"How to Know If Guidance is from God or the Devil?"
http://www.healpastlives.com/future/rule/ruguidnc.htm

When you start on your quest to seek "Divine Guidance", you will usually go through the process of learning to discern the difference between "Spirit based" and "Ego-based" guidance. In other words, when you get guidance, is it coming from "God" or the "devil"?

To understand what this means, you must first understand the types of guidance as well as how it may be communicated to you. There are three types of guidance. The first two (spirt and ego based) will present you with truths - neither are false in that sense (as is evil based guidance). The first two offer guidance in your own best interests - neither truly wish to harm you (which is not the case with the third).

"Spirit-based" Guidance comes direct from God and/or His Servants of the Universe and is grounded in love and abundance.

"Ego-based" guidance comes from the "small self" inside you - the "ego" part of you - and is mired in fear and survival.

"Evil" guidance seeks to put you or others in the way of harm. This is not "true" guidance but "evil" entities drawing you into a "dark path".

There are various ways to receive inner guidance. Each way has it's own advantages or disadvantages: one is not inherently better than the other. They are just different. There is...

Clairvoyance ("clear seeing") - seeing images, still or moving, in your mind's eye.
Clairaudience ("clear hearing") - hearing voices, yours/others, in your mind's ear.
Clairsentience ("clear feeling") - feeling guided by emotional/physical sensations.
Claircognizant ("clear knowing") - knowing without knowing how you know it.
Clairomni ("clear channel") - moving between all of the above channels.

This month's featured page will show you how to distinguish between the different types of inner guidance. After you read it, you will be able to tell if what you are getting is from God or the devil!

KARMA IN THE NEWS:
"Hearing the Call of Soul: Divine Career Guidance"

The past is still present even in the present day news.

From ABC News - "What Should I Do with My Life?" by Po Bronson. "Wouldn't it be so much easier if you got a letter in the mail when you were seventeen, signed by someone who had a direct pipeline to Ultimate Meaning, telling you exactly who you are and what your true destiny is? Then you could carry this letter around in your pocket, and when you got confused or distracted and suddenly melted down, you'd reach for your wallet and grab the letter and read it again and go, 'Oh, right'", that's what I should be doing!

"Well, a friend of mine has such a letter... One day at school he received his letter, signed by the Dalai Lama... The letter said he wasn't Choeaor (known as 'Ali') Dondup after all. Instead, he was the reincarnation of a warrior who, along with his five brothers, had ruled a poor and remote region of eastern Tibet six lifetimes ago."

"The brothers had descended from one of Genghis Khan's grandsons. Ali's Previous One turned his back on the family's violent rule and became a monk. Over his lifetime he founded thirteen monasteries and became the great spiritual leader of this region, the Tehor. Ali's real name was Za Rinpoche, which is Tibetan for 'The Dharma King'."

"Imagine! You're not a dumb, lost, inexperienced seventeen-year-old! We actually have a spot picked out for you! And not just any spot! Wanted: Great Spiritual Leader. No experience necessary... You think it would be easy if your destiny were offered on a silver platter. But Ali went around for a few days expressing his angst and annoying his friends by debating whether this was the right thing to do."

"What would it be like to have this certainty about your place in the world? To have it in writing from the Dalai Lama himself! (Meeting "Ali" years later, Po learns that "possessing that letter had not relieved him of having to figure out where he really belonged and make some hard choices. In his mind, this question was not settled."

"If it were me, no matter how great it would be to have a spiritual calling, and to be given this early in life, I'd still have that American notion of needing to discover things myself. I'd need independence - I'd feel controlled. I might... be testy about having my calling put upon me rather than arriving at it by myself."

"We have mixed feelings about the seductive notion of destiny. There's a persistent tension between wanting our life's purpose to be revealed to us by some higher power and wanting to... fight for it against all odds-to earn it without help. We think about destiny sort of like how we feel about inheritance - we covet its fruit but it's sweeter if we earned it ourselves... Which was how (Rinpoche) had lived, too. His purpose was given to him, but he'd had to go find it anyway."

As this story so wonderfully illustrates, hearing the call of Soul does not mean that life is automatically settled or easy. That is what is meant by the Bible when it says: "The Kingdom of Heaven must be won every day" and in every life, day after day.

KARMA AT THE MOVIES:
"Ghost: Taking Care of Unfinished Business"

"You Will Believe"... in life after death and more... was one of the headlines for the now classic movie, "Ghost". Shortly after it begins, Sam, the main character, is murdered and it soon becomes his mission to solve the mystery behind why it happened. On the surface, it appears to be the tragic result of a random mugging.

Digging deeper, Sam discovers to his horror that his killer was hired to murder him. Worse, he has reason to believe that Molly, his live-in lover, may be the killer's next target. Desparate to help her, Sam recruits psychic Oda Mae who reluctantly agrees to contact Molly and warn her of the impending danger. Molly is grief stricken and does not want to believe Oda Mae's seemishly outlandish story.

Molly starts to become a believer when Oda Mae delivers "messages from beyond the grave" that could only have come from Sam. When Sam causes a penny to fly through the air into Molly's palm, she finally becomes convinced and helps Sam/Oda Mae in solving his murder.

Events take an unexpected turn when he finds out that Carl, his best friend and coworker, had Sam murdered to stop him from uncovering Carl's bank fraud. Sam turns the tables on Carl by having Oda Mae withdraw the "ill gotten gains" from the bank and donate it to a group of nuns. In desperation, Carl threatens to kill Molly unless his money is returned. A knock down, drag out fight ensues where Carl is killed.

Now that all the unfinished business has been taken care of, Sam's time on Earth ends... after bidding a loving farewell to Molly.

"Ghost" may have come from a scriptwriter's imagination but... there are plenty of cases of such after life communication in "real life". Most often this happens when the one who has departed has unfinished business from their last life that they need to clear up before they can move onto their next one. This is a form of inner guidance in that the knowledge imparted is "not of this world!"
