I am an old woman now. And here is something I know in my heart to be true. When we are true to ourselves and being who we truly are, there are many sources of confirmation from outside sources, including events in the physical world, interactions with people who are meant to confirm our truth for us, our path is bright and we are able to walk it easily, spirit guides and teachers come to us and we are able to receive their wisdom fully and easily. When we are fooling ourselves we get none of this.
I work with many people counseling them and this is a fact. It is those people who are deluding themselves who will tell you they cannot find their guides; that no one is teaching them, that they cannot connect to Source.
