrender prayer from page 216 in NTI.
This prayer is helpful whenever we begin to forget our purpose and
find ourselves tempted to take control again.
Laying "me" aside - 06:35 min.
In this segment, Regina discusses how all seeming desires roll up into
one of two parent desires: 1) the desire to know thy Self, or 2) the
desire not to know thy Self. Only one of these desires is a true
desire that which we really want and that which can make us perfectly
happy. The other is a false desire. It leads us to what we think will
make us happy, but when we get there we find that we need to desire
something different as we continue to grasp for happiness.
Regina talks about these two desires, helps us to get clear on our
deepest, truest desire, and helps us to see how we can remain clear so
we are not distracted by false desires.
What do I want? - 01:52 min.
In this segment, Regina shares how What do I want? is a question that
helps us to remember our purpose of awakening at all times. When we
remember that we want to awaken, know only love and be only love, that
remembrance guides everything we do, so that we live from the purpose
that we have chosen in love.
Everything is love - 02:22 min.
In this segment, Regina describes a mystical experience she had, which
taught her that literally, everything is love. Or said another way,
God is all there is. This experience taught her to see everything in a
new way, as living love, including objects she had previously believed
were inanimate. This experience helped Regina understand what Jesus
meant when he said, The kingdom of heaven is near. It is right here,
within us and all around us, only we do not see it when we believe
that everything is something else.
Gratitude for freedom - 02:33 min.
NTI teaches that we are perfectly free, and as perfect freedom, no limits
are put upon us. Since no limits are put upon us, we are also
perfectly innocent.
In this segment, Regina describes a mystical experience that helped
her realize the perfection of our freedom and our innocence. In this
experience, which seems to be an extreme teaching example, Regina
learned there is nothing more valuable than our inherent and perfect
unlimited freedom. Regina also learned that it is worthwhile to ask
ourselves what we want to do with our freedom. After all, we were
given freedom so we could experience love and perfect happiness. If
what we are doing with our freedom isn't making us happy, shouldn't we
question what we are choosing to do?
Fading polka dots - 02:07 min.
Peace Pilgrim (www.peacepilgrim.org)
was one of Regina's early spiritual influences. Regina was very happy
when she discovered the book, Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Her Work in
Her Own Words. She read the book several times. Regina trusted Peace
Pilgrim & was deeply inspired by her stories. However, there was one
thought that Peace Pilgrim shared that Regina couldn't understand.
Peace Pilgrim taught that we are all one.
The idea that we are one was a concept Regina had not heard before.
Her experience had never hinted at such a thought before. However,
because she trusted Peace Pilgrim, she did not close her mind to the
idea. Instead, she seemed to ask herself, How is it possible that we
are all one? This opening within her mind led to an experience that
taught her the answer to her question.
In this segment, Regina describes her polka dot vision, which came as
a symbol to teach her about our oneness. From this vision, she learned
that as a person lets go of the belief in individuality, the belief in
separateness fades until the I awareness knows itself as one light.
This helped Regina to understand that awakening comes by letting go of
all ideas that teach us that we are what we are not.
Willingness - 03:30 min.
NTI teaches that we are perfectly free, and as perfect freedom, no
experience can be given to us unless we are willing to receive it.
That includes the experience of awakening to our truth. Therefore, one
important practice of awakening is to focus on our willingness and
have gratitude for our willingness so that our willingness to awaken
increases and becomes full.
NTI Galatians says, Focus on your willingness as if it is your truth,
because it is. Focus on your willingness as if it holds the answer to
all questions, because it does. Focus on your willingness as if it is
everything to everyone, because it is. Focus on your willingness. That
is Love Alive within the world.
In this segment, Regina talks about the importance of willingness to
the purpose of awakening.
NTI Romans, Chapter 2 - 08:47 min.
A Course in Miracles says, Into eternity, where all is one, there crept
a tiny, mad idea, at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh. NTI
describes this tiny, mad idea as a question, What if nothing was as it
is?
NTI teaches that this metaphysical question is a curiosity, a daydream
of exploration and really nothing at all, about which Holy Spirit
says, I am very grateful that you have expressed your freedom and
explored your wish. Now the curiosity can be let go.
In this segment, Regina shares NTI's teaching of the tiny mad idea
from NTI Romans, Chapter 2. We see how the question was expressed as a
curiosity, how two possible answers were provided when the question
was asked, and how divine mind chose to listen to the idea of fantasy
in order to explore its curiosity. We also see that guilt comes from
the minds decision to judge itself for the idea. It is important to
note, however, that there is no truth to this guilt, because divine
mind is free to explore the curious idea and exploration of an idea
through fantasy does not change that which is true.
I was an apple - 02:47 min.
In this segment, Regina describes a mystical experience during which her
I awareness shifted into an apple. Although the experience was brief,
it was a valuable teaching tool. Regina learned there is an I that is
awareness, but that I is not the body, the personality or the thinking
mind. During her experience as an apple, Regina experienced the
interaction of love with love (or light with light), which helped her
to realize that everything is made up of light and all that is is
love.
Receiving NTI - 09:38 min.
In this segment, Regina describes how NTI came to be written. She describes
the process of inner-surrender and listening that led to the delivery of
NTI.
