Positive Energy Guide

Now that I have protested for several posts about the unimportance of knowing exactly who or what Guides are and satisfied my assorted concerns I will share a staggering, vivid experience with a particular Guide! This man existed historically and is considered a saint. My ongoing desire to maintain a non-partisan approach leads me to […]

Now that we have laid some important groundwork, lets loop back into the question: If there is Guidance, does this mean we must have Guides? Yes and no. All of life is a guide. Your body is a guide. Intuition is a guide. Sensation and emotion are guides–if you use them as such. Guidance can […]

Basic guidance, such as what to eat or avoid, can be called “instinctual” rather than “intuitive.” This does not make it less important. Look at it as foundational. One of the main tenets of this series is that Guidance shows up in a myriad of ways, from the most basic to the most advanced. The […]

“Mind creates the abyss – the heart crosses it.”  -Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj In response to LG Series Part 20, Impulse as Guidance, my friend Greg made a comment I would like to paraphrase and address: When impulses really to do not resonate from my heart it is a great indicator for me that they are […]

Real intuitive and spiritual experiences have their own internal validity. When they are obvious and clear, whatever we think we know or believe is not relevant. Later we conveniently ‘forget’ or compartmentalize our experience, or let it slide off to the place dreams live. Then it rarely even pops up when we sift through day-to-day […]

Let’s take a quick look at opinions about Guidance and moving beyond them into actual experience: Some say Guidance comes from angels or archangels. Some say Guidance comes from the departed. Some say Guidance comes through signs in nature around us. Some say Guidance comes from your gut or your heart. I would clarify that […]

The question about where Guidance comes from rests on the more basic question of where thoughts come from. During an evening presentation at a ten day meditation retreat one leader gave a Buddhist talk on perception and mind, aiming to get participants to open their experience. Exploring the sources of mind and perception made a […]

Our readiness and willingness to accept clear Guidance changes from situation to situation and moment to moment. How did you do with the self-tests and checks in Part 2? Whenever you slide around on those basics, it is an excellent idea to confront and untangle the web of your resistance to Guidance, exactly as it […]

When self trust is an issue, check your willingness to be truthful with yourself. This may sound obvious–in theory. In practice, various parts of ourselves hide out, lurk in the background, undermine, obfuscate, complicate, distract, divert, subvert or sabotage insight and Guidance on a regular basis. Until we seek our Highest Possible Option (see Post […]
