Our intuition is guidance from the Higher Spirit Self. The mind has two parts/thought systems. Spirit is one and is the voice of love. Spirit knows only our divine Truth that we are perfect love and that only love is real. The other part of the mind, the ego, is illusory. The ego is not an entity nor a thing, but rather just the idea that we are separate from our Source. Its thought system is fear-based and is totally flawed as we are not separate from Source. The ego is the inner critic/false self which judges everyone and everything. Abundance, unity, and wholeness are part of Spirit’s thought system. Lack, separation, and limitation are part of the ego’s thought system.   

Since the part of the mind we choose to follow at any given moment effects how we perceive ourselves, others, and the world, listening to Spirit’s guidance (our intuition) enables us to experience and enjoy life from Spirit’s true vision of peace, love, non-judgement, harmony, and freedom.
​
How do you know if specific thoughts and ideas in your mind are guidance from Spirit or the ego? When they are from Spirit, they are loving, gentle, kind, and uplifting in nature. Any guidance that Spirit offers always result in positive outcomes for our well-being and anyone else concerned. Spirit gives us solutions on how to forgive and eliminate fear and judgement, and brings us clarity. We may feel a burst of joy when we receive inspiring ideas. If the thoughts and ideas are unloving, judgemental, or condemn anyone including the self, then they are from the ego.

The guidance received from Spirit may not always necessarily be what one wants to hear at the time. If there are expectations of what it should be, to match what you think you want, this is judgement and a control mechanism of the ego. If Spirit’s guidance is then ignored, it may lead to some confusion and doubt.

If unsure if the guidance is from Spirit or the ego, you can ask for clarification from Spirit and wait awhile. Let go of thinking about it for some time and to clear the mind, trusting that Spirit will bring you the clarification in divine timing. When we spend time being in silence and the mind becomes still, the intuitive guidance comes through clearly. Also, Spirit’s guidance will most likely stay the same a few days later, but that from the ego can change, even often.

We have so many thoughts that arise in the mind each day. Each moment, we always have the choice which inner voice to listen to. When I made the choice to listen to and follow only Spirit and have stayed committed to doing so everyday, the voice of the ego became much weaker. Like a muscle that gets stronger when we exercise it, when we are dedicated to listening to and following our intuition, the stronger our communication with Spirit and it becomes our clear, dominant, guiding light. ​

There is such a wide variety of information and ideas so readily and easily accessible to us especially with today’s technology. It can feel like information overload. I like to keep an open mind when presented with new information and ideas. At the same time, I have learned how vital it is to observe if the information resonates with me on a deep level and to listen to my inner guidance/Spirit to best support and assist me on my path. In other words, if it is aligned to our perfect and eternal Oneness with Source or not.

For some time up until a few years ago, I was interested in reading many books and gathering a information on various topics of interest. Some of these included spirituality and holistic health/nutrition/healing. Within these were topics such as genetically-modified foods, EMFs (electromagnetic fields), and spiritual protection (protecting/guarding the aura/body’s energy field). What I came to eventually realize, was that some of the information and teachings I was coming across, although seemingly helpful on the surface, was on a deeper level, capable of creating beliefs based in fear.

With the assistance of my connection/work with the Metatronia Therapy® vibration/light and as a dedicated student of A Course in Miracles, I came to the deep inner realization that accepting specific societal beliefs, such as the need to avoid certain types of foods because they could be harmful, or the need to protect from various external energies and influences, was not helpful, but rather creating a sense of fear. Such ideas were creating and instilling a belief and sense of vulnerability, which I didn’t have before doing that research and learning. And so my inner guidance let me know that it was important to unlearn the information that I had gained from some of the popular spiritual/self-help/health books that created fear. 

“Resistance is about believing that you are vulnerable or susceptible to something not wanted and holding a stance of protection-- which only holds you in a place of not letting in the Well-being that would be there otherwise.” ~Abraham-Hicks

Everything in the universe is vibrational. Thoughts and beliefs are vibrational. It seems in the collective consciousness, there is a focus on, and push against that which is not wanted in the world rather than a focus on that which is wanted. There is a push against pollution, dis-ease, war, different political and religious views, the food industry, and the long list of the unwanted goes on. There is less focus on what is actually wanted which includes well-being, health, peace, unity, harmony, love, etc. Worrying about or focussing on trying to change what is external to the self though, can lead to a sense of disempowerment or feeling vulnerable or  like a victim to the outside world. It feeds the fear of the ego/false self and separation consciousness.

“I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.” ~Mother Theresa

What I recognized is that the only thing that matters is our own personal vibration/alignment. In other words, rather than examining, guarding against, or trying to change anything external, looking within and aligning to our true self/Source is key.

