Discernment comes to us because we are wise in
our use of energy and because we focus our attention
on our Presence. We open our eyes and ears and inner
senses to the intimations from our Source so that we
are able to hear, feel, and know the voice of God
within, which is always there as our conscience speaking to us, guiding us, directing us.
Discernment implies that we have options and
that we can choose, by free will, the way to go in any
given situation. Through discernment, we can opt to
make right decisions that move us forward on our
path; we can choose the highest road to walk. Sometimes it is a road less traveled by humanity, who are
more focused on the lesser self, with its predilections
and vices.
Through discernment, which comes as a gift of the
Holy Spirit, wrapped into a beautiful opportunity to
know God through holy gnosis, we can abide within
the holiness of the Lord. We can know from a higher
mindfulness. We can cognize through our heart, which
is the chakra through which discernment comes to us
naturally when our heart is trued to the heart of God
and is in alignment with the mind of God, the vision of
God, the soulfulness of God, the voice of God, and the
purity of God.
