Have you ever caught yourself wondering, why don’t I feel happy right now? While you believe in duality, in the maze of space-time, you need help to get back to your natural state of true happiness. That’s where guidance comes in! It’s very practical. Henry David Thoreau once said, “most men live lives of quiet desperation.” Let’s take a look at those moments of quiet desperation! Do you ever feel bored or feel a dullness in your life? If you are not living a life right now that is consistently and supremely happy, you have some compromise going on in your mind. The sneakiest thing about compromise is that you don’t know you’re compromising!
You think, well at least I have it better than this person or that person. Or, I am better off than most people on the planet. This is a subtle form of a superiority complex. You think, in a false sense of littleness, that the little-you is better off than others.
When you write a gratitude list, are most of the things on the list material objects? If so, re-write your list, thinking about the state of mind that you are grateful for. If you have trouble making that list, it’s time to question: Am I living a life of compromise?
Everything comes from the Spirit or the ego. There is no in-between. It’s not something like horse shoes, where you can get really close. It’s not a matter of getting closer. Anytime that you are not exuding joy, there is a compromise in your mind. Expose it and end it! Once you know your true identity, you cannot lose it. You might think that there are false benefits that you can find on planet Earth that make you think I’ve got it pretty good. That is the ego trying to lure you in!
Trust the intuitive prompts that you get. The prompts will take the place of all of your learning and conditioning. Now you are on a path of learning to trust Divine Guidance. You may seem to have set-backs. It takes patience.