How we choose to perceive ourselves and the world is so important. Source, which we have never been separated from, is invulnerable and so we too are truly invulnerable.

Nourishing the self by feeding it with high-vibrating thoughts is what is important. That is, with thoughts that are self-empowering and aligned to who we really are. Also, holding onto fear-based beliefs can inadvertently open the door to possible situations in which a sense of vulnerability may be experienced. That is because whatever the focus of attention is placed upon, whether it is wanted or unwanted, is called forward to us and becomes active in our vibration. We bring to us that which is a vibrational match to us. Like vibrations attract the like. It's the law of attraction.

We are divine light. We can be nothing less as our true self is part of Source. Source is not weak therefore, how could we be anything less than strong, powerful, infinite, perfect, and eternal? It isn’t possible. The more that I began to perceive myself as strong, invulnerable, and as the radiant, divine light that we all are, a deep sense of self-empowerment followed. The fear was replaced with inner strength. I have since then also felt grounded in the light and living from the awareness of the true self. When our thoughts and beliefs are aligned to who we really are, our Oneness with Source, and by simply embracing and being our magnificent light, any sense of vulnerability disappears. It really is that simple. Only love is real.

Therefore, it is essential to be mindful when presented with information. Is the information presented rooted in fear or in love? Does it make you feel uplifted and empowered or disempowered? Your inner guidance will tell you through how it makes you feel.

In Oneness,

Everything changed when I began to look within. There comes a point when one realizes that all is found within. The need to seek externally ceases. I began my inner exploration and self-discovery in my early thirties over a decade ago. Spirituality had always been an important aspect in my life, but as I began to delve deeper into my subconscious and began undoing the false beliefs I held about myself, my life transformed completely. Through this awakening and alignment to my true self, which is the same divine self that we all are, everything began to shift in the most wondrous ways. When the realization of who we really are awakens within us, our outer world automatically transforms.

My self-healing began with the practice of daily self-love, forgiveness, and inner child healing. I was fully committed to my healing and raising my consciousness became a priority in my life. Over the years that followed, as my perceptions continued to change, miracles began happening.

Everything that we experience happens in order to teach us something. The situations and people that show up in our lives (the effect) act as a mirror to reflect back the beliefs we hold within the mind (the cause). Many of these beliefs are subconscious. Specific issues are also illuminated in the mirrors (to help one learn self-approval, or how to feel comfortable expressing one’s feelings, or trust etc.) until they are healed. The source of well-being always comes from within. Coming to that understanding brought me a great sense of freedom and self-empowerment and continues to do so as I remember that nothing can disturb my inner peace unless I allow it.

When you acknowledge that everything is simply a projection coming from you and not at you, you take responsibility for your perceptions and life. You see innocence in all including yourself. You end needless suffering. Isn’t it empowering to know that nothing outside of you can effect your alignment to your true self, and that at any given moment, it’s solely your choice on how you want to feel no matter what is happening around you? As I changed my perception of uncomfortable past experiences, using them as opportunities to learn, forgive, and to propel me forward in my awakening, it allowed my transformation and healing to occur. Many mirrors disappeared as well when I learned what I needed.
​
We all need to go through the process of undoing the false beliefs of the ego and aligning to our true self at some point, so why delay? Doing all that inner work on myself was not easy, as it isn’t for most who do, but I am so grateful that I did because it has brought me to a place of deep connection to Spirit and to those that cross my path. Life now flows so much easier and there is greater harmony, joy, well-being and synchronicity. Everything becomes a blessing when we perceive it the way Source knows it to be true.

​A Course in Miracles has been the greatest blessing on my path. I have been a dedicated student of the Course since 2008 and it is a unique, universal, self-study, thought system that teaches that the path to inner peace and love is through forgiveness. A Course in Miracles has helped me to completely transform my perception of the world. And in doing so, transform my life.

Your thoughts and beliefs also have a vibrational frequency and those that are of LOVE and reflect the Truth of who you really are, as a divine being of love and light that is One with Source/Creator, raise your vibration.  And those that are of a lower vibration are those that are for example, self-sabotaging and judgemental.  These are all fear-based and are not aligned to the Truth of who you really are.  Foods and beverages also have a vibrational frequency.  I had written about the importance of consuming high vibrational foods and the healthy changes in diet that an individual's body may require one to make a couple years back in one of my previous blog posts. 

By focusing on what is working well in your life and those things in the world that you appreciate and bring you a feeling of joy and love, you bring more of those things that hold the vibration of joy and love to you.  Therefore, focus on that which you want and not on those things in your life or in the world that you don't want.  This will then allow and accelerate the creation of the reality you wish to experience.  It is through your personal vibration that you create what you experience. ​
