Why would you do that? Why do I do that? When I let myself wonder about a lot of things it helps get clear what my next move will be. There are so many choices to be made everyday.
I have learned that some questions are too vague to answer: avoid the how-questions. Like for instance: How am I going to get there? How do I do that? How do I achieve my dream goals? How do I get through this? Those kind of questions aren’t clear and cannot easily be answered. Why? Because it all depends on all of the (free will) choices you make. Your guide (higher self/ god/ the universe/ angel) can’t tell you what to do, you have to decide the how. But to do that you first have to know some of the options you can take, right?
Sometimes it’s helpful to think backwards: if I want to achieve this dream, what would it look like when I am living it? What would I be doing, saying, seeing or hearing? Is there someone with me? How would I feel if I were there? Make it as real as possible. Then try to dissect that vision into the steps you might need to take to get there. With every step you take ask yourself if this will help you towards your goal.
Or if that doesn’t work for you, you can close your eyes, try to see some crossroads, a fork in the road. Imagine taking one way, this is the one where you do what is known to you and feels safe, feel where this would lead you. Then come back and do the same with the other way, only now imagine the best possible outcome of where you want to go, but it might seem scary because you don’t clearly see what you might encounter on the way there. Maybe there is also a third way, that you didn’t see before, which has all kinds of safe havens along the way. There you can decide at any point in time what you want to do.
Try not to attach to the outcome of your question. If you are emotionally charged then the answer you get will be compromised or unreliable. Try asking what the answer is in benefit of your highest good. Or if you are asking for someone else: in benefit of their highest good. Don’t forget about free will, if the other soul doesn’t want to reach the goal you are asking about, consciously or unconsciously, it will not happen. There will be a kink in the road or a detour, which will lead you back to where you’ve started. So if you keep returning to a certain point, ask yourself if your end goal is accurate or not.
Examples in real life. Taking-inspired-action. For instance: When I go outside, most of the times I know multiple routes to get from A to B. Usually the choice is influenced by the time of day and which way I’m going. It might be strange but most of the times I take a different route to where I am going than the one I take on my way back. Out of habit or because it feels faster or more flowing. When I think about it, while I am underway, I sometimes take a different route. In just a flash of a second the choice is made to alter the route. What’s the point? Well this has kept me from encountering some road blocks and being delayed by them. So if you get a flash of a different route, not necessarily only while traveling, try it out and see where it leads you. You will probably get pleasantly surprised.
Do you really need it? On-time-magic. When you’re running late and need to get somewhere on time you can affirm to yourself: I am not worried because I know I will be just on time and I will get there safely. But remember: there’s a limit to this magic or change in timeline, otherwise a rift will appear. And sometimes you need to be late for you to make different choices the next time. So only if you really need it you will get it.
Dilemma? Use your body as a pendulum. Possible answers are limited: yes, no, maybe, ask differently. First, stand up, ask your body how it wants to express these answers. For me yes, my body leans forwards a bit. No, leans backwards. Maybe: rotating clockwise. Ask differently: rocking back and forth. Once you have established how your body talks to you, then you can start getting your answers.
Please ask the important question first: Can you help me with this? When the answer is no, try again later or think of a different situation, that you need to ask about. And don’t forget to say thanks for the answers that you do get!
