If you can give me examples of when you listened and the consequences, versus when you didn't listen-- and what do you perceive this thought process is?

It isn't an actual voice it is a feeling. For instance last fall my mother in law was very sick. I was tired and didn't want to go see her...something told me I didn't have a choice. To myself I said FINE but I won't stay long.
Then I got there and knew she just had hours to live. I canceled the rest of my day. I knew I had to stay so that she didn't die alone.
BTW this was my X husband's mother.

I was with her for nine hours before she died, My daughter showed up for the last hour.
It was a spiritual experience to hold her hand while she passed on to the other side.
If I had not listened to that inner voice she would of died all alone.

I could write a book about my inner voice.
It is rare that I don't listen to my intutions.
And I regret it when I don't.

The perception of this intution to me is a spiritual gift. If is given to people who are open to brief encounters of the spiritual rehlm. There is sometimes a thin line between the earthly life and the spiritual life.

I don't question it. I embrace it.

There have been only about three or four times in my life when I have not listened, and the consequences were so bad I won't talk about them. The frustrating thing is that I almost always listen to my own "sense" of what to do, and just those few times I told myself to "listen to someone else once in a while" it was disastrous. I mean life/death disastrous.

The process is like this: Picture that your mind is a PC, and you install a program that will make the display have multi-colored stripes no matter what program you run on the PC. Your mind is like the PC - it stores all the information, experiences, thoughts, etc. you've ever had in a way that adds up to your having a "blend" of experience/knowledge as your base of thinking.

As those experiences/thoughts have passed through your processing (mind) they have created that "program" which will color in a certain blend all thoughts and experiences that follow.

In other words, you learn from experience and general picking up of knowledge; and when you do it then colors your future decisions/thoughts.

You're not aware that your "color program" is running on your C Drive, but as a new thought/question/decision comes into your mind to be processed it automatically changes its "colors", so that the simple and non-colored thought that went into your head is now a more complex, "colored", thought.

Your mind (my mind anyway) then pulls the "meat" of the thought/decision out from the complications of any "colors" and tries to deal with it as if it were the same as it was when it entered the mind.

Left in the background, though, are the colors in the shape of the thought; and as long as they're just "floating there" and not being addressed by your "main mind" they will create an unsettling feeling and "yell out" to be considered.

People's minds may try to separate out thoughts/decisions and deal with them separate from whatever already exists in the back of mind; but I don't think minds are at peace with that. Minds don't feel satisfied until the person has treated the whole thought and all its "aura", and if each thought/decision isn't treated that way then what happens is the "aura" calls out to be dealt with on its own - hence the "inner voice" and the fact that it tends to be right because it is based on past learning and experiences..

For me, it's not a voice. It's a clue. For instance, if it's lunch time and we're playing football, and my friend gives me some of his lunch (with something I'm allergic to in it), I would only take a bite. Then, I would go play football to find that my throat started hurting, and my friend could have given me a lot more of his food.

Listen to your heart, lub-dub, lub-dub, what does your inner voice say? Well mine actually has two eyes and a body too, and when it says something I ought to obey it, or else. What's its name?
Mom...


Seriously, my mom has told me don't do this, or do this before this, and I've concluded that if I don't take her word for real, something bad happens to me, or I screw everything up.

the only inner voice you should listen to, is the voice of God the Spirit. the rest are liars and deceiving spirits. Find your true identity in Jesus Christ and you will not be plagued by inner voices pretending to be your guarding spirits or spirit guides! they will ead you all the way to eternal damnation!
