Discernment in 2025 and beyond...

I recently did a talk on navigating some life's complexities through Discernment with intuition, integrity and intelligence in 2025 and beyond. I am wanting to share it here, because what I will go over is important. Everything I have suggested here can be done for free, you do not have to join any cult or organisation promising you the world and any star magic to do what is already in you.

First some background; for some months I have been developing a project/workshop named ‘Third I Tips’; For Readers and Receivers of the Oracle. It is a set of 6 x guiding principles; that act as a rudder and sails in the delivery of readings and reading etiquette, if you like, it also gives people receiving a reading a 360 degree perspective.

This was born out of having had over 30 years of receiving readings and as a reader myself for the last 10 years, although I have had my gifts all of my life.

This particular work is mainly aimed at people who are doing or want to do readings and for anyone with an interest of the oracle; However, they are transferable principles and applicable to the topic here of 'discernment'.

I have extracted this content from my Third I Tips on Discernment : Intention, Intuition, Integrity and Intelligence. I will cover these last, as they are a tool; but you are the vehicle...

 I hope you enjoy it and take from it what you will.

·     Let's begin...

Humanity as a species is changing in a profound way, and in every way, including our environment, which is affecting the necessities of Life, being the elements of earth, air, water, our animals and food.

It’s all changing, and so must we.

The last 4 years has really highlighted that;

It has become increasingly hard to distinguish truth from non- truth, regarding the duality of consciousness and information, in particular regarding the following events :

1.   The War on information and censorship

2.   What is ‘good’ for us and what is not.

3.   Spiritual war 

4.   Gender wars 

5.   The Middle East and Eastern European wars

6.   Transhumanism,

7.   Biowarfare

8.   Medical intervention

9.   Artificial Intelligence & Technology

10. The Erosion of Human rights ,sovereignty and society.

At the same time, there’s a massive spiritual awakening happening on the planet...

A Collison of light and shadow acting out everywhere.

I think it is fair to say’ .. ‘Humanity is in an uncomfortable in-between place ‘of what is passing and what is yet to be.

There is so much information coming at us at a rapid speed ,that it can be overwhelming and hard to keep up with the world and our place in it.

So, as things speed up and progress into 2025 and beyond, and it will.

The information playing out at this time on the planet, is challenging and affecting our personal frequencies, relationships and interactions with others.

I think the need for discernment in what we do with this information, will also become more and more important for moving forward personally and collectively.

What is discernment ?

Discernment is the ability to perceive, understand, and judge things clearly, especially those that are not obvious or straightforward.

Sometimes it’s about trusting your instincts despite what you are being told or shown.

For me - Discernment is not only a process, but it is also a lifestyle…. A Life is made up of daily habits and decisions; Actions, Reactions and Interactions. This is what drives our energy, so our lifestyle deserves our attention and discernment, more than ever.

DISCERNMENT STARTS WITHIN US.

Living Intentionally, and making a daily conscious decision of creating and maintaining healthy boundaries and the filtering of information, regarding what you allow into your energy and space - through your personal discernment, will have a direct effect on your capacity to tune into your higher self and messages.

So learning how to cleanse and clear and charge your energy daily, in order to gain clarity is vital, and so is maintaining it.

Your energy is a commodity, so is your attention.

How do we sharpen our discernment skills for moving forward in 2025?

     Spiritual Hygiene as a Daily Practise.

Intention requires attention, so having clear intentions on what you do on a daily practise; will either allow more light to come into your body, or block it.

The more you regularly practise maintaining balance, the more resilient you become. Your body is a powerful tool in reading energy, it’s also a reliable feedback system of information, on what you are feeling, thinking and processing through your body. This will become more and more important in discerning information going forward.

To help me to clear, charge and maintain my energy; I have a ‘balance toolkit’ that I use every day and in a variety of ways including; breathwork/exercise/healthy food/intermittent fasting/mentors/ having a healthy relationship with myself , music and meditation .

Your toolkit will be unique to you, with whatever works for you. But I think it is imperative to have one.

Other important factors in Spiritual Hygiene are;

·      Avoiding the chemicals in your food, the fluoride in your water, fluoride is a neuro toxin and calcifies your pineal gland (3rd eye) and avoiding any environmental pollutants, as much as you can.

·      If I am consuming chemicals/processed food/excessive alcohol/drinking out of plastic bottles; then that is going to have an impact on my senses and body at a cellular level.

·      Am I prepared to put the work and discipline in learning how to live more sustainably; like growing my own food source, being mindful on what my money is supporting.

·      Discerning where I spend my money, is it with the big corporates or the small local organic company.

·       Navigating through my commitments to include a regular spiritual hygiene practise?.

Your body is the most important tool in discerning what deserves your attention and does not.

Becoming still, and listening to what your body and senses are telling you, will give you a baseline point of reference; of knowing what is yours and what is not.

For example: If I am stretching every day and am feeling free and flexible in my body, that’s a baseline for me, so when I suddenly feel tightness or pain in areas that I don’t normally, for me that’s an external energy my body is picking up on.

Consider having positive affirmations as part of your  balance toolkit, and learning how to reframe situations that are challenging, and that doesn’t mean we deceive ourselves about what’s happening, but, instead  we take the positive approach and the lesson out of it, and use it as a learning tool, and a springboard.

 All of these things with a regular practise; will also help regulate your nervous system, reducing stress and ill health, and helping you come back to centre.

Truth has a frequency.

You feel it, you sense it, even if it doesn’t make sense…. To your logical mind.

Your frequency is a direct correlation to your sense of self- self worth ,authenticity and clarity of mind .

