One of the voices that we struggle with inside is the voice of religion. Religion teaches us some very strict things about God and our relationship with God. Some religions teach us that we aren't worthy of having a personal relationship with God.

Some people pray to their guides and feel let down by their guides when they go through a challenge in life.

There're a lot of old religious beliefs that keep us stuck. Because we're afraid of the answers, a lot of us just don't ask the questions of God.

If we are guided to give up our possessions, it will be a positive thing for us.

A lot of people are not comfortable being apart from the group, from the whole herd, and listening to the inner voice. They just follow what the crowd does and wear what the crowd wears and think what the crowd thinks. They get very caught up in doing what the world says is the cool thing to do and living the way the rest of the world lives. Once we make a decision to break away from that and not be part of the herd anymore - by going inside and finding our own voice - then life just becomes magical.

If I am intuitively led to buy and read a book, what that means is that there is something there that will help me grow spiritually.

It's not harder to hear the inner voice when you're in a relationship, but it's more of a challenge to follow it.
