Are you making choices from your soul mind or your ego mind?

​When we connect with our soul and start to get “directives” or guidance from our soul it can be very difficult to live and make choices from our soul.  This is because the soul is the opposite to the ego/mind.  The directives from soul go against everything we have grown up to believe in terms of how we should live our lives.  This makes it very confusing to know when to follow our soul guidance as we can constantly feel like we are doing the “wrong thing” by following our soul.

To evolve into the 5th dimension we must embody our soul.  This means we can’t just connect with our soul and feel all lovely and peaceful and then go about our lives making the same 3rd dimensional fear based choices.  It has to change from the inside out by connecting with soul, listening to the guidance and then taking action.  By taking action from soul the soul then becomes a part of the human experience, not just some distant connection and this is how we embody (or become) our soul in our physical existence.  Therefore, it gets easier the more your actions are aligned with soul, as you start to embody your soul more and more.  Then the soul mind easily overrides the natural fear based instincts as your soul is closer to your everyday life.

Taking the first steps in listening to the soul mind can be the most difficult and confusing stage because a soul directive usually goes against every 3rd dimensional instinct that you have grown used to.  A few ways to know if you are making a choice based on soul:

• Is this choice rational, practical, logical?  No – then it is probably coming from soul.  Yes – it is probably coming from your 3rd dimensional human mind.
• Is this choice made from a space of fear or lack?  Are you making this choice because you are worried about money or not having enough safety and security in your life to help you feel safe? Yes – then this is probably an ego/mind 3rd dimensional choice.
• Are you making this choice because it is what your friends and family expect you to make and if you make your soul based choice are you worried that they will think you are crazy and maybe even stop loving you?  If yes, then this is a 3rd dimensional ego/mind choice.
• Does the prospect of carrying out this choice make you feel nervous and excited, maybe even pushing you out of your comfort zone?  Yes, then it is probably from the soul.
• Does this choice have any evidence from past experience to convince you it will work out?  No, then it is a soul based decision.  Only ego/mind 3rd dimensional decisions are based on the rationale of past experiences influencing future outcomes.  With soul based choices there is no benchmark because this is a completely different way of doing things.
• Are you trying to prove something to others or to yourself?  Yes, then maybe this is a 3rd dimensional choice you are considering.  The ego loves to justify its choices, the soul just goes ahead and does it.
• Are you making this choice from a pure space of love within yourself?  Does it feel expansive in your chest when you imagine your body in the space you are imagining?  Do you feel alive and invigorated?  Yes, then this is a soul choice.
• Are you worried about making the right or wrong choice?  Yes – then go deeper, your ego mind is trying to over-ride the soul choice by bringing right and wrong into the equation.  A soul choice has no right or wrong outcome, only another experience to collect

When you have had some practice making soul based choices, you will also notice that you are guided through the action steps via your heart space and not your head.  This feels very different in your body.  When your heart guides you there are no thoughts, no list to check off, no planning or organizing or scheduling.  Instead an idea pops into your head and you action it straight away in perfect timing in the flow of your life.  Things just work out in the flow.

The will of the universe, your life flow and your soul are all linked.  If you are making decisions based on your fear based logical thinking mind, then you are not connected to any of these.  You are operating amongst the 3rd dimensional world and therefore responding to what is going on around you – not what is going on within you according to your soul, flow and the will of the universe.  So it will often feel like you have no power behind your choices, that they are hard work, even a struggle sometimes to get things done.  But soul based choices come from within with the entire power of the universe behind them, so a path will be cleared so that you can take action according to the flow (timing), guided by your soul urges.

This way of living from soul is almost completely opposite to the way we are used to living from our minds in a 3rd dimensional world, so it is no wonder it can take some getting used to, not to mention lots of courage and faith (in yourself) to follow through with your deepest soul urges.

So if you are sick of the struggle and never feel like you have found the fulfillment you have been searching for, it might be time to go within and spend some quality time getting to know your soul so you can listen to your soul guidance and take action from this space.

The more action is taken from the space of soul in this world, the faster the world will change and we will all be able to live by the new “rules” of the 5th dimension anchoring this reality into the existence of all.
