Re: How do you know the appropriateness of the decisions you're making?
"Yet, a lot of time, we may be making decisions based on a lot of other criteria (apart from feeling good) – such as it has to fit in with what we have always been taught, or it has to fit in with what society has deemed as good, or it has to fit in with the approval we might get from our peer group, or it has to fit in with the approval we're getting from our parents or friends or some group we hang with, or we consider what someone else would think about our decisions and take that into consideration."
These decisions are then coming from you Ego and not from Source/your Inner Being. You have to be true to You to make the right decisions.
How do we know for sure if a thought and feeling is based on our Ego or Source?
It can feel great to have a very expensive car for example. But the question is, is this coming from your Ego because it boosts the Ego to have something exclusive that not everyone has or can afford to make you feel superior to others which may be equated with feeling good?
Or does it come from Source because you just happen to really like this car and it has nothing to do with the fact that it is expensive?
