What we have to realize is that when the inner voice gives us guidance, it's always going to be for our highest good - and it's always going to bring us more joy than we think.
Echo BodineSometimes people run out and read a lot of books, but they don't absorb anything from them. They want to read the next popular book.
Echo BodineWe have a lot of controlling people who are trying to tell us how to live our lives, and a lot of co-dependent people around us. We bump up against these people, too, when we're trying to get on the spiritual path.
Echo BodineI cannot tell you how many times guides have said to me, "Please tell them to stop praying to me. I can't make things happen. I can't protect them from going through challenging experiences. These are experiences their soul has chosen to go through. I'm here to keep them on their path, but I don't want them to give me all this attention or power or focus." Realistically, the guides I work with are really encouraging people to find their inner voice.
