“Even when you become adept at accessing your
intuition, the intellect will remain a powerful force in your life. The world
pays great homage to information…In practicing this new communication with your
soul, notice when you find yourself relying on your intellect. When you
recognize this impulse, simply draw yourself down into your heart, as though
your eyes and ears were there…The Soul’s perspective is infused with enthusiasm
and fearlessness and an exquisite Love of self.”
The Message: A Guide to
Being Human. LD Thompson (2011).

At The Light Tree, the four
of us have experienced many life changing events over the last few weeks. We
are always grateful to be reminded that is it helpful to view the experience
through the lens of intuitive guidance. This has enabled us to experience a
deeper sense of peace whenever we are tempted to view our life situations
through the five senses and our intellect.
It is interesting to notice
when we feel tired, distressed, achy or irritable. Quite often these are symptoms
that we are relying on our intellect to make sense of the world. We have become
over-identified with using its tiny perspective to make sense of information
that appears to be coming into our field of awareness.
Our ego-mind tries to
convince us that it is keeping us safe by projecting our concerns into the
future or using references from the past to make comparisons. Any sense of
discomfort is a sign that we have strayed away from the present moment which is
potent with infinite possibilities.
This explanation by Paul
Ferrini helps us to remember why it is essential to step out of the limitations
of fear into openness and the expectation of miracles….
“It is the nature of the ego to become attached to
the past, and to project the past forward into the future. The ego wants what
is familiar, because it is basically uncomfortable with change. Its job is to
create continuity.
If something is continuous, it is not miraculous. Miraculous events are not continuous with what happened before them. They represent a shift of energy, a movement out of past perception, past limitation. They are unpredictable, unexpected and in many cases inscrutable.
You call them miracles because God's hand is in them. But without your permission, they could not take place. Without your surrender of the past, miracles could not come into your life.

You prepare the ground for them. You create the space
in which they occur.”
