From our advent into this realm of dreams, hard lessons, and endless choices, we have been bestowed with a presence, a perfect all-knowing inner guide. Throughout time, no matter how horrible or unworthy we believe we were or are, undeterred, our companion holds fast, never abandoning or wavering in its mission to help us reach our center. For the spiritually asleep, if received at all, Spirit’s guidance appears unrecognizably diminished, so subtle and confusing, that it is not possible to interpret or apply constructively into our lives. In a false effort to protect us from truth, the negative mind censures or edits Spirit’s life-changing messages, which now only seep in the form of nightmares, uneasy feelings, and disjoint ed images played across the mind’s eye. Once fear takes ahold of the heart, the guide falls silent.

For those awakening from the slumber of painful ignorance, the slow deliberate process of mastering the language of divine Spirit begins.

Beyond logic and always in the best interest of all concerned, the Creator’s practical guidance will always be based on Its vast and deep understanding of our past, a personal connection to our unique nature, and our spiritual needs and interests going forward. As our appreciation and perceptiveness expand, we will discover that, without cessation, Spirit is speaking to us in each moment, presenting a clear message in a host of miraculous and seemingly random ways, through the overheard conversation of passing strangers, songs on a radio, daydreams, realizations, intuitions, through symbols and numerical patterns on license plates, even pictures on a billboard.

For grounded individuals who have ascended higher up the spiritual ladder, depending on the urgency and our level of acceptance, the Creator, through Its emissary, the Holy Spirit, may present itself in a more direct manner, inwardly or even outwardly manifesting into our world in the form of a beloved and trusted religious figure, such as Jesus, Buddha, Moses, or a particular master on a path we follow, at times even appearing as a close passed loved one. While skeptics brush off these experiences and messages as mere fantasies, those of a higher order recognize the gift for what it is: the Creator’s limitless wisdom, guidance, and love for Soul. Every joyous person, every great inventor, writer, artist, poet, sculptor, musician, dancer, composer, and prophet, who has fulfilled their purpose here, has done so through the grace of Its guidance. Now that we are listening, we won’t have to ask so much!
