I seem to experience guidance. Where is it coming from? Q #945: My question has to do with following the idea from A Course in Miracles of “not asking the Holy Spirit for parking spaces,” as Ken puts it. Although I tend not to ask for help in the physical world for things for myself, I do find myself getting guidance from a source that has clearly morphed from taking Jesus hand. The guidance is loving and leads to many holy instants where I see my brother as sinless, but it also does advise me in physical matters, such as where to live, where to go, what to say and who to say it to, etc. Is this an interim guidance that understands that I am not quite ready to walk next to Jesus in equality. Or perhaps is it equality manifesting itself in the world that I have not yet let go of? Am I getting the point sufficiently that I am supposed to accept this guidance as it leads me up the ladder? Or am I deluding myself by accepting what has been fairly accurate guidance in the physical world? A: We cannot say definitively what the source of your guidance is. It could be right-minded, reflecting your choice to switch from the ego to Jesus as your teacher. As a way of “protecting” herself from the full radiance of the love in her mind, Helen Schucman most of the time allowed love into her awareness only in the form of a voice telling her where to shop, where to wait for a cab, etc. (see Absence from Felicity , chapter 17). But when she no longer needed this defense, that phase of her relationship with Jesus ended; she no longer limited his love in an attempt to make it -- and him -- more manageable by her. If your experiences are originating from a right-minded choice, they will advance you spiritually to the extent to which you do not get caught in the form of the guidance and make it into something special in your life. Try to stay with the content -- the loving source in your mind -- aware that your function is to reverse your choice to be separate from that source. You make progress in fulfilling this function by asking for help to let go of your judgments of yourself and others, and instead to see yourself and others as joined in the journey to our home in Heaven, where only Oneness is true and real. facimoutreach.org/qa/questions/questions190.htm#Q945
