2/3/09 ... Follow Our Spirit Without Hesitation

FOLLOW YOUR SPIRIT ... WITHOUT HESITATION

Do you ever have things you know about people? Do you ever think to yourself, “I really love that person” and then tell them how much you love them?
Yet you leave out the realization you had that they NEEDED to hear it?
There are thoughts behind thoughts behind thoughts, yet there’s a place where we only speak what’s in the forefront. We do not speak what’s further back and what’s even further back than that. People long so much for intimacy and truth, but they’re only willing to go to a certain level in sharing their own thoughts.
Then there’s the other version, where we have something to say that’s not so loving and beautiful; and we hold it in and we lie. And you know what? This is a very telepathic world — they know we’re lying! They may not want to hear what we have to say, so they’ll let it go; it’s an 'Agreement to Collude' around the Lie. “I know you lied to me but I’m going to let it go because I don’t want to hear what you were going to say.”
Have you ever heard people speaking and you feel the flow of higher truth moving through them and, all of a sudden, there is sort of a pause and you hear words fill in the next gap and you realize that the energy’s changed somehow? That is where the personality or mental body came in to make sure they were getting it right and that no one listening thought they were messing up.

How many of us spend a good portion of our life trying to
understand other people and be understood by them?
What would life be like if we gave up the need
to understand and the need to be understood?
The gift that life offers every being that exists is a unique perception of All That Is. No one will, nor can, know life in the same way we know it. No one will ever have the same way of seeing things, the same way of knowing things, the same way of hearing things ... EVER.

Imagine how it would be if we didn’t have to stand guard, editing at the doorway of our mind, saying, “Oops, that’s a good thought! OOPS, that’s a bad thought!” There are all kinds of places where we rob ourselves of our own divine force; it is then that speaking from the heart becomes squelched by reason. Just because something occurs to us doesn't mean that we're going to manifest it into form or that we'll even be drawn to say it.
Just because we say something doesn’t mean it’s right and other people have to change their lives around it. So plucking out the idea that we have to be right, also plucks out the manipulative tendencies and lets us drop the burden of significance!
In following our spirits without hesitation things occur to us and we say them.
That sparks, or doesn’t spark, insights. If we feel inspired to say something to someone
that makes no sense from our perspective, we still say it. Sense is optional.
We cannot see the “Big Picture” and do not have the power or the control to know what will unfold in the vastness of the Universe.
You can even prepare all the people in your life and say, “Look, I’m going to be doing this new thing. I’m going to be practicing following my spirit without hesitation, it might inconvenience you in some way. So ahead of time, I apologize for any inconveniences. Just know that I’m doing this spiritual discipline.” That will make your emotional body feel a little better.
When you follow your spirit without hesitation, a lot of your ecstasy and fulfillment comes from hindsight. You look back and say, “WOW! Can you believe that? This, this, this, this — and it all came together and it was this? WOW! Am I glad I followed my spirit!” But in terms of foresight in following spirit, it's not likely.
You’ll be given visions which may or may not manifest. They may be given to you simply to give you the illusion that you have some sense of direction because you still seek that. Spirit may actually blatantly misdirect you to stimulate certain insights. You can tell how much you resist your fear by how much you wish to be in control in your life.
Desire for control is directly related to the amount of fear
that we make important in our life. The less fear that we make important,the less we have any desire to be in control.
You have emotion — so what? Emotions are emotions. Follow your spirit without hesitation and then deal with whatever that brings up for you. But the first order of business is to follow your spirit without hesitation. The second order of business is to deal with the fear. Most people put it the other way around. “If I can handle this fear I’ll follow my spirit.”
Well, follow your spirit and eventually the fear will stop tagging along. You will have such a deep experience of faith in universal principles after following your spirit for awhile that the fears will just go away. But you aren’t going to get it first. You aren’t going to get that faith first. That faith comes after you’ve been doing it for awhile. It comes from the experience of it working.
The fulfillment of expressing whatever it is that our spirit wishes to express in every moment, the feeling of that energy moving through us, the vitality of that, is life! It doesn’t matter whether we understand or whether we are understood. We are in our natural state when we are following our spirit without hesitation.

To follow our spirit without hesitation is very simply to choose life over death. Our spirit is the source of our life. Hesitation is death. Editing is death. Lying is death.
