Inner
Guidance
The
central perception of the multisensory human is that
he or she is not alone.
The
multisensory human does not need to rely solely upon
his or her own perceptions and interpretations of events
for guidance, because he or she is in conscious communication
with other, more advanced intelligences.
This
does not mean that the multisensory human is relieved
thereby from choosing, in each instant, the course of
his or her life. But it does mean that the multisensory
human has conscious access to compassionate and impersonal
help in the analysis of possible choices and their probable
consequences.
The
five-sensory human is not alone either, but the five-sensory
human is not aware of the assistance that is continually
being given, and, therefore, cannot draw upon that assistance
consciously.
The
five-sensory human must learn primarily through physical
experiences, and this learning takes longer because
lessons learned this way must come through the density
of physical matter.
To
the five-sensory personality, intuitions
are curiosities. To the multisensory personality,
they are promptings from, and links to,
a perspective of greater comprehension and
compassion than its own.
|
The
multisensory human can learn more rapidly than a five-sensory
human. With the help that is available to it, the multisensory
personality can understand more quickly the meaning
of its experiences (how they come, what they represent,
and its own responsibility in creating them). It does
not need to experience hundreds of painful experiences
to learn the major lessons of trust, responsibility,
forgiveness or humbleness.
To
the five-sensory personality, intuitions are curiosities.
To the multisensory personality, they are promptings
from, and links to, a perspective of greater comprehension
and compassion than its own.
These
intuitive insights are registrations within its consciousness
of a loving guidance that is continually assisting and
supporting its growth. Therefore, the multisensory personality
strives to increase its awareness of this guidance.
It
is not necessary to be capable of voice-to-voice communication,
so to speak, to be able to draw upon the sources of
guidance and assistance that surround you.
This
way is available to the advanced multisensory human,
but the road to that ability is a joyful one of developing
an awareness that wise and compassionate guidance is
always available to you, and learning to incorporate
it consciously into your life.
How
does this happen?
Each
question that a person asks, invokes guidance. Every
time you ask yourself, "What is my motivation?",
you ask the Universe, "Help me to see," and
help comes.
You
may not always be capable of hearing the answers to
your questions, and the answers may not always come
in the ways that you expect, but they always come.
No
question is unheard, and no question goes unanswered.
"Ask and you shall receive" is the
rule, but you must learn how to ask and how to receive.
Guides
& Teachers
A
guide is not a Teacher. Guides are what might be thought
of as experts in certain fields that are called in for
consultation. If you are writing a book, for example,
a guide that has the quality that you wish to incorporate
into your work is available to you.
Teachers
operate on a more personal plane of involvement, so
to speak, although they are impersonal energies that
we personalize, that we feel a personal relationship
with.
A
nonphysical Teacher brings you ever closer to your soul.
It draws your attention to the vertical path, and to
the difference between the vertical path and the horizontal
path.
Sooner
or later, each soul will turn toward authentic power.
Every situation serves this goal, and every soul will
reach it. The vertical path begins with the decision
to do that consciously.
Take
Your Hands Off The Steering Wheel
Your
guides and Teachers continually offer you Light
(understanding).
They
encourage you in each moment to your fullest growth
and development, yet they cannot prevent you from learning
through your experiences.
This
is so even if you are unable to communicate with them
consciously and directly. Your experiences will move
you right or left, and you will ask your Teacher this
question or that. If you move left, your question will
be entirely different than if you had moved right, and
the reality that you open by that question will be entirely
different.
In
what ways does nonphysical guidance serve you?
It
is a partnership of challenging you to come to terms
with the full width and breadth and depth of authentic
power and responsible choice. It is not that you give
permission to be mindlessly manipulated. It is that
you give permission to be shown the fullest of your
power and guided to its use.
When
you depend entirely upon the ability of your personality
to determine what is best for you, you may stand in
the way of a richness that is waiting for you.
If
you are determined to have your life unfold in a particular
way, and none other; if you have your heart set on using
your creativity only to accumulate money, for example,
consider that you build your entire reality around that.
