I was just showed that we never invent or “get” original ideas. Higher ideas are given to us because we are being suggested it (the very thing that you thought was your idea). You act on the impulse of ideas like this throughout your day not realizing that these very ideas/impulses are coming from your higher self, not the lower self. The lower mind is great at memorizing and can access only what it has memorized. It is a more basic intelligence and has no cunning or new thoughts. But humans in their lower thinking mind, take credit for their higher ideas while not acknowledging the very source the messages or ideas came from.
It is hard to distinguish communication unless you know what to look for. Is this an idea from the higher self or the lower self? The answer is it is all the same BEING. All our new ideas come from the higher self while our basic thoughts come from the lower self. This is how you can distinguish between the two and it is Important to know the difference. The lower self on its own does not recognize that it has access to higher thinking. Therefore humans struggle. This is also why we are our own hero’s. If you were to raise up into your higher self, you meld with both your lower and higher self perspectives.
In order to do this:
1st Acknowledge that you receive these kinds of messages already. Start demonstrating that you know this as truth. This will strengthen your connection and will cause/create examples showing you more and more intuition/ideas flowing to you.
2nd Act in accordance with the intuition/idea as this too creates more connection. Stay balanced/ stay connected to your inner child as this is the part of you that dares to dream and dares to imagine.
3rd Invite in more completely your higher/wiser self. All you are doing is making yourself more whole with your complete self. Learn to notice when you are in the lower mind. Pause to allow in your higher mind’s ideas or solutions to flow. This is how you can raise above (the maze of life) and use more of the whole capabilities of your whole self.
