EXPERIENCE VS INSPIRATION

Our beliefs affect the way we perceive life, and our experiences, and the way in which we handle challenges.   (Challenges are called obstacles to the negative person.)

Most of us react on our past experiences that have become beliefs.  When in fact we should be acting on fresh, clean, powerful inspiration.  Very often these past experiences are based on negative events, that caused us emotional pain.


When we act from fresh, clean, powerful inspiration, we bypass past experiences and we focus only on the now, and not the past.  It is much like being a new born baby that has not experienced any hurt or trauma.

You may say this is a bad thing.... as we are so conditioned to thinking that we have made mistakes, when in fact, these are really lessons that were presented to us to learn specific concepts about life.  Many people think that their lesson is the hardship and suffering that they must endure... this is not the lesson, but the result of not learning the lesson.  Not punishment.  Our lessons help us to grow and thus enable us to face bigger challenges with success.  When we do not learn from them, we are not equipped to deal with these lessons and thus suffer unnecessarily.

Therefore, if, for example, your spouse or partner was unfaithful to you... the lesson is NOT to avoid all people of the opposite sex.  Nor is it to mistrust or generalise about all people of the opposite sex.  That would be the same as someone mistrusting you, or generalising you into a box called 'unfaithful' simply because you belong to the opposite gender of that person that has experienced pain at the hands of someone of your gender.

Somehow I don't think you would like so see yourself in that box... Just as other's, just as innocent as yourself, don't either wanted to be labelled.

Any reaction is not from inspiration, but from emotion, or the emotions of past experiences.  How often it is that we react on a situation, feeling angry, hurt or any other negative emotion, only to later regret it and wish that we could pull back our reaction.  Given time, we are better able to calm down, receive inspiration, and act, rather than react.

Have you ever heard somebody say, "I will sleep on it.."?  There is great truth in this... We receive inspiration through intuition, meditation, dreams, angel guides and spirits, among other things.  These divine resources are there for all of us to tap into, we just have to ask, believe and we will be guided.  If you would like the answers to a specific challenge, or inspiration on a specific matter, do the following exercise at night before you sleep:   Say "I will dream about .................., and remember my dream".  Repeat this about 30 times before falling asleep.  It must be the last thing on your mind as you drift off.   You might not remember your dreams straight away, but the more often you do this the more you will remember.   You will get your answers and inspiration.

Dreams guide us and they help us to deal with the issues of daily living, from another state of consciousness.  Much like seeing yourself outside yourself.... from someone else's perpective.  If you are taking anti-depressants, you may not remember your dreams as most anti-depressants suppress your dreams.

We are so accustomed to ignoring our intuition, that most of us seldom hear it.  The best way to open yourself up to your intuition is to believe in it, be aware of it.  Do simple things like guessing who is calling you, or texting you, before answering.  Remember intuition may warn you of danger, but there is a difference between intuition and ego.  If you are having negative feelings, then it could very well be your ego speaking to you.

Your ego is the voice inside your head that tells you that you will fail;  that you are ugly;  or stupid;  or overweight.  The one that tells you to give up;  that all the world is working against you;  that there is scarcity, rather than abundance.  Your ego wants to be in control, and as long as you allow it to, you will not be aware of your true self, your inspiration, your intuition.

Here is a great book about unlocking your intuition:

    1. Absolutely, and spills over into the other areas of a clients life. Healthy inner self-concept allows us to function optimally in any situation, and to receive guidance and direction. Thanks for your input.
