Discernment is basing your decisions on your perception. Ultimately, you must decide in your own hearts, and these alone. To inhabit the new awareness, you are required to be yourself, for when you are, you are a beautiful being, in touch with your eternal dimension.
Our Intuition
Now the second aspect of discernment requires that we learn to get in touch with our intuition and to hear the inner voice that speaks to us. This is perhaps the most difficult step for most of us to learn, because we live in a society that rewards analytical thinking and not intuition. Consequently, most people have shut down their feelings and adopted the attitude that intuition is connected to psychic phenomena and is less than desirable. This attitude has limited our growth. Operating without using all our capabilities is like playing cards with less than a full deck. If we do not honour all aspects of our personalities, we cannot become all that we are meant to be.
A World Teacher, the Master Kuthumi, says this about intuition and its connection to discernment :
Discernment requires that Initiates learn to go inward and FEEL the vibrational frequency of each thing that confronts them. It makes no difference whether the message received comes through words, actions, or emotions. The skill that separates a Master from a novice is the ability to feel the "sound" of the message. Once the vibrational level is felt, the Master knows whether or not to accept or reject the message in regard to whether or not the guidance that accompanies the message is helpful or not so helpful for one´s path. If the vibrational frequency is high, then following the message will bring greater things to the soul, if the vibrational frequency is low, the Master knows to bless the energy, let it go, and transmute it into a higher tone for the angelic choir to use in singing praises to the Creator.This was the way of the Atlantean Masters. This will be the way in the Seventh Golden Age.
Decision-making
Decision-making is the third aspect of discernment. This step is perhaps the most critical, for decisions we make, based on our perceptions and intuitions, determine our actions. Some of our decisions are made instinctively, as we respond to real or perceived threats or dangers. We may make other decisions in a similar way, without considering all choices, by simply "going with the crowd" or taking the easy way. In such cases, we give away our right to make decisions. In all cases, whatever decision we make, we are ultimately responsible for the consequences, for the laws are perfect and will bring to us that which we have owned.
One of the reasons that we do not make decisions that we wish to make is fear -- fear of being different, fear of loss of acceptance, fear of being alone. While we need to use caution and judgement, we also must understand that we reduce ourselves when we do not consider our own values and perceptions as we make decisions.
Trust and Responsibility
We should never judge ourselves harshly if the decisions we make are not the best -- nor should we judge others. Unconditional love and acceptance of our frailties are the goals we are striving to achieve. We need to accept what is and continue to move forward, making new decisions regarding the tests that face us. Adopting this process only enhances the pratice of refining our discernment.
One of the lessons we are learning today is that we need to listen to our inner thoughts. We are living in a time of inclusion and collaboration where we understand the importance of listening to, respecting, communicating, and working with others. We must take seriously the importance of trust and responsibility as a motivator of ourselves and others. We must realize that while each human being is unique, we are all children of God and have shared interests, responsibilities, and abilities to teach and learn from each other.
Creating Consequences
Decisions must be made with the understanding that all decisions create consequences. Every thought and action, even a thought or decision that is not acted upon, creates a reaction. When we make decisions, we need to make them with care and in contact with our Higher Selves.
Decision-making is not simply encountering a thought, situation, or idea and making a decision. Rather, it requires processing the information through our rational, intuitive, and spiritual filters in order to determine the course of action that is best for us.
