Technique
for Tuning in to Higher Guidance
From
Awaken
to Superconsciousness by J. Donald Walters
Whenever you
need special guidance but find none forthcoming, try following these
suggestions:
1) Ask for guidance
from superconsciousness at the Spiritual Eye.
2) Wait for
a response in the heart center. Be completely impartial. Don't intrude
your personal desires into this process. Pray, "Thy will, not
mine, be done."
3) If no guidance
comes, propose several alternative solutions at the Spiritual Eye.
See if one of them receives special endorsement in the heart.
4) Guidance
often comes only after an idea has been made concrete by setting
it in motion. If, therefore, you receive no answer in meditation,
act in whatever way seems reasonable to you, but continue to listen
for guidance in the heart.
5) At a certain
point, if your direction is right, you will feel the endorsement
you've been seeking. But if your direction is wrong, suddenly you
will know it is wrong. In that case, try something else,
until the endorsement comes.
6) To refuse
to act until you receive inner guidance is good only if you can
keep your level of energy and expectation high. For it is high energy
and high expectation that attract guidance. If you must act because
you have no other way of maintaining that level of energy, then
go ahead and act. Often, it is better to act, even in error, than
not to act at all.
7) Even if you
feel inner guidance, never presume on it. That guidance may tell
you, metaphorically speaking, to go north, but if you cease listening
you may not hear it when, at the next corner, it tells you to turn
east.
8) A problem
is half solved already once it is stated clearly. In seeking guidance,
form a clear mental picture of what it is you need. Then hold that
picture up to superconsciousness at the point between the eyebrows.
People often struggle for a long time to find the inspiration they
want. No time at all is needed: only sufficient mental clarity,
and energy.
Never use the
claim of inner guidance as an argument for convincing others to
listen to you. The flow of superconsciousness is always humble,
never boastful. It doesn't cooperate with attitudes that discourage
others from seeking their own inner guidance. To tell a person,
"This is what my intuition tells me, so this is what we must
all do," is to say, in effect, "God will speak only through
me, not through anyone else." Such an attitude sooner or later
gets its comeuppance. The divine law does not endorse pride.
