I want to share something with you that I’ve noticed…

Once people begin reconnecting with their own inner knowing, they start to ask more questions. And there’s one question in particular that is really important…It’s this:

How do I know what is true?

This question tends to appear after people have already explored many different ideas, teachings and philosophies. They may have read books, followed teachers, attended workshops, listened to podcasts and watched endless videos of people explaining how the world works and how we are supposed to evolve within it.

From personal experience I can say that at first, this exploration feels exciting because it opens us up to new perspectives and different ways of understanding life – and we certainly don’t get THESE types of conversations in our day to day life so its kind of really fascinating and somewhat addictive to be honest…

But after a while something else begins to happen.

People begin to notice that not everything they hear actually feels true…

Naturally different teachers say completely different things. One philosophy contradicts another. Some ideas feel inspiring in the moment but later begin to fall flat and they feel empty and honestly, as someone who has been around this type of information for almost 30 years now, I will say that in the last five or six years the number of fake people regurgitating misinformation is off the charts.  That initially makes it even more difficult to discern what really is true and what is not.

Eventually I think people get to the point of asking: not “Who should I listen to?  But “What actually feels true to me?”

Honestly, I love it when people reach this point because I know they are on the edge of a potential breakthrough in their understanding, and I find that really exciting.

This shift in their questioning might seem small, but it’s a really important step in learning to recognise personal resonance.

Truth carries a particular vibration and when you encounter it, something inside you tends to recognise it immediately – and that is the feeling that you have to train yourself to listen to.

In the beginning many people doubt that feeling. Sometimes it doesn’t even make sense as to why you feel different about that belief or information when everyone else seems to love it.  So you might try to override the feeling and you presume that you must be wrong.

You assume you must just need to study more, or get guidance from someone who appears to know more than you do – and that can be valid – but… over time, if you are willing to listen to your inner voice carefully enough, you will begin to notice that your inner guidance system is actually quite reliable.

You will discover that it responds differently to truth than it does to distortion… and the more you become familiar with that inner response, the easier discernment becomes.  Not because the outside world suddenly became less confusing, but because your internal knowing became stronger… and that’s the goal of our personal development really. Fascinating, don’t you think?

Eventually people realise that discernment is not something that can be taught in the traditional sense.

It develops through experience and exploration.

And in my case, (more than) occasionally, through following something that later turned out not to be in alignment for me at all – though I always learned something valuable through that experience nonetheless.

Yes, believe it or not, sometimes that is the best way to learn what you need to learn but it requires the willingness to come back to yourself repeatedly and ask a very simple question.

Does this feel true for me?

I’ve learned that the more you learn to trust your inner knowing, the less dependent you become on an external authority.

You don’t need someone else to tell you what to believe or how to interpret the world because you simply begin recognising truth for yourself.

And once that happens then, you can begin to see through the social conditioning and limiting beliefs you have carried about yourself and what you are truly capable of.

And that is where real sovereignty begins.
