Angel Whispers is a weekly
inspirational message from your angels by Russell Forsyth.
Week of November 24:
Discernment
When I first started doing
these Angel Whispers, I had some resistance to the
commitment. With some angelic guidance reaching the
'nagging' level, I decided that one full year would be the
length of this focus on words and their meanings. I am well
past that first year, thanks to the unexpected rewards of
the undertaking.
The benefits have been
wide-ranging, from the interesting perspectives of my
readers, to my own spiritual uplifting. My commitment of
time and expense every week has paid big dividends in areas
that were well outside of my own discernment.
Discernment is a term used
in Christian tradition to describe the process of discerning
God's will for one's life. In large part, it describes the
interior search for an answer to the question of one's
vocation. Disturbances of the imagination and errors of
sensibility thwart the operations of the intellect and will
by deterring the one from the true and the other from the
good. The Creator willed that there should be communication
between angels and men, and as the angels are of two kinds,
good and bad, the latter try to win us over to their
rebellion and the former endeavor to make us their
companions in obedience.
Part of my weekly
discernment is in the search for the meaning that resonates
with me the most. The above definition came from the
Wikipedia, and I must admit that I never met an angel I
didn't like or that I would remotely consider bad (lol). I
will also admit that things do exist outside my realm of
experiences.
According to
Miriam-Webster, this word was born in 1586 with a meaning
that expresses the "quality of being able to grasp and
comprehend what is obscure." That's my cue to dive into the
pool of obscure communication for a whisper on discernment:
Discernment is
engaging in the energy of discovery and often leads to
illumination of the truth. It can also lead to the
creation of illusions. If you are finding resistance in
the body or heart area, it is time for some discernment.
Resistance is often a signal that there is something the
soul needs to balance energy. Failure to discern the
resistance is a delay response and can signal that you are
not willing or able to go there.
Your life path is always an area of discernment, unless
you are feeling love and divine flow present throughout
your day. The landscape is constantly changing and that is
the reason why some of you awaken to a discontent that was
not in the awareness the previous day. Meditation,
counseling and acts of reflection during these moments
will help you with discernment.
If you want to engage in discernment, the first action
would involve the opening of the heart, mind and soul.
This allows a deepening of spirit to enhance the moment of
perception that will bring truth into discernment.
Impulsive behaviors can limit the experience by
eliminating time for discernment. This bypass can be
beneficial for greater understanding, such as learning
patience and tuning in to the vibrations of guidance and
intuition.
If you want to learn, take a moment to discern.
Bring joy, ease suffering
and create beauty, then dance like you mean it!
Blessings, Russell
