Читать книгу Your Psychic Soul - Judith Pennington - Страница 43

Psychic information typically comes with some degree of inner certainty: the vision, voice, feeling, or inner knowing wells up on its own, and we feel the truth of it. Even with this validation, the new psychic may doubt the source of his or her guidance and wonder if it’s coming from the voice of the ego or the voice of the soul.

To discern the difference, simply go back into your psychic state to evaluate the message. Use your clairsentience to check the validity of the information. It’s always wise to do this same reality-check on intuitive guidance received from others as well.

If the guidance you receive tells you what to think or what actions to take, the ego is definitely involved, as the soul never impinges on our free will. The transcendent soul is unemotional (it never worries), and it never dictates a course of action. The soul leaves choices to the heart, mind, and body, since it is only through our choices—and the wisdom of experience—that we grow.

The intuitive soul evokes feelings of peace, comfort, and spaciousness while presenting information that provides context for decisions. It encourages us by pointing out our goodness and potential. It never sets us apart or makes us feel superior to others. Only the ego plays that role.

To distinguish the two voices, ask this simple question: “Does this psychic voice, vision, feeling, or inner knowing stir sensations of panic and uncertainty or spaciousness and promise?”

The ego’s monkey-mind feeds on worry, dread, and fear. The Spirit comforts, loves, and encourages us. These are two very different movements: one urges us to spiral downward, and the other urges us to spiral upward. Each indicates the fundamental nature of its consciousness.
