Dear Abinashi,
Sat Nam! I am happy you are reading and pondering my New Millennium
Being newsletters.
Self-empowerment, of which discernment is an important aspect, is a
personal process. We must train ourselves
1. to listen within
2. to trust our intuition and feelings
3. to act upon what our inner guidance tells us
4. to be willing to experiment and then experience the result - could be
yes, could be no. The result will guide us to the next step.
5. to love oneself, which means eliminating guilt, shame, and negative
self-judgment. We live in a trail and result world, and we are doing the
best we can given our limited consciousness in a world of learning lessons.
There are many, many situations in life that require the above.
Ultimately the test is the extent to which we are at peace within
ourselves, love ourselves, and can relax into the flow of life.
Focus on the above and not on the specific issue and you will cultivate
discernment.
Blessings,
Guru Rattana :+)
