We are used to placing importance on what
society has agreed are legitimate sources of information that can be
relied upon. After a lifetime of being educated with this, it is hard to
drop those conditioning patterns and trust our gut intuition.
We are often presented with information that
does not come from an authoritive source. When we are holding onto the
idea information can only be valid if it comes from an official source
or from someone who claims to be experienced in the area, we are likely
to dismiss a lot of truth without ‘credentials’.
I think we have learned the pitfalls of
blindly believing what we are told, without seeking our own sense of
resonance and truth. We could be given information by the most
authoritive person in the world, but if it does not resonate
intuitively, their credentials become meaningless. There is a saying
‘Out of the mouths of babes,’ which suggests wisdom can come from
anywhere, even a young child. We have all experienced wisdom from the
most unexpected people and places.
Maybe we feel that there is a lot of
misinformation around at the moment so it is best to play safe and stick
to what is said by people who seem to have the right background and
credentials. We may think if we do that, we will be on more solid ground
and not so likely to be led astray or look stupid passing on incorrect
information.
I think it is time to trust ourselves. We do
have an inner knowing of what is true if we take the time to listen.
Yes, we might go down a few paths before we see it, but when we do we
strengthen our intuitive capabilities. We reach a point where we know
when something does not feel right.
Intuition
is one of those things that can take us a while to get. Some people
learn quickly to trust their gut. Others may spend years before they
trust their own sense of truth. Not because we don’t all have intuition
or it is hard to do, but because we are not very good at trusting
ourselves. We lack confidence. And yet we are gifted with this amazing
ability, no exceptions. If we only rely on information backed by
credentials, it might make us feel safe but it limits the expansion that
is gained when we let go of the safety net and dive into the unknown. It
is trusting ourselves and our precious gift of spirit that takes us to
self mastery. I had a poster in my house for many years, a quote from
1928 - ‘A ship in a harbour is safe, but that is not what ships were
built for’. I think that quote sums it up. I just found that same
picture that helped push me forward years ago.
So, maybe it is time to trust who we are and
recognise our immense capabilities to sense when something is vibrating
as truth. And when we do perceive something untrue, just let it go.
Don’t get into judging it, which drops us into a lower 3D vibration. We
would have so much more free time if we dismissed everything that was
not true. We’d also save a lot of energy wasted by travelling down paths
that go nowhere. Truth is a perception of spirit that is seen at our
current level of consciousness and awareness. That can change as we
grow. So, truth needs to be held lightly and not fixed in concrete, so
when we become aware of a higher truth, it is easy for us to change.
Intuition doesn’t only apply to discovering
truth. It includes how we respond in life to anything. Imagine life if
we intuitively knew the right relationships, job, who to trust, where to
live and whether to go someplace or not.
We
would have grasped the ultimate learning. To be who we really are and
live fully in the divine flow.
