Using Discernment

What does it mean to use 'discernment'? What is this 'discernment', and how do we use it?

To me, the concept makes no sense, and here is why: I have never met anybody in life who has been led up the garden path deliberately! I have never met anyone who has joined a cult believing its a load of bullshit and the worst thing they could do. I have never met anyone who has married someone at the time believing that it is the absolute worst decision they could make. I have never met anyone that moved into a house believing that it was the worst move in the world for them.

To put it simply, I have never met anyone who makes deliberately bad decisions. Even if someone was to try and make deliberately 'bad' decisions, they would still be doing it for a reason! EVERY behaviour has a positive intention, even though it may not seem to be the case.

So, when we advise someone to use 'discernment' what the hell does this mean? It means that that person should somehow access a set of resources outside of what they have available to them, in order to come to a decision as to what decision to make! This is crazy! You can go only go with what you have got available to you! In my opinion, telling someone to use discernment is basically telling someone to use their judgement. Well thanks for the advice! How do I NOT use my judgement to make a decision?!

And here is what is even more problematic about the concept of 'discernment' for us here on the site - it is a 3D concept! In order to use discernment/judgement, whatever you want to call it, you have to go into your mind. There has to be an analysis of some kind. In a 5D state of surrender, there is no judgement, no discernment, and no analysis. There is only universal flow. And in universal flow there are no decisions to make. The universal flow makes the decisions.

I realise I sound a touch irritable. Its because I am. I just strongly believe the concept of 'discernment' to be another pretencious 'spiritual' concept.

Hope you are feeling less tetchy than me!
