Easy to get out of practice listening to the truth source living inside. We get bogged down trying to define truth itself.

What I know is what I know only in this moment.

It helps to remember that we are not the boss of our life. We do try to control so much of it, even with supposedly good intentions. Our fake ego, or alter ego, thinks it is in charge, making up this and that.

Then something happens that throws everything up in the air.

Seems that upheaval is the only way to get our attention. Welcome chaos when it knocks on your door. Some-one(thing) pretty special wants you to do something pretty special. Don't let fear of black holes keep you immobile.

We each came here to do something. As Steven Pressfield says, Do the Work.  "Start before you're ready."

For me today, the outer work is weed eating and cleaning my guest cottage.

My real work shows up minute by minute.

Living our Soul's Life

I've been doing a lot of thinking (never sure about this word) about how we each live our lives through very limited filters....especially the one about how we only live one physical life (so short and confined to where we are born and how we are raised) and how, if we really understood the larger scope of our soul's life, we might live our present physical life just a bit differently.

The choreography of what has brought each of us to this exact moment of now, is so exquisitely designed, that if we could fully grasp this concept, we would literally have our breath taken away.

Blindly following the crowd does not always lead to your authentic path. Your intuition knows better than the group-mind.

Trusting yourself takes practice...and, well, trust. 

And, it takes a forgiving, compassionate patience for the imperfect you.
Know that your inner core knows and listen from the inside.

We listen to others more than our intuitive gut instinct in making life decisions. Turn up the volume of your inner voice.

We always have access to the best answers to life's questions. But, often they get muddled by the opinions of others and our own insecurities and thought editing. Each time we listen, and act, from our intuitive gut instinct, the messsages get easier to recognize. The information comes in the very first split second of thought and perception. It takes practice, and more practice, to keep the flow open.

Life becomes more interesting, fun and simple...connected to source.

Listening

Listen to yourself, but not by just playing and rewinding the same old thoughts.
The answer to every question is available to you.

Get neutral. This means no expectations or pre-conceived notions.

Ask.
Listen, or notice via body signals, to very first "something" that shows up.
Don't evaluate or edit your response.
