Whatever time of day you may be reading this, a new day dawns somewhere on this planet. Somewhere, the sun\u2019s first rays flood across their part of the world. Somewhere, someone sees vibrant colors in the sky. Even if the day finds itself as cloudy, the sun\u2019s energy shines through, though bleakly. <\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"8196\" width=\"345\" data-init-width=\"345\" height=\"280\" data-init-height=\"280\" title=\"Dawning of Awareness\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/thedivinefellowship.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Dawning-of-Awareness.jpg\" data-width=\"345\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The sun sets on some of our adventures and we put them to bed. The sun then rises on new adventures. The key rests in knowing when to release and when to begin.<\/p>\n<p>And one other really cool thing . . . anytime can be our own dawn of awareness or awakening of insight. That key resides in asking. <\/p>\n<p>Asking\u2014tricky business that asking stuff. First, we recognize a need for guidance or expanded awareness. Without that recognition we meander through life oblivious and trapped by routine, duty or boredom. Recognition of a quest for insight opens our heart-of-hearts, our minds, our energy fields, and our perceptions. <\/p>\n<p>Then comes the question. Asking \u2018why\u2019 is the most worthless question ever asked. \u2018Why me, God?!\u2019 \u2018Why did that person do that?!\u2019 \u2018Why is this so hard?!\u2019 The answers are obvious. \u2018Why me? -Because you\u2019ve got this. \u2018Why did that person do that?\u2019 -Because they could. \u2018Why is this so hard?\u2019 -Because you are learning. We just don\u2019t like those answers. Often those situations that generate those sorts of questions end up being one of those \u2018Best- Worst Things\u2019. We cannot see the value because we are in the middle of it. The value reveals itself down the road. We still might not like it, but we see the value the difficulty brought us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Try to avoid questions with \u2018should.\u2019 \u2018Should I do this or that?\u2019 True insight allows for your own choice. Divine Source will not tell you what to do! That violates free will. You may be drawn to a next step, or feel a strong push. But to step or not step is your choice. Response to \u2018Should\u2019 questions often sounds like crickets while Spirit waits for you to ask a viable question. Not getting an answer from Divine Source? Ask again in a different way. <\/p>\n<p>So, what kind of question serves our quest? <\/p>\n<p>A \u2018what\u2019 question\u2014like the one at the beginning of this paragraph. Or, \u2018What do I do now?\u2019 or \u2018What action blesses me now?\u2019 \u2018What might be my best response to this?\u2019&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Or, try a \u2018how\u2019 question. No, not \u2018how long is this going to go on!\u2019 but rather \u2018How may I best shine through this situation?\u2019 or \u2018How shall I proceed from here?\u2019 or \u2018How may I best be of service here?\u2019 Another quest request might not be a question at all. It might look like, \u2018Show me my next step.\u2019 or, \u2018Show me how to let go.\u2019 (A \u2018how\u2019 question without the question.) <\/p>\n<p>The question for the quest then activates the energy and world around you. Energy, Divine Source, and the world responds by giving you signs and symbolic messages. You might find yourself asking for clarification. \u2018What does this mean for me?\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>When all else fails, shut up and listen. Listen to your heart-of-hearts. It already knows. Your expanded awareness likes the signs as symbols as confirmation of this knowing. We get a ring-true feeling. <\/p>\n<p>Once recognized, we feel the ring-true feeling as it abides within. We then move forward. The dawning of insight leads the way.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Example Questions <\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;\u2018What do I do now?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What action blesses me now?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What might be my best response to this?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018How may I best shine through this situation?\u2019 &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018How shall I proceed from here?\u2019 &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018How may I best be of service here?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Show me my next step.\u2019 (A \u2018how\u2019 question without the question.)<\/p>\n<p>Show me how to let go.\u2019 (A \u2018how\u2019 question without the question.)<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What does this mean for me?\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new day is dawning.
