TRUST IS THE NAME OF THE GAME

 
When we´re not connected to our Guidance, we have not real sense of what we´re doing or where we´re going.  So we become conformists (better known as sheep... or SHEEPLE).

 

 

Lessons to be Learnt

"But what if my ideas aren´t really inspired??  What if they´re coming from my need to fix or succeed??  How can I trust that what I´m getting is from my Expanded Self or those who walk with me??"

Believing we´ll be judged or hurt by society, we do everything in our power not to make mistakes.  Yet this is simply social-conscious kind of thinking.  In reality, there is no such thing as a mistake -- just lessons we came here to learn.

Inner Guidance or Intellect?

Trusting our hunches is not easy;  we always want to second-guess ourselves.  We want verification that what we´re getting is the real McCoy, straight from our Expanded Selves.  We want documentation, or some kind of credential behind our ideas to prove they´re the real thing instead of more of our low-frequency fears.  We want a set of rules OUTSIDE of ourselves with which to play this game.  We are so unsure of ourselves in the arena of trusting our inner Guidance, that when an inspired thought COMES in, more times than not we´ll try to intellectualize it or override it in order to feel secure and safe.

Plugging In

The truth is that the Universe doesn´t give out Certificates of Authentic Inspiration;  it only gives feelings.  If we don´t learn to plug into what "feels good", we´re going to miss the connection to our infinite intelligence that can give us all the answers to all of our problems.

Your Inner Being/Expanded Self is aware of your every Want, of all your believe, and of all you´re working on.  Put forth the INTENT that you are going to learn to trust the ideas that give you a twinge of excitement.  They´re coming in on wings of positive energy.  Learn to trust the way you feel.

Following Our Impulses

In every case, what we want is created, but we don´t allow it to come to us because of old vibrational patterns.  We don´t trust what we´re getting.  Yet nothing is more valuable than following our impulses.  Your Inner Being will never let you down.

Your Guidance System

Did you know that your Guidance system never shuts down??  In every moment of every day you are being guided, coached, gently maneuvered, or sometimes hit over the heard with a cosmic 2 x 4.  So now that you´re learning to listen, the next step is to trust.  When a thought feels good, you are in harmony with your intentions.  Follow it through, and watch what happens.  Remember, if it feels unpleasant or seems as though it would be difficult to do, it is not Inspired Action.  But if it gives you a twinge of excitement, trust it, follow it, DO IT!!

The only way we "hear" inspiration is when we´re in a high, positive vibration.  Then we´re matching US with IT.  Inspiration is only, and always, of a high vibration... which is why we "feel good" when we get it.

UNLEASHING OUR DESIRES

WANTING is our Divine Right.  In this article we learn to understand why it is necessary to identify with and unleash these "wants".

 

Mantra of the Subconscious

Once upon a time, back in the dark ages of our youth, it was okay to want -- that is, until some huge adult told us we couldn´t have the china vase to play with, or pull the dog´s tail, or join the big kids on the street.  "No, you don´t want that" became the mantra of our subconscious.

As time went on, and we continued our natural course of wanting in order to explore and experience every morsel of this bountiful new world, we soon faced a rude awkening:  Wanting was becoming not only painful on our bottoms, but to our hearts.  We´d want...not get...and feel the heavy pain of disappointment.  It seemed like wanting was not a very spiffy thing to do.

 

Dreams and Desires

Then we started our youthful religious teachings.  If there had been any doubts before, there were none now.  Wanting anything but the most mundane necessities was definitely out of the question.  It was sinful.  We were unworthy.  God would punish us for our greed.  It was better to give.

Put them all together, and by the time we reached some semblance of adulthood, most of us were basket cases about dreams and desires.  Oh sure, the socially acceptable dreams were fine, like having a family, a job, success.  But heaven forbid we should have desires apart from the norm.  So we made sure whatever dreams we did secretly harbour were tidy and small --  for two reasons:  1) so as not to  offend that big roaring judge in the sky, and  2) so that if the dream didn´t come to pass, we could handle the pain.  "Dream small, hurt small" became our way of life.

Against Cosmic Law

That way of living is 100 percent opposite of what we were made for.  Dreaming small is against our natural instincts, our divine nature.  It is against cosmic law, for without large, outlandish dreams, WE would not even be here.

"WANT" is the first rule of empowerment.  But the barriers against wanting are too strong, too imbedded in our psyches to go barreling ahead like we know what we´re doing.  Don´t Wants are a piece of cake to us, but anything even smacking of fulfilling dreams is so foreign, and so frightening, we could blow this whole thing if we don´t take it slow and easy.  Like telling someone to get over their insecurities TODAY.  Good Luck!

Born to Create

We are creator gods, born to create.  Creating is the molecular foundation of our DNA.  It rules our spiritual as well as physical genetics.  It is inherent in every fiber of our being, yet we cannot create without DESIRE.

Even though Want and Desire are two sides of the same coin, the word "want" has such nasty connotations to it, such as need, greed, lack and pain, that we use the word in only the most casual of conversations.  But now we´re going to change all that and learn to cut loose our WANTS, because without those WANTS we can never touch the glory of our beings.  We can never fulfill our reason for being.  We will never experience the thrill of exploration, the adrenal rush of jumping into the unknown, or the divine pleasure born of a job well done.

We were created to create.  Therefore, if divine empowerment is an earnestly sought-after Want, we´d better learn to do it (Want), or empowerment will forever remain an unobtainable, discouraging, hurtful dream.
