==== ==== How to unlock your intuition... Unleash your inner compass! http://www.intuitionzone.com/go/?11121 ==== ====
You merge with your True Self and receive pure intuition the moment you let go of control and willingly accept the purpose of your True Self even though you don't know what it is. You also merge with your True Self through the practice of living as your True Self. To do this, you need to know the signs that indicate when you are following the guidance of your True Self. These include feelings of genuine: -Inner peace -Love and respect -Joyful inspiration -Beauty and harmony -Supportiveness and forgiveness -Disinterest in getting paid back for gifts (no strings attached) -Unconcern about outcomes -Release from past injuries -Presence in the present moment -Safety -Unity and equality with all beings -Reverence for the sacred purpose of all By intentionally practicing the expression of the above inner signs you develop your inner channels of higher intuition. Nevertheless, the actual experience of these when they descend by grace from the True Self infinitely surpasses the power and delight of the pleasure of practicing them. You also gain greater access to your True Self through the practice of relating to every personality, however faulty, as a creation of the True Self for the True Self, as an instrument with the purpose and potential of being a channel of the divine.
We can understand reality as consisting of four basic levels with the higher levels needing the levels below to work through and the lower levels needing the higher levels to work through them. The lowest level is the physical dimension. Above that we find the dimension of the lower personality, including desires, emotions and thoughts that pertain to satisfaction of natural or animal appetites and brutish human selfishness. Above that we find the level of the higher personality, consisting of the appreciation of beauty, kindness, justice and truth. Above that we find the spiritual dimension of the True Self consisting of the power and purpose behind every level. Above the 4 levels exists a level beyond existence, inexplicable and unknowable except unto itself, the limitless source of being. Ultimately, when the True Self completes its purpose, it merges with the limitless, returning to its origin. We all crave this return most of all at the root of our being. We can also refer to the True Self as the divine aspect or soul of each person. Every person you meet is therefore a potential channel of the divine, designed to be that channel, and therefore sacred. Relating to each person as sacred in this respect attunes you to the True Self in each. Then, through nothing but your consciousness the other receives soulful support in making that connection for himself and herself. Intuition cannot reach you in a state of insecurity or frustration. When you feel frustrated or insecure, you experience the absence of your True Self's guidance. The practical value of receiving the guidance of your True Self is that it guides you to do what is truly best in whatever circumstances you find yourself. Intuition presents the only reliable guide through life. It proves more reliable than the intellect's logic. More reliable than your knee-jerk emotional reactions. More reliable than what your most passionate desire drives you to do. At the same time, when you attune to your whole self, you realize that intuition guides you to what you desire most, into the experience of deepest satisfaction, and its intelligence is infallible. It never steers you wrong. It leads you through the experience of love, joy, freedom and fulfillment. Your True Self has 10 attributes. The first is will. When you focus on your deepest intention you access the very highest power of your True Self. You do this, not by thinking about what you intend, but by surrendering the power of intention to your soul, which is another way of referring to the True Self. You have to trust your True Self with the direction of your life to receive all it has to offer you. The second attribute of your True Self is wisdom, the wisdom of your soul. As a spark of the divine, your soul or True Self has access to divine wisdom, the wisdom of how to live a true life. To receive the guidance of this wisdom, open yourself to it. You have to pay the price for it, though. You have to give something up for it. You have to give up your attachment to your personal intelligence, your preconceived notions of what to do, how to live. When you give that up and accept the wisdom of your soul, you have moved beyond the need for words, ideas and concepts as your guide. You begin following a higher level of intelligence than the personal mind, the ego mind. The ego mind provides nothing but illusion. You can think with it, imagine with it, communicate with others through it, but it works with symbols. The higher mind of the soul expresses its intelligence at a purer, deeper level. The moment you express your genuine willingness to accept
