As mentioned in my book, one of my daily practices as I Search for a Divinely Guided Life is the daily lesson from the COURSE IN MIRACLES. Today lesson (Lesson 189) has a great section on the process of seeking and receiving guidance. Here is an trans-denominational version I created...
Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what the Divine is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this world, forget these words, and come with wholly empty hands unto your Divine Source.
You need not know the way to the Divine. Your part is simply to allow all obstacles that you have interposed between us, the Divine Offspring, and our Divine Source to be quietly removed forever. The Divine will do Its part in joyful and immediate response. Ask and receive. But do not make demands, nor point the road to the Divine by which It should appear to you. The way to reach the Divine is merely to let It be. For in that way is your reality proclaimed as well.
