A Profound Tool For Discernment

The co-ordination of activities that surround and support your souls capacities to learn and to remember who you are in your foundational elements is drawing to a greater, more benevolent conclusion. The conclusion of course is that we all remember who we are in all of our incarnations and in all of our experiences so that we can be that being that we are and that we exist as beyond this planet.
Earth is a school as you all have noticed and as a school it can be at times fun and at other times it can be very difficult indeed. One of the most difficult parts is the repetitive lessons - things that are tough that come up and happen over and over again.
When our souls come here, I believe, we are prepared for the fact that it is school but most of us are not prepared for the fact of how difficult the school will be. Therefore when opportunities come to have fun, sometimes it is difficult to know whether that fun is benevolent for us or not.
It is not my job here to state that one thing is good and one thing is bad but it is my job to try to support you in developing your discernment to know what is for you and what is for others and what that simply means is that when you are asked to participate in something, generally speaking if it feels good to you and if you feel good interacting with the people and what's going on is benevolent - good for you, good for them, good for others then it's pretty much guaranteed to be benevolent.
The key and the difficulty and the challenge for us all is knowing what is really benevolent and what's going to turn out benevolently. That is why the Feeling Body, as I call it - the portion of you that acts and reacts with physical feeling, is so important because our minds can only do so much. They can think of course and with your thoughts you can remember some of your experiences to know what has worked out and what hasn't worked out in applications from before.
I grant that sometimes your feelings might be nervous about something that may turn out to be alright. Perhaps it's something new, perhaps it's a challenge but there are many times when you get a really bad feeling about something and you know what I mean. That sinking feeling in your stomach, that extreme tightness or that burning sensation, yeah. Very often when we get those feelings we all know that this is something that's not going to turn out well.
What I'd like to do is provide something for you that people don't always provide and that is that I'd like you to know that I honor those feelings in you. If you have a sinking feeling or a bad feeling or a tightness or a burning feeling in your body, something like that - you know what I mean - then I recommend that you do consider what you are doing - that's all.
So many times people want to have fun and they don't know what's good for you. So I want to remind you that if you're not sure then you can try this discernment method:

I'd recommend that you try something that has worked so well for me. It is a process, yes, it may not be immediately accessible but it works for me every day in all kinds of decisions. It is a physical feeling. I hope you find it to be of some value.
This is what I recommend. I recommend that you sit down in a comfortable chair in a quiet spot at a quiet time of the day - turn off the ringer on the phone so you won't be disturbed - and just ask for some quiet time from friends and family. Then put your hands on your heart area - just let them sit there and you'll notice probably, a feeling of warmth that is noticeable in your heart. Keep your hands there and let the feeling be present.
It might come up - that feeling of warmth might come up you see, in some other part of your body - perhaps your stomach or your solar plexus - maybe someplace else. When you notice that feeling of warmth see if you can just go into it - don't think about it - just go into that physical feeling of warmth and see if you can feel it more. I recommend then that every day or every other day you try to have that experience of physical warmth in your body - there's a reason.
Practice it for a week or two so that you can get to the point where you can just sit down or lay down quietly someplace and focus on feeling that physical warmth in your body even if it comes up in different places at different times - that's alright. It may come up here one day, there another day, that's fine. Maybe you won't have to put your hands on your body, maybe you will - either way is fine.
When you get good at this, you will then be able to use this as a physical means of: Yes, this is for me or there's another response in your body that is: No, this is not for me. It doesn't cast judgement however. It is simply - for you or not for you. I find this is a particularly appealing aspect of this work.
Then, what to do is this. I recommend that when you need to make a decision that you state out loud to yourself in some quiet place where you're on your own - just say out loud - I could do this - and state what you could do and notice whether you get that uncomfortable feeling in your body - tightness or burning or something like that or if you feel that warmth. If you feel that warmth it probably means that this would be good for you to do. If you get a tightness or discomfort it probably means that this is not a good thing for you to do at this time or you can restate the way you said it and see how you feel.
Generally speaking if you get either a neutral feeling, meaning you don't feel one way or the other or you get a discomforting feeling then this is not for you to do at that time or in that way. Practice with it and see how it works for you.
Again, if you feel the warmth it means that this is for you or there is some aspect of it that may be advantageous for you to consider. If there is no feeling at all in your body, then rephrase the question and ask it another day. That's what I recommend.
It works well for me. I utilize it in all aspects of my life - not instead of thought but as well as thought. I find that my physical body has the capacity to offer this great form of intuitive wisdom to me and I hope it serves you well.

