I'll probably do some research right after this, but for now - I would like to share on what I have come to learn the term "Highest good" is to me.
To be honest I'm not quite sure where I heard this first, but it has come to be a personal guide for me, as well as what I have come to call "high vibrational feelings". These are a couple of the foundational concepts or I guess new beliefs I have adopted for myself that I feel "serve" me & well; all those around me.
North Star type vibes.
To me, acting in my highest good - Is to honour my higher self - The highest version of myself. My Divine Being, my innate wholeness, my innate potential, my innate wisdom, my innate connection. All these beautiful aspects of myself. To recognise my higher self & act in alignment with that. To use it as my guide, in service of my continual evolution.
High Vibrational Choices VS Low Vibrational Choices
After coming to the realisation that as a human being living this life - I was really far greater than I had been lead to believe. I decided I needed to make choices that honoured this knowledge.
As I became more in tune with my own energy, my innate wisdom & connection. I came to learn about choices that served me & those that did not. Ones that were in alignment with that - & those that were not.
Ones that served me & aligned with my highest good - well I called those "high vibrational choices" - Made sense I thought.
This is also around the time when I came across the phrase "Think & act greater than you feel" Which was calling me to align my thoughts/actions with the best version or me - my highest good/self, when perhaps I wasn't quite feeling it.
I began to view the world around me or perhaps within me - in relation to energy & vibration.
What was high vibrational & in alignment with my highest good & well, what was not.
This new way of viewing the world gave me a great frame work to work within in making choices for myself.
Does this choice align with my highest good? In recognition of my innate potential, worth, connection, wisdom? Perhaps one, two or all at any one time.
If not - well time to bring a little curiosity to the situation - There's learning to do.
This new filter of choices served my highest good. It served my healing, learning, growing journey.
It also served me bringing awareness to when I put myself in situations or acted in a manner that did not align with my highest good.
WHICH ALSO served my healing, learning, growing journey - as long as I stayed open to learning that is.
It uncovered ways of being that made me feel good - But didn't "serve" my highest good. The ones that actually served my lower self. The habitual, unconscious, reactive part of myself. This was a journey in & of itself my friend - Very insightful!
I found this a simple guide for myself - That served me.
Does this align with who I want to be or not......?
It's a pretty simple question really - Does this align with my highest good?
There is always a choice. Sometimes its a choice within a choice, but still a choice x
Full Moon Blessings my friend,
