Asante, what advice would you give on contacting and listening to one's higher self? I've achieved it a few times in the past six months without actually knowing what was going on at the time except for a feeling of connection to the source, but am wondering if there's any pointers or tips on getting past barriers/not letting other selves into the conversation?
Enter monologue towards your Higher Self, even if you get no answer you are not talking into thin air. S/he always listens. When the motivation is right, and the time is right, and you are ready for it, s/he will speak. Your intentions matter lots and occasional monologue helps to cast them into stone. With experience, you will know its your Higher Self speaking. Intuition will be on its side. "miracles" or rather extremely notable synchronicities will accompany the communications, underline its validity. Then you know its real. Its nothing supernatural, the miracle to ME is that you have this epically wise subconscious and yet your conscious personality, basically its kid brother, is directing the body/mind through life. Its literally like going for a moped ride with your kid brother and letting him drive. The subconscious us so much wiser, has knowledge of past and future and DEEP insight in the present and yet this Wise One, this completely Loving One, is taking the passenger seat and lets you blunder through life, with occasional hints to keep you in the right direction while you blunder into addictions, toxic relationships, drunk driving car accidents, obesity, all the ill advised stuff people do that harms their body and that of others, out of pure love and just so you can learn.
He's your archetypal big brother, eternally forgiving of your folly, eternally loving, wise and patient.
Getting that line open, good rapport between your higher self and your conscious self, is one of the best things you can do because you'll have a second opinion of great importance you can always fall back on.
The higher self doesnt command, it suggests and is loving and forgiving of whatever you choose, even if you insultingly disregard it.
One BIG THING you must realize though:
It won't tell you the truth, it will tell you what you at that time need to hear for the best possible outcome.
Don't expect you'll get how it is in all instances and don't feel lied to when something completely different happens than is foretold. Its not about making you omniscient, its about making you have the right insights and decisions at the right times, that is more in your interest than being told a truth that might well throw you into stagnance.
