Love the Internal Teacher

God has introduced into our minds an Internal Teacher, authorized to help us cross the bridge from fear to love when we find it difficult to do so by ourselves. The Internal Teacher is allied by different names, from the Comforter, to Jesus, to the Holy Spirit. Whatever name we use, it cannot be called on in vain. The Law Of Divine Compensation by Marianne Williamson, p.xiii

In Twelve Step groups the Internal Teacher is called “Higher Power” and in secular, humanist groups the “muse”.

I sometimes talk with my clients about their head and their heart. Sometimes there is a struggle because our head is full of “shoulds”, “ought too”, and “musts” and yet our heart is just not in it. When our heart is not into something usually we experience anxiety and may get the thought that we are on the wrong track. We say to ourselves, “There must be a better way!” It’s at these times we can call on the Holy Spirit for guidance, to give us a hint, to help us choose a more loving path to get on. We can always ask ourselves “What would Love have me do?”
