You touched on this already, but I’d like to underline the point that our fears often limit our ability to discern - fear of going against the tide, fear of seeing a truth that hurts, fear of change, etc.

So when I’m doing this work, I often repeat to myself, “I’m safe to see the truth. The truth will not break me. The truth will set me free.”

Thank you for this piece Xavier! It’s a topic that’s so foundational but often overlooked.

This was fire!! Disillusionment. I'm grateful to now have a term for it. Thank you for filling in the gaps and details of a discernment practice.

Thank you for being you and a demonstration of embodying light through your words

You always seem to be right on point with themes that I am digesting and assimilating - I so appreciate you and your bravery/commitment to continue to show up as well as taking the time to express and communicate all that you do. It's so needed and so nourishing! Much appreciation

Thank you for that beautiful piece of reflection. Keeping humility and a willingness to uncover whatever is in the way of one’s own Truth is a practice I keep at heart as often as possible. Awareness practices help in that way & whatever will help one’s ego to be lowered in order to hear Spirit instead is good as well … a good Hatha Yoga practice, not the “gym” kind … 🙏💜

You touched on this when you mentioned wonder, but I rely on remaining open to curiosity when discerning and to self discovery, and remembering if I make a mistake that I’m doing the best with the information that I have and am gathering

So power-filled, I have been digesting these words for days. Do I discern consciously? When do I do this? Have I ever done this? Finally, this morning, the door opened. My 50 years of dreamwork have aligned me to my highest truth!

This was a really wonderful read. It makes me think back to a friend last week who was making a decision about publicly aligning with her discernment. I recognized that I wasn't brave enough to do what she was considering doing, but I couldn't deny that she was empowered by speaking a truth even though it might polarize and alienate her. This was a lovely assist at processing how to be supportive when loved ones are removing the veil in their personal experiences.

Just wonderful ❣️ Thank you 🙏🏼 I think it takes courage and curiosity and a willingness to adapt to new insights. To dare to lose things and people you though you did not want to lose.

Perfect timing as usual. I'm working on discerning a situation now. I'm trying to decide if it is a shadow/trigger that is making me want to get out of a situation, or if I really would be better off getting out of it. I'm willing to stay and work on integrating that part of my shadow if that is for the best, but I'm just not sure at this point.