The
Universe cannot help you in the same way that it can
if you are trusting of it, because it cannot overshadow
nor penetrate your choice.
How
do you know what the Universe has waiting for you if you
restrict it?
Let go of what you think is just reward. Let go. Trust.
The rest is up to your nonphysical Teachers. Take
your hands off the steering wheel.
Be
able to say to the Universe, "Thy will be done."
Remind
yourself that you are supported, that you are not going
it alone upon this Earth. Dwell in the company of your
nonphysical Teachers and guides.
Do
not discriminate in terms of what you can and should
ask and speak about. Give your guides and Teachers permission
to come closer.
When you ask for guidance and assistance, simply assume
that it immediately is pouring forward.
You
may need to work a while to relax your mind to hear,
but live in the total assumption that the moment that
you ask for guidance it is pouring in. Try
looking at life as a beautifully well-organized dynamic.
Trust
the Universe.
Trusting
means that whatever circumstance you are in is working
toward your best and most appropriate end.
There
is no when to that. There is no if to
that. It is.
Allow
yourself to pray. It
is impossible for you to come full ircle in this way
of empowerment without prayer. It is not enough to want
or to intend or to meditate.
You
must pray. You must talk. You must ask. You must believe.
That is partnership.
Vertical
Path
The
vertical path
is the path of awareness. |
Horizontal
Path
The
horizontal
path
is the path that satisfies your personality.
|
The
person who chooses to advance his or her spiritual
growth, to cultivate awareness of his or her higher
Self, is on a vertical path.
When
a soul chooses the vertical path, when it chooses
to evolve consciously through responsible choice,
it becomes capable of liberating itself from its
own negativity. It reaches for authentic power.
It takes on, so to speak, its own negativity,
the unconscious intentions of the splintered parts
of its personality.
The
vertical path is the path of clarity. Clarity
and the experience of interacting with your nonphysical
Teacher are one and the same.
To
experience relationships of substance and depth
requires approaching and entering into relationships
with consciousness and concern for the other. |
A
businessman, for example, who devotes his life
to the accumulation of money is on a horizontal
path. No matter how diverse his or her ventures
may become, they are essentially identical.
If
they make money, they please the personality,
and if they lose money, they distress the personality,
but they do not serve the higher Self. They do
not serve his spiritual growth.
A
person that seeks relationships only to gratify
his or her own needs, such as his or her own emotional
or sexual needs, will find that each relationship
is essentially identical, that the people in his
or her life are replaceable, that experiences
with the first and experiences with the second
are essentially the same.
Each
new experience is not really new. It is more of
the same thing. |
Disciplining
The Intuition
Just
as there are technologies to discipline the intellectual
mind, such as analytical thinking, studying, and repetition,
so, too, are there techniques to engage and discipline
the intuition:
Honor
emotional cleansing at all times...
Honor
emotional cleansing at all times. If you are
emotionally blocked, you become a negative person, and
you also create a physically diseased body.
By keeping your
emotions clear, emotional negativity does not reside
in you, and you become lighter and lighter. This opens
your intuitive track because it allows you a clear sense
of unconditional loving.
It lightens the
quality of your frequency,
so to speak, and therefore the guidance that you receive
is clear and unobstructed as it enters your system.
This requires
that you clear yourself each day of your emotional impacts.
Just as you dispose of your physical body wastes, so,
too, you must dispose of your emotional wastes by finishing
emotionally unfinished business.
Honor
the guidance by being willing to act...
Honor
the guidance that you receive by being willing to act
on your intuition. Emotional
cleansing leads to intuition, and this leads to learning
to respond. Many people do not wish to act on what can
be heard so easily, and, therefore, they deny that they
hear anything.
Allow
yourself an orientation of openness...
Allow
yourself an orientation of openness toward life and
the Universe, to approach the questions in your life
with a sense of faith and trust that there is a reason
for all that is happening, and that that reason, at
its heart, is always good. This is an essential thought
that needs to be in place in order to activate and cultivate
your willingness to hear guidance.

