Hello world. The following was written 1/28/2018.
I have been having very interesting conversations with my brothers, Holy Spirit and my Guides this morning. The topic for today seems to be “Discernment”. The following are some things shared by my brothers and my responses to them.
A brother shared, “We each reduce the infinite down to our version. Then we have to deal with our ideas”
My response, “Discernment! Alex and I were just having a discussion about that before he left for work this morning. He responded to a troll in open minds yesterday about the guys lack of discernment about what the course is stating about the ego’s discernment being unconscious and Holy Spirit’s discernment is based in Consciousness. Even the post I had shared showed the depths of the ego thinking and how Holy Spirit would have me see and perceive things differently.”
Another brother had posted about the story’s we tell ourselves and I responded with the following.
My response, “I used to tell myself the story that was handed to me about all the rapes, molestations, exorcisms, canings, mental abuse, emotional abuse and beatings I experienced as a child. That story would come into the forefront of my mind every time I interacted with a man. I looked at every man as the next rapist, molester, and murderer of me from beating me to death. It took a very long time for me to understand that EVERY TIME those thoughts, beliefs, flash back imagery and emotions would come up that I was to begin LOOKING at them and QUESTIONING them. I was to start asking myself if what I had been taught was the Truth.
As I began looking at those thoughts and stopped denying I was experiencing them, I began getting answers and healing from those experiences. I came to understand that how I was thinking and perceiving myself, the experiences, and everyone involved in them had been taught to me. Every judgmental label I was using to define those experiences, myself and the people involved had been handed to me as defining me and them.
I had to stop denying what Holy Spirit kept bringing up and into my face to look at. Once I looked at it and questioned it I received answers and healing. I was able to see the choices I made to believe and let them go completely. It is not an easy task but a necessary one.”
For the last 14 years I have been on a journey inward seeking understanding of who I am and why I experienced all the things I had. When I turned inward and started looking at the things my Guides were bringing up for me to look at I experienced a dawning horror, that everything I learned to believe in was a lie that had been taught to me, that I blindly accepted as being the absolute Truth, defining who I am, am supposed to be and all I perceive to be.
I began to understand how the egoistic thought structure works, was put into place and becomes self regulating. It becomes a well oiled machine of fear, shame, guilt, blame, pain, suffering, victimization of self and others, and of handing away our responsibility for our own choices to think, say, do, be, and believe to someone else. To make them responsible for what it is we are thinking, saying, doing, perceiving, believing and experiencing. We are trained to become the perfect slave. The only chains binding us are our own minds. Each belief held is a bar to a cage we build for ourselves in our heads.
We are taught to follow the unconscious thinking of an egoistic thought system that has us believing we are conscious when in Truth we are Unconscious. It is not until we turn inward and start seeking within ourselves and looking at the things we have been taught, that Holy Spirit and our Guides bring to us for contemplation, that we begin to regain True Consciousness.
We gain an understanding within us of what we are doing. We gain an understanding of who we really are. We gain an understanding of how our minds are really working on an subconscious level that we were never AWARE of. We gain the ability to discern for ourselves what resonates within us as being true for us and who we are choosing to be. We have been taught to do as we are told and to not question the authority. Told that what they state is the Truth and we are required to accept what they say for ourselves. We gain an understanding that we were never required to believe as we have been taught, trained or indoctrinated to and that we are allowed to choose differently than those around us are choosing for themselves.
All of Humanity has been trained in this egoistic thought system of perceiving, believing, saying, doing, and being. To take what is said to them or they read in a book as being the absolute Truth because the person who said it or wrote it is supposed to be the authority. They have a title, a piece of paper that says they know what they know. All taught to them by someone else just as it had been taught to them. All accepted blindly because they said it was true.
What is failed to be recognized here is that in every instance we are the ones who are choosing to accept another’s authority over us. We are not and have never been required to accept or believe in anything being said to us or we read in a book. It does not matter if the person speaking says they have or they are the authority. It does not matter that they read a book or wrote a book so they are the authority or that book is the authority.
Belief is a choice being made by you, to accept what another is saying as being true and defining you. What is not seen, is how the words in a book are still someone else’s choices to be and believe and discernment is needed to comprehend what is actually being shared there. One needs to be willing to question everything placed before them. To willingly turn inward and stop blindly following and believing whatever is placed before them. To take responsibility for themselves and their own choices to believe, accept and perceive.
Until Humanity chooses to do this, the egoistic thought system shall reign supreme within them. They will continue to accept what is said and done to them until they decide they are no longer willing to accept it any longer. When they choose to Stand in their Light of Truth no matter what it is their brothers are choosing for themselves. When they are able to accept that their brothers are allowed to be as they choose and to believe as they choose. They are allowed to blindly follow and believe the Being in front of them or that book they read as they walk themselves into the quagmire of quicksand and the death that following brings.
It is and has always been their Sovereign Right of Free Will to make those choices for themselves. They, are the only ones who can change their minds and choose differently. All that can be done for them is to share our Truth and the experiences we have had that shows us this is the Truth and then walk away. We lay our Truth before them walking away and allow them the choice to accept it or deny it. We give away all attachment to the outcome here. You cannot drag anyone kicking and screaming into the Light. Every single one of us must pick ourselves up and walk into that Light on our own. We have to make a choice to do this. To learn to use Discernment and to stop blindly accepting what another chooses to believe because they tell you, you have to or it says it in a book.
Discernment is the word of the day here Folks. Standing in our Light of Truth no matter what, is using Discernment that what another is choosing does not resonate within us as being True. Just because they choose to believe it does not mean we have to accept it too.
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
