Discernment
Discernment
As discussed in Part Two, authentic messages can be recognized as internal positively-phrased directives. In this way they are unlike authoritative "no" messages which direct us not to do something, even if these also come from within.
Authentic messages are also different from "buy" messages, in that they do not have a specific end clearly associated with them. There is no "sales pitch" in authenticity, and the end result of following these promptings is not spelled out for us. Our authentic inner voice does no convincing, pleading, and smakes no argument as to its merits.
Also, when we think about an authentic prompting, we may not be able to "figure out" the end result of following its directive. In this way, authentic promptings may be deemed "irrational." This is not an insult, it is a description of that which surpasses intellect.
Our authentic voice is also not related to memories (such as remembering someone tellling us what we should do), nor is it a program of predictable activity (such as "if I exercise every day, then I'll lose five pounds ...."). Our Authentic Voice is something quite different, and its hallmarks are:
internal
directive
positively phrased
unpredictable/irrational
Our authentic voice can be experienced by accepting that it is prompting us simply at every moment-- including this one. It is often quiet, and may speak in a plain or neutral tone. Authentic direction is usually as simple as "take a right turn here," and rarely as dramatic as "this is the secret to the universe!"
Acting on our authentic promptings means we take the right turn whether or not we know where it is going to take us. When we get practiced at this, we realize that the results of such obedience to our authentic self always yield extraordinary opportunities, meetings, coincidences and results. We then reinforce it naturally, and our Authentic Voice becomes a trusted inner sense.
As for discernment, this is your job, and no one can "teach" you through it. It is a matter of practice. So please do not take my word for how your authentic voice speaks to you, nor let your mind argue the merits of it. Just get real evidence by acting on what you hear when you listen for your authentic voice, and notice the results. In a short time, you will begin to make even more distinctions about how your authentic voice is communicating with you...