Gary
Zukav,
graduate of Harvard and winner of the 1979 American Book
Award in Science,
explains that we are evolving from a species that pursues
power based upon the perceptions of the five senses, external
power, into a species that pursues authentic power—power
that is based upon the perceptions and values of the spirit.
Using
his scientist's eye and philosopher's heart, Zukav illustrates
how the emerging values of the spirit are changing marriages
into spiritual partnerships, psychology into spiritual psychology,
and transforming our everyday lives.
You
Are Responsible
The decisions
that you make are yours to make. A nonphysical Teacher cannot,
and would not, live your life for you.
It will
assist you through the learning experiences of your life.
The answers that it can provide you depend upon the questions
that you ask - by questioning your own motivations, by praying
or meditating and remaining open for the answer.
It will
answer your questions, but you must ask them, and, therefore,
give direction to your own energy.
A Teacher
can neither create nor remove karma for you. No being, not
even a nonphysical Teacher, can assume responsibility for
your life, for the way that you choose to use your energy.
However,
a nonphysical Teacher can help you to understand what your
choices and your experiences represent.
It can
provide you with the knowledge that will allow you to choose
responsibly, and hopefully, choose wisely.
Therefore,
the ability to draw consciously upon your nonphysical guidance
and assistance is a treasure that cannot be described, a
treasure beyond words and value.
You
Have Gifts For The World
Each
soul comes to the Earth with gifts. A soul does not incarnate
only to heal its energy, but also to contribute to the Earth
school in specific ways. It does this with purpose and intention.
Before
it incarnates, each soul agrees to perform certain tasks
upon the Earth. It enters into a sacred agreement with the
Universe to accomplish specific goals.
That
is why when a soul succeeds in accomplishing its goal, in
fulfilling what it has agreed to do, there is a richness
to the lifetime of that personality that is recognized and
honored by its fellow souls, both physical and nonphysical.
Whatever
the task that your soul has agreed to, all of the experiences
of your life serve to awaken within you the memory of that
contract, and to prepare you to fulfill it.
An
unempowered personality cannot complete the task of its
soul.
It
languishes in an inner sense of emptiness. It seeks to fill
itself with external
power, but that will not satisfy it.
This
sense of emptiness, something missing or of something wrong,
cannot be healed by satisfying the wants of the personality.
Gratifying
needs that are based upon fear will not bring you to the
touchstone of purpose. No matter how successful the personality
becomes in accomplishing its goals, those goals will not
be enough.
Eventually
it will hunger for the energy of its soul.
Only when the personality begins to walk the path that its
soul has chosen will it satisfy its hunger.
Authentic
empowerment and the fulfillment of the soul's task
upon the Earth, therefore, are not separate dynamics.
Authentic empowerment
is necessary to accomplish fully the mission of the soul,
and as you move more into authentic empowerment, you move
toward the fulfillment of your soul's agreement.
You and the work
of your soul upon the Earth expand together. As one grows
and develops, so does the other.
When
a soul incarnates, its memory of the agreement that it has
made with the Universe becomes dormant, awaiting the experiences
that will activate it.
These
experiences are not necessarily experiences that the personality
would choose.
Interactions
with your parents, and with those whom you have chosen to
share your intimacy, serve to activate within you an awareness
of who you are and what you are here to do.
The pains
that you suffer, the lonelinesses that you encounter, the
experiences that are disappointing or distressing, the addictions
and seeming pitfalls of your life are each doorways to awareness.
Each
offers you an opportunity to see beyond the illusion.
With
each experience of pain or negativity is the opportunity
to challenge the perception that lies behind it, the fear
that lies behind it, and to choose to learn with wisdom.
The fear
will not vanish immediately, but it will disintegrate as
you work with courage. When fear ceases to scare you, it
cannot stay.
When
you choose to learn through wisdom, to evolve consciously,
your fears surface one at a time in order for you to exorcise
them with inner faith. That is how it happens. You exorcise
your own demons.
