How are you best served-through ego mind or intuition?


Some people put their greatest trust in their reasoning mind, the ego mind who is always self serving when they should actually put their greatest trust in their Intuitive powers where truth, wisdom and honesty prevail.  

Intuition has nothing to do with logic or reason, it is all about the voice of the Universal Truth guiding your way and sending you messages that will direct your path in a creative and uplifting way.  Sometimes we ignore and don’t even hear the message because we are too preoccupied in the material world that we miss the clues but none-the-less they speak to us and try to give us what we need to be happy and successful.

If you are not familiar with your intuition and its gifts, you can easily ignore it and place all of your trust in your reasoning mind, which solicits your attention through fear or guilt, a sense of obligation and/or a need to make others feel good.  Your intuition is a natural talent and gift given to each one of us so that we can get a real sense or vision or even feeling about someone or something that is in our lives.  It helps us discern, make sound choices or decisions and it absolutely gives us the best solution if and when we are awake sufficiently to hear its voice.  Its voice is clear and direct and when you hear it, you experience clarity of vision and purpose.  It is a consistent and gentle voice that is calming and re-assuring not combative or contradictory.  The ego mind is usually saying things like:  I need to put that person in its place; I plan on getting even with them and no one is going to do that to me.  Scarcity, fear, anxiety and lack are all based on the ego mind while feeling positive, moral, hopeful and thrilled or excited about your choices is most often attributed to the intuitive and instinctive signals or signs.

So how can you tell the difference between the two?  Only by practice!  There is no quick fix or easy pill —only practice—discipline and a patient attitude that with time you enable you to hear clearly and with a genuine sense of knowing that the messages you are receiving are for your highest and best good.

Without question, it is challenging to discern the difference but I can absolutely guarantee you that with practice and time, you will most definitely learn the difference between the two and when you do, you will truly feel the joy and peace that that relationship brings forth. 

I encourage you to seek out and ask your intuition to speak to you and help you understand and hear its voice.  With time it will show you how to distinguish between self-talk and your Higher Voice.  It often speaks without emotion or judgment; it simply shares the truth and allows you to make the right choice. 

Some key thoughts that will help you know and understand the difference between your ego mind and your intuitive, higher self are:

1.    When what you are hearing really feels right and good

2.    When you feel like the messages you are receiving give you a sense of relief and confidence

3.    When you question the thought or decision but know that it is really truth and justified

4.    When you reflect on the thought or decision and it really makes sense as it brightens your heart and you feel content        

5.    When you feel less fearful and more calm and relaxed knowing that what you are hearing comes from power not weakness

Remember your intuition speaks to you in a quiet voice—it never shouts or speaks from anger or fear—only from a depth within your soul where peace and love prevail.  Make time for this practice and you will most definitely enjoy a more fulfilling and peaceful life.