After practicing this it will give you another way to discern what is for you and what is for others. That's all I want to say today. There will be many opportunities for you in the near future to get on a path that will be self destructive and sometimes that looks attractive. So it will be useful perhaps to have a tool that you can go to - a means of utilizing your own body to know whether something is of value to you.
So I'd recommend you use that technique in order to improve the quality of your life and to that end I will suggest the following Living Prayer. I'd recommend that you say, "I am asking that I have a most benevolent warm and loving feeling in my body when something is good for me to do that my mind does not know about or is unsure so that I have a means of knowing what is for me and what is for others and equally if something is for others to have a brief feeling of discomfort that quickly within a few seconds passes - that my body tells me that this is not for me though it may be for others."
You understand that I'm not trying to suggest that you ask to feel bad but if you have a brief feeling of discomfort - it has to be discomfort so it will catch your attention but quickly passes in five seconds or so - that will let you know.
Think about it. If it feels good to say go ahead and say it but before you do, practice the technique above about the warmth, the loving warmth that will allow you to know - another means to know what is for you or what is for others.
Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Clarity For Decision Making - Part Two

I hope you've had a chance to begin working on your list that will help you to define and make clear to yourself the difference between what you think you want and what your physical body speaks in its physical feelings of these things.
What I recommend is that you take out your list now and you look at your original list of what you want, what you felt you need and so on and then you look at your remarks as to how your physical body reacted and reorder the list - write it back over again see.
Look where your physical body had the most comfortable reaction - don't judge the list, just look for the most comfortable reaction. Perhaps your physical body relaxed and felt comfortable when you said something. Perhaps some of you even felt warmth in your physical body. Those are the things to order at the top of the list and then where your physical body, when you said something, felt discomfort - those are the things at the bottom of the list. Discomfort would include tension but something like say itching for instance - unexpectedly having to scratch some part of your body - that would be somewhere in the middle just for an example but the most discomfort, tension and ill at ease feeling physically in your body - what you define as being ill at ease - tightness or pain - that's to be at the bottom of the list. Again, just write in down according to that. Don't jump to conclusions.
Now after you've completed that rewriting of the list, your list will probably be in a different order at least partly, and you will see that some of the things you really think you want and might be able to justify as needing are at the very bottom of the list and some of the things you thought perhaps were only mild wants or desires are at the top of the list. Don't move those things that are at the top of the list alright - let them be at the top of the list because that's your physical body telling you that these things are desirable and very possibly things that you can acquire in some way because your physical body not only tells you that physically they're desirable but since your physical body is involved in the creation of your reality that your physical body can draw to you the experiences that will allow these things to occur in the most benevolent way.
Now look at the list and see - there were some things that you first wrote on the list that seemed very important indeed and when you look at the list now and see them down at the bottom it makes you feel confused. Pick one of those things just to practice now and what to do is this - get another piece of paper out. Write that thing at the top of the paper the way you wrote it on your list originally and I want you to write it in at least three different ways or more if you like, restating it - alright - just restating what it is that you want or need, whatever your thought was about that thing.
We're not looking to perfect it mentally but if you can get it in a way that you feel is more clear of what you want but is that thing that you originally wrote about, that's what we're looking for. Two or three different ones would be fine - descriptions of what you want - see - but you can write more, alright. Then we're going to close up that piece of paper for a time and put it on top perhaps or with, maybe underneath the other list and cover that up and put it away for a day or so.
Then not unlike the last time, take the list out the next time. It can be a few hours later or a day or so later, whatever you can do, whatever's convenient - take it out and look at that piece of paper. Either cover up the top thing that you wrote down that is the copy of what you originally wrote on the first list - see - or if it's a separate piece of paper you can fold it over so you can't see it - see. Then read off the items that you wrote below it, just read the first one and notice how your physical body reacts - the same way you tried in the first read off and make notes.
You may find that the rewriting of this desirable thing has other actions in your body. Maybe everything that you read, one thing at a time making notes of how your physical body reacts afterwards, maybe that will still be uncomfortable but maybe because of the rewriting and getting clearer one of the things or more will have a good feeling in your body.
What we're looking for here is to synchronize your mind and your physical body clarity. It is not your mind teaching your body. It is rather your body teaching your mind. I believe and have discovered the truth of this that our physical body actually presents us with physical evidence - our physical feelings - to demonstrate to us what is good for us in any given moment with the most benevolent feelings and is guiding us very often as to what is going to work out well for us.
Get to learn the feelings in your body that are benevolent. If you have a tight and uncomfortable feeling this may not be the best thing for you to do. If on the other hand you have a warm or relaxed feeling this may be a better thing that you can do and may be successful sooner and opportunities can be more easily created.
Your physical body is the connector to Earth and all that is on it and it will give you physical evidence by the way your body feels as to what can work in the easiest, smoothest and most benevolent way and very often in the quickest way. Your body will thus instruct your mind on the creation of physical reality in this way.
I hope you find this homework effective and helpful and use it as a tool when you are in doubt about how to pursue your life in the most benevolent way.
Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
