So subtle.  That is how the little snags from spirit—higher consciousness—can be.  You might call them nudges.  They come from within as the still, small voice, always benign, always loving, and they come to guide you.  It is nigh unto impossible to hear them when ego is chattering away, blaring the thoughts of humanness in your head.  Get away from the head.  Balance head stuff with heart knowing.  There, from the heart awareness, is where you will notice the snags and nudges.  “Do this now.”  “You may not want to take that particular step now.” And so forth.  When you recognize that there are two distinct ways of operating in your life — on autopilot from the ego and guided moment by moment from Spirit, you will tune in more closely and find that life can truly flow.
