YOU ARE NEVER ALONE By Margaret Paul, Ph.D.
What if you knew that you were never alone - that you were
always being guided by a personal source of spiritual guidance?
If you knew and experienced this, you would undoubtedly feel
safe and peaceful.
This guidance is here for each of us and all individuals can
learn to access it. Learning to do this is quite simple, yet I'm
not going to tell you that it's always easy.
I was trained in psychology and practiced as a traditional
psychotherapist for 17 years. I discovered in those years that I
was not happy with the results of traditional psychotherapy. At
some point in those years I realized that healing could not
happen without a spiritual connection. In these last 18 years,
I've been facilitating healing through helping people discover
their personal spiritual guidance. This makes all the difference
in the world regarding the depth and progress of their inner
work.
Our guidance is here to support us in our highest good. The way
to access this guidance is simple; when our deepest intention is
to support our own highest good - when our deepest desire in any
given moment is to know what is truly loving to ourselves and we
are willing to take loving action in our own behalf, Spirit will
show us the way.
As I already stated, this is simple but not easy. While we may
consciously think our intention is to love ourselves and support
our highest good, our unconscious intention in any given moment
may be very different, and it is this deeper intention that
actually governs whether or not we connect with our guidance. If
your deeper, unconscious intention in connecting with Spirit is
to:
- Have control over blocking out or getting rid of your painful
feelings;
- Have control over how others feel about you and treat you;
- Have control over the outcome of things...
...then you will not be able to connect with your guidance. When
your deepest desire is to control rather than learn about loving
yourself and others, you will not be able to access Spirit. And
we can't fool Spirit. We can't get away with tricking ourselves
or Spirit. For example, one of my clients was having trouble
connecting with Spirit. When I asked him if his true intent was
to be loving to himself when he was attempting to speak with his
guidance, he stated, "Of course I want to be loving to myself.
Then maybe I'll be healthy enough to meet the woman of my
dreams." In this case, his deeper intent was to have control
over meeting the woman of his dreams. Until he wanted to be
loving to with no outcome in mind other than the desire to be a
more loving human being, spiritual guidance would elude him.
Connecting with our guidance is easy when our deepest desire is
to evolve into a more loving human being - with ourselves and
others. When we have the courage to take loving action in our
own behalf - such as standing up for ourselves, telling our
truth, taking risks to discover our joy, taking care of
ourselves physically through diet and exercise, feeling our
painful feelings and taking responsibility for what we are doing
to create our own pain - then Spirit will show us the way.
Spirit will find a way to communicate with you - such as through
words, feelings, images, books, dreams, or other people - when
your pure desire is to learn about love, starting with loving
yourself and taking 100% responsibility for your own feelings
and needs.
Are you ready to take loving care of yourself rather than expect
others to do it for you? Are you ready to take responsibility
for your pain instead of blaming others for it? Are you ready to
create your joy and self-esteem rather than relying on others to
do this for you? When you are really ready to take loving care
of yourself, then ask Spirit how to do it and you will be shown
the way. Your guidance is just waiting for you to ask.
