What hinders or helps us in hearing divine guidance isn’t distance from God or God’s absence.
It’s willingness – or the lack of it.
That’s the truth so many of us miss. We spend years waiting for a thunderbolt, a burning bush, a voice that’s impossible to ignore. What we’re actually waiting for is permission to stop choosing differently.
The Higher Holy Spirit Self seeks to restore our ability to choose Love, always. Not sometimes. Not when it’s convenient. Always. The voice is there, streaming 24/7. Our willingness is simply the choice to tune in.
I spent my mid-twenties convinced that overcoming my negativity, and becoming a truly loving person would take 100 lifetimes. Within a few years, I’d shifted more mentally and emotionally than I thought possible in a whole lifetime. The difference wasn’t God’s effort. It was my willingness.
Here’s what that actually means for us: we’re not interested in choosing the low vibration anymore. we’re genuinely interested in hearing what the Holy Spirit has to say, even if it points us somewhere unexpected. Even if it asks us to do something the ego absolutely doesn’t want to do.
That’s the catch most people hit. The intuition, the insight, the divine direction will often point us exactly where the ego-identified person does not want to go. We’d drag a truckload behind us running in the other direction, exhausting ourselves, pulling that wagon the whole way.
But here’s the gift: once we get the hang of following guidance, we realize the one thing we really don’t want to do anymore is ignore it.
The high-vibrational choices are so fulfilling, so energizing, so expansive that we simply choose more and more and more of them. They feel right. They feel like coming home.
Our willingness is in our choice to reach for the highest and best choices we can find and accept. Our willingness to keep showing up for that choice, over and over, no matter how small the decision feels.
Start there. Ask in every situation you can think of: “What’s the highest and best way here?”
Our willingness is all that’s required.
The Higher Holy Spirit self will do the heavy lifting.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Trusting the One That Knows. In this episode of A Course in Miracles: Walking the Talk, Living the Love, I explore what I’ve learned about trust—not the kind where you white-knuckle your way through life hoping things turn out, but the kind where you actually let go and listen. I share a moment from Hawaii when I had to choose without understanding first, and a chipmunk encounter that revealed something I couldn’t have learned any other way. Most of us spend our lives convinced we need to figure things out first, then act. But I discovered something different. Through forgiveness practices and honest conversations about resistance, I’m uncovering why the ego’s need to know is so costly—and what becomes available when you stop insisting on proof. This episode reveals what a genuine trust in the Holy Spirit actually looks like in real life.
