A lot of times, our guides are at the same level that we are at spiritually. We are their jobs, and they are growing through our life experiences. People have this illusion that their guides are all-knowing and all-wise, and why would we need God if we have our guides?

Men have never really been encouraged to listen to their intuition, or told that they have an intuition. It's been more of a female thing, at least according to our society, but that's not true at all.

We need to be able to set all of the voices aside, and then go to the still, small voice and say, "Show me the truth of this situation."

The real freedom comes to us when we can learn to go inside and connect with that voice. Then, we're not relying on outsiders.

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.

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.

If you're sitting around worrying about bills all day, it's hard to hear the guidance that's coming from the inside.
