Trust your
instincts.  Most excellent advice.  What is instinct, but an innate knowing.  Animals have this well developed.  You have shut it off.  When you don’t trust your instincts you feel
fear.  Listen well:  Fear can be a tool of instinct, guiding you
to run when there is danger, but it is an instantaneous thing.  When there is lingering fear, there may or
may not be danger.  Ego could be at
play.  How to know the difference?

Go into the silence …
into the stillness.  Seek Presence.  Now turn instinct back on and ask if you are
safe.  Ask if you can proceed.  Only from stillness can true discernment be
practiced.  Do not listen to others when
important decisions must be made.  Go into
the silence and trust your instincts.
