One of the most effective ways to grow spiritually is just to follow your guidance,
Put it into action and then see the results.
And if the results are good,
Then you move into more faith.
And if the results are not so good,
You see that you weren't receiving the information in a pure way,
That the information coming to you was distorted by the ego.
And so in the time after the actions and maybe not the great results,
You will be purified.
You can allow the purification because you can see your own darkness.
It's all a blessing,
Even if it's uncomfortable.
It's a great gift from the universe if we actually see our own darkness,
Because then we can move through it.
If we don't see it,
It's like wearing dark glasses and not realizing that we're blind to the great light behind things.
We're just seeing kind of a dull and dreary view of the world.
We think it's normal.
So,
It is by taking action,
Following your guidance.
In my experience,
If you do that,
Even if I was in the old days,
I was pretty deluded.
I'd go the size of Everest.
So,
Lots of times my guidance seemed to be inaccurate,
But it wasn't inaccurate.
It was this big load of ego I was carrying.
But gradually,
The ego gets purified and the universe always catches us and makes us safe.
A sincere seeker is always safe.
I'll tell you,
It is really like a parent with a child.
If the child is trying,
They're bitter,
They're doing their best,
The parent will go very gentle.
Truly,
It is the same relationship that we have with our beings,
With the Creator.
It's so much more loving than that.
So,
If you can just experiment,
Even in small ways,
With trusting your guidance,
What this does is it builds your heart muscle.
So,
You get some guidance and you follow it,
You put it into action.
The more times you do this,
The easier it gets to do this.
The more faith you have that the guidance coming through you is indeed coming from your true self,
The Creator.
I notice that some people just stand forever on the sidelines in ambivalence.
And it's not safe to do that because we can die at any time.
And that's whatever we did in our lifetime,
That's the extent of our learning.
If we didn't have the courage to follow our guidance,
Even in small ways,
Then we'll get it all again in another life.
And probably a little more exaggerated because,
Again,
It's like a parent.
It's like the parent knows the child has to learn to tie up their shoelaces,
Or in the old days,
Before the Velcro,
As little ones,
We had to learn to tie our shoelaces.
And there comes a time where the child has to do this.
And so,
The more we do this,
The more we learn to do this.
And so,
The parent will be stern.
It is the same with us learning to follow our guidance.
The time comes.
And even just a few steps will help build your faith.
Yeah.
And even if you make mistakes,
It will all be okay.
Okay.
Bless your hearts.