Being authentic and loyal to what really matters to you , as a spiritual individual and as part of the collective, and not going along with a false narrative to please others or avoid conflict, this will radiate in your frequency as truth.

what’s happening inside will radiate outside of you.

Realising and processing that; as people shift and change with the new energy and awakening consciousness; that we aren’t all on the same page; this is a timeline split. Frequencies that are not compatible can no longer share the same space for very long.

Knowing who you are - and having Sovereignty over your mind, body and soul. Trusting yourself, backing yourself, and trusting the Universe has your back, this will all help you to stay authentic and grounded in the present. Being  disciplined in maintaining a daily practise will give you confidence and durability  to handle what comes your way, and that takes courage.

·      Discernment Mappin

This is mapping where your attention is going daily;

How much time is spent being present and doing something mindful, and beneficial compared to being on automatic pilot through habit? (Scrolling social media etc)

Time is a currency, and it’s speeding up.

I see people will be required to make decisions more rapidly in the future so we all need to use our time wisely.

All of these things will require discernment on some level, and we are faced with choices of discernment all day everyday. I want to point out that people including myself, that are using a daily practise are still challenged in this environment, so imagine what it is like now and will become, for people who do not use any type of healthy clearing practises.?? or for people who are just waking up to the reality of the Worlds current state....people are going to need love, compassion and support.

Spiritual Renaissance

The world is going through a spiritual renaissance, and this too, needs discernment, just like any other industry.

Especially now, with so much on offer and it is so easy to access and pay for a method, qualification, or membership without having the appropriate inner substance or appropriate energy vibration. I have encountered Celestial Vampires. Yes they are a real thing, only today they use remote viewing and computer hacking, but they still use Glamour to blind those looking for Spiritual Guidance, some of these people are Globally well known, and will promise you the Stars...but that is another blog.

I always ask my guides to point me in the right direction and to always oversee any work I do or receive.

I think shadow work is ongoing throughout life , however,  I do look for a certain things, like : life experience, what they offer in terms of support during the processing and integration of your journey.

Discernment in the information you are getting as a receiver is important.

As a practitioner; knowing what your limitations are is key. Being able to go into the shadow and hold space and the light, is a learned skill.

This is a big topic that go into much more detail in my Third I tips material.

Intuition and Intention

Your intuition will be somewhat unique to how you perceive it; messages or thoughts that confirm or warn you. You may experience multiple avenues like I do, or more of one than the others.

·      You may feel sensations in your body, a classic is the tightening of the solar plexus or any other physical signs you may get; audio, visual etc.

·      It may be an instant thought that something is not right. 

·      What is the intention behind what I am seeing, hearing or witnessing?

what does it FEEL LIKE? does it resonate as truth in your body or does your stomach scrunch up?

 ·      Sometimes the intention of information is about distraction, so for me, if it is random, or out of place just enough for me to think or feel; ‘that’s odd’ then that can be the beginning of my discernment and questioning.

knowing what is yours and what is not, requires a regular practise of stillness.

Indian Yogi Wisdom: ‘In sitting still we overtake those that are running’.

Integrity

I think it the definition of structural integrity is the overarching umbrella of all the parts of information; Structural integrity refers to the ability of a structure to maintain its strength and stability under various conditions.

looking at all of the elements involved; to use the analogy of a rope, and all of its separate strands coming together as one, observing the relationship they all have with each other, is there a core weakness in one of the elements? does it hold up? is there synergy and strength, what is the collective information telling you?

Sometimes those threads can lead to rabbit holes. There will be a point to start filtering what is coming in, and where to stop researching. This endless pursuit can be by design, to distract or confuse you.

Self-reflective questions to contemplate:

·      Do I need to know this?

·      Do I need to do anything with this?

·      Is this relevant to me personally and or to the collective/society, ( it may not affect you.. yet !)

·      How is this information making me feel or think ?

·      What is/was the end goal or action required or being asked of me?

·      Which method of communication was used and have you seen it before, are you seeing something on repeat , is it a script?

·      Intention, does it have a why?

It is important to do your own research, especially if it doesn’t feel right to you.

Personally, if someone is telling me NOT to do something, is just as much in need of discernment as being told to do something.

Be aware of being influenced into complacency when you should probably be taking action. Just because something it makes you or others feel uncomfortable does not mean you should look away we all need to consider the repercussions of not taking any action.

Intelligence

Information needs to be processed and integrated in a positive and intelligent manner.

You can be aware and not in fear. You cannot prepare for what you do not acknowledge or understand.

 Intelligence has been defined in many ways: the capacity for abstraction, logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. It can be described as the ability to perceive or infer information; and to retain it as knowledge to be applied to adaptive behaviours within an environment or context.

We need to use our emotional intelligence, our spiritual intelligence and our critical thinking to discern the truth of what we are witnessing.

·      What are all of my senses collectively informing me of ; mental, emotional and spiritual intelligence.

·      Perspective creates reality, have you checked your blinkers and bias? (self-awareness)

·      Remain open to what you are receiving.

·      Observation, manner, words and body language , what is it collectively telling you.

·      Asking the right questions will get you the right answers.

What you do with that information is completely up to you. That's YOUR discernment.

I saw a food truck the other day and it had written on the side;

Knowledge is knowing a Tomato is a fruit, Intelligence is not putting it in a fruit salad.

 I encourage you to reflect on your own practices of stillness and awareness to enhance your discernment skills. If you would like more information on my Third i Tips and Talks or would like to have a one on one reading or discuss options and techniques for you, get in touch.
