Feelings and our Inner Guidance

By your feelings you will know yourself.

The accomplishment of our most magnificent personal vision of ourselves is what we seek.  This is our desire. The realization that we are climbing the progressive steps towards that greater vision of what we are, brings the feelings: moving towards what we can be. This is what brings that satisfaction, that fulfillment and, at times - jubilation.  The journey is the thing. 

But make no mistake about it,what we all desire, deep down, are the feelings. We're after the bodily and mental sensations which arise within us when we sense our heart’s desire matches our spiritual guidance.  When these match we are in harmony with our Truest Self.  This is the feedback. It comes when little self and Higher Self align.

Our noblest desires emanate from our Higher Self. You might say they reflect the state of our soul; our soul being the content of our subconscious mind along with our ‘spark of God,’ the spirit.  The spirit is, in most of us, immersed in soul stuff, and the brilliance of its light varies considerably from person to person.  Like light shining from within an opaque glass bottle, how much light that comes through is dependent of the soul’s conditioning.

It has been said, “By their acts you will know them,” as an indicator as to the ‘purity’ of our soul.  Certainly I’ll not dispute that.  But to us, personally, it is our feelings that state unequivocally the sought of person we presently are.
