A Path to the Self - Three Ways to Receive Your Inner Wisdom

Inner wisdom gives you direct guidance for inspired action. It shifts your view of daily situations. It reveals patterns and your place and purpose in them. Through self-reflection you know your true feelings. You get in touch with who you really are. You increase your understanding and embrace a larger way of being. Through self-reflection you learn ways to receive your inner wisdom.

Learn to recognize your life patterns for self-knowledge and wholeness.
Patterns reveal the identity of something and show you how to relate. They give you information from the past that you can project into the future. Your task is to look deeper and assemble this information into meaningful patterns. Reflecting on your life patterns leads to self-knowledge and wholeness. You develop a blueprint for being in the world.

Pattern recognition and interpretation develops through self-reflection. It helps you intuit what to expect. It guides you in making wise choices. You choose good thoughts, words and actions deliberately. You let go of old habits that no longer serve you. You gain insight in recognizing the larger picture and its meaning for your life. With quiet reflection you move toward greater self-knowledge and wholeness.

Learn to remember dreams as a link between inner and outer worlds.
Dreams represent your inner world as you struggle with the demands of your outer world. They help you maintain inner balance. They often provide insights to resolve problems. Dreams take you beyond the limits of your physical body. Think of dreams as messages from your inner Self.

Before you sleep, make an affirmation to remember your dreams. Keep a journal and pen by your bed to record your dreams upon waking. Be cautious of dream books. Far more significant, what does the dream mean to you personally? How did you feel during your dream and upon waking? Negative emotions often signal that you are not creating what is for your highest good. Dream work helps you develop the ability to communicate with your inner Self.

Learn to trust your intuition as a way to grasp the whole picture.
Intuition helps you recognize patterns at a subconscious level. It requires openness and receptivity to your hunches. Often children are taught to ignore their hunches. But you need intuition to grasp the whole picture or essence of something.

The development of intuition enhances your psychic abilities. Living in the present moment, you pay attention to your feelings and honor your hunches. It is wise to double-check any guidance they give you. Intuition is always available. During times of uncertainty intuition often reveals patterns of thinking and acting that no longer serve you.

You develop inner sight and promote your spiritual growth through self-reflection. But you may have illusions that hold you in place. They drain your energy. They keep you from living authentically. As example, you may use one common illusion to fixate on thoughts of what should be rather than what is.

A personal vision helps you to resolve the demon of illusion. It frees you from the past and leads you forward. It shapes your energy as you grow and evolve. It gives meaning and purpose to your life.  A personal vision serves as a blueprint for a new way of being.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
