Boy, there's a fat question.. without a simple answer. Learning
discernment.. important, and it is a process, you get to know when
something resonates, and when it does not, after a while. Whether it is
resonating with true self, or bringing up old fears.
I usually teach folks to communicate with the higher self via the heart
chakra.. if they are well enough grounded that they have tingly feet, and
maintain the ego-focus on their breathing, their tingly feet and the light
moving thru... so ego is too busy to be inventive ;) usually they can get
clear answers.
If they are ungrounded, the ego will masquerade as the higher self and
start spewing fear, judgments and limitations.
That is the best way to tell: by the content of the message.
If the voice judges you, or someone else, then it's ego. If it voices
fears and worries, and reasons why not, then it is ego.
Sometimes what speaks thru the heart is not the higher self, but an
opportunistic occupying entity. Most often it is just a stuck ghost, that
was accepted as an occupant when the host was a child. Sometimes there are
other things.. well-meaning departed parents, grandparents, thought forms
that have taken on sentience.. et all.. they clear off well enough once
they have been spotted, given love and asked to, nicely.. and they can be
spotted by how they answer the questions on the grounding site.
The heart voice is limitless, unconditional love and wisdom that sees you
as always perfect, in the here and now. It will glady tell you so, no
matter how many times you ask it. Often with accompanying tingly goosebumps
and heart-warmth feelings. Usually, the voice is of indeterminate gender.
It knows everything, tho it may not choose to give you information that
would take you out of the moment. Spirit likes surprise parties.
Entities will come out with stuff like, "You will be perfect when you
have suffered enough", or "you are a nice guy, most of the time"..
If the love and the perfection you are is expressed with any limits or
conditions, then it's not the soul speaking. If the guidance seeks to drive
you with fear, instead of leading you with love, then it's not Spirit.
If it has a sense of humor, then it probably is spirit.. laughter is
its nature.
Keep measuring the information you get, against these basic
principles, and noticing how your body reacts to different pieces of
information. You will get the hang of it before long. You will be able to
feel the difference in the sources, in your heart and your gut. Happy
discerning!