it, the wisdom of the True Self guides you on a nonverbal level that you may not even feel. It may guide you through the mind, presenting ideas and images to help you understand what is happening. For instance, you may get the idea that your emotional attachments interfere with your receptivity to the wisdom of the True Self. All fears come from the ego which fears giving up control. The wisdom of the True Self guides you along the path of true fulfillment, but the ego has fears based on its attachment to things, experiences, people it only thinks it needs. I recently met a woman who told me that she felt spiritually starved. She worked in an industry she found extremely superficial. In a moment of desperation she prayed, "Whatever the cost, I want to live a soulful life." The very next day, and this is not a fabrication, she awoke to find herself 90% blind. As a result of losing her sight, she lost her job, but her health problem meant that she left with full benefits and a sound pension. Soon after that, she met a man who saw past her blindness and loved her for who she truly was. Everyday became one of spiritual growth for her. She does not know why she had to lose her sight. Perhaps she would not have been willing to take a leap of faith from her job any other way. Perhaps it had something to do with the mysterious force we call karma. Every ego fears that surrendering to the soul, the spirit, the True Self will mean a sacrifice too hard to bear. The ego uses these fears to maintain control. Only the courageous can go beyond its prison and lead the soulful life we all long for at the root of our being. To move beyond the ego's fears, recognize that you fear nothing but what you imagine. Imagining yourself paying a horrible price for a true life opposes your will to live that life. Seeing an imaginary condition as nothing but imaginary lessens its power and loosens you from it. The third quality of your True Self is understanding. There is nothing that your soul does not understand because it carries the spark of divine understanding within it. Your soul understands everyone's point of view. It understands how the people around you feel in response to how you relate with them. The understanding of the soul or true self comes from the true love of all. The True Self understands the needs of all. When you ask to be guided by the understanding of your True Self, compassionate enlightenment unites your mind and heart and will. This prevents you from doing any harm to anyone, including yourself. The fourth attribute of your True Self is loving kindness. Your True Self's kindness roots you into feeling everyone's pain and pleasure as your own. Your True Self's reservoir of kindness and forgiveness has no limits. It expresses a nurturing quality in all relationships, a nurturing that reaches into the soul of every being. They feel nurtured, supported, and given-to at the deepest level of their being in response to the presence of the True Self's influence. To the extent that you express your True Self you exude the deepest quality of kindness into the atmosphere surrounding you. The fifth attribute of your True Self is justice. The soul's sense of justice demonstrates love for right, not hate for wrong. The justice of the soul translates into the strength to stand up for the innocent, for the good, the true and the beautiful. The justice of the soul stands guard over the
portals of your life rejecting all influences that would cause you to deviate from your true life-path. Beauty is the sixth attribute of your True Self or soul. The beauty of the soul is the soul itself. As the body inhales and exhales air, the soul inhales and exhales beauty. To feel connected with the soul or True Self is to feel the sense of beauty you crave the way a flower craves the rain. All of the attributes of the True Self require your surrender to work through you. To be a channel for the soul's deep beauty, let go of your likes and dislikes, your fears and your desires while opening inner attunement to the sense of the soul's deep beauty within. The act of surrender to the inner realm of truth constructs the expressions of beauty in the physical world. The seventh attribute of the True Self is victory. The soul cannot be defeated. While it will not express itself through you without your willing cooperation, that does not in any way diminish its power. You cannot beat the soul. As you surrender to its guidance and its love, to its power and its protection, you cannot be beaten. The soul's purpose will be fulfilled as long as you choose to be its instrument. The eighth attribute of your True Self is honor. The soul is the source of true values. The soul can express nothing but integrity. The soul or True Self treats all with reverence. Every detail is important to it. Nothing is negligible. Your True Self attends to every detail of your life perfectly when you surrender to its lead. The ninth attribute of the True Self is its endless power to support. Rely upon your soul as the sturdy foundation of your life. You can always count on the True Self to pull you through. When you do not know what to do, trust that the wisdom and understanding of your True Self knows and count on that. Root yourself into your soulful experience of life. Rely on no person, place or thing to provide you with anything. Trust that whatever happens comes from your True Self and provides you with all you need to fulfill your true purpose and potential. And the tenth attribute of the True Self is manifestation. The soul's purpose is to manifest its kingdom in the physical world. Turn your life over to your True Self and its guidance. The more you try to figure out what you need to do the more lost you become. Be a willing agent of your True Self. Cultivate your gifts and talents to the highest degree in order to turn them over to be used by your True Self. Through them your True Self will build for you the life you were meant to live. Replace your personal attachments to people, places and things, to outcomes, with an attitude of surrender and trust in the power deep within. Whatever you believe you need, whatever you desire to have or to experience, communicate it to your True Self. Then let it go, pay attention and trust in the power of your True Self to lead you. Pay attention to the present moment, to your present experience, and you will see that deeper than all of your desires you want to lead a true life, a life consistent with the needs and intentions of your soul, the life that you are truly meant to live. Be willing to lead that life and turn over your personal or ego-will to the will of the divine, the will of your True Self, to enter freedom and fulfillment, guided by intuition into the dimension of the miraculous.
