Every Individual Has A Different Path

“So, the truth is, there’s not one path.

The truth is, there’s not only one right path.

The truth is, all paths can be made to be the right path.

The truth is, that every individual has a different path. And that different path that every individual is launching incrementally—and amending constantly—that true path is known by Source and is guided by Source if you will pay attention to the way you feel.”

Abraham Hicks, 10/13/04

Your Intuition

“Intuition is access to compassion and wisdom that is beyond what we are able to give one another.  It is communication with nonphysical guides and Teachers, whose only interest is your spiritual growth.  The first part of accessing intuition is to ask a question. The second part is to listen for the answer.  The answer will always come, although perhaps not in the way or at the time that you expect.

Your answer might come while you are in the shower, out of a walk, or driving to work.  It may not be what you want to hear.  Answers that come from your intuition will often surprise you. Your intellect will always rationalize what you want to do.

Intuitive insights are not directives, instructions, or commandments.  Your nonphysical Teachers will not tell you what to do. They will lead you to the full scope and depth of your creative capacity, help you see options that you have not thought about, and consider the consequences that each will create.

Only you can decide how you will use your will to shape energy into matter, and what karma you will create. Responsibility for your choices is always yours alone, no matter whom you consult in the process of making them, including nonphysical Teachers.”

Meeting Your Thoughts with Understanding

“A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It is not our thoughts, but the attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring.

A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years. Most people think that they are what their thoughts tell them they are.

One day I noticed that I wasn’t breathing—I was being breathed. Then I also noticed, to my amazement, that I wasn’t thinking—that I was actually being thought and that thinking isn’t personal. Do you wake up in the morning and say to yourself, ‘I think I won’t think today?’  It’s too late: You’re already thinking!

Thoughts just appear. They come out of nothing and go back to nothing, like clouds moving across the empty sky. They come to pass, not to stay. There is no harm in them until we attach to them as if they were true.

No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don’t let go of my thoughts—I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.

Thoughts are like the breeze or the leaves on the trees or the raindrops falling. They appear like that, and through inquiry, we can make friends with them.  Would you argue with a raindrop? Raindrops aren’t personal, and neither are thoughts.

Once a painful concept is met with understanding, the next time it appears you may find it interesting. What used to be the nightmare is now just interesting. The next time it appears, you may find it funny. The next time, you may not even notice it. This is the power of loving what is.”
