Does Divine Guidance Create Dependency?

Dear ones, before we can accurately respond to your question we must first define dependency. When you are dependent on something you’ve become incapable of acting without it. Take for example substance dependency. Once you’ve become addicted to or dependent on a substance, you’ve altered your physical structure and your mental landscape to include this substance. This change causes you to believe you can no longer function without the support of the substance. However, any substance that moves someone away from independence is illusionary and not life-sustaining, therefore, you can be weaned from it without harm. Conversely, reliance on or guidance from the Divine is proactive, encourages independence and leads you toward a state in which you function at a higher level than you did prior to the interaction.

Divine guidance seeks to teach you how to move beyond your current state

Dependency does include an element of choice, but unhealthy dependency or reliance leads to a less-than-optimal or reduced state. Guidance, which is what you receive from the Divine and all energetic beings of love, also has an element of choice but it leads you toward an exalted state. Divine guidance seeks to teach you how to move beyond your current state. It pushes you to expand and explore for your greatest good but it will never intimate that the you that exists in this moment is not enough. When you interact with the Divine you are educated about your own value and encouraged to become even more.

Unhealthy dependency, no matter what form it takes, will always lead you into a place of diminishment

When you become dependent on a substance or some other product the ultimate goal of the interaction is to make you increasingly more dependent, more enslaved, and less capable of moving yourself in the direction of your highest good. Unhealthy dependency, no matter what form it takes, will always lead you into a place of diminishment. You will be encouraged to give up your independence, to rely less on your own intelligence, and knowing and submit to the will of the thing creating the dependency. When you align with the Divine you are encouraged to become a partner, not a subject. You maintain your free will and your ability to make any choice or take any action. If your choices move you further from the Divine truth, you will not be stopped, forced to obey, or punished for your disobedience. You will simply experience the consequences of your choice.

Divine guidance recognizes all that you already are and helps you to become even more

Dependency usually occurs because you feel inadequate as you are and you’re looking for an external factor to help you overcome your inadequacy. Divine guidance recognizes all that you already are and helps you to become even more. If you desire to receive guidance, you must be willing to be directed, to establish a relationship, be ready to improve your life and be willing to see yourself as you truly are. If you insist that are nothing and no one, you will find it difficult to connect with the Divine. A partnership with them requires your conscious and willing participation. This means that you may choose to go in a different direction at any time because you are making a conscious choice to align.

Partnering with the Divine means that you can accurately determine the consequences of your thoughts, feelings, and actions before they become a physical reality

The benefit of being in alignment with the Divine, who represents your greatest good, is not a debilitating dependency but an ever-expanding union with more. Partnering with the Divine means that you can accurately determine the consequences of your thoughts, feelings, and actions before they become a physical reality. It means that you have a force for good that’s guiding you toward opportunity and fulfillment and away from domination from lower energetic products like doubt, fear, uncertainty, and negativity.

Dependency wraps you in a chokehold of fear, it dictates to you what you can and cannot do and when you can do it

Guidance supports, suggests, educates, and uplifts. Dependency decreases your ability to function at any level. Guidance encourages your conscious free will participation. Dependency wraps you in a chokehold of fear, it dictates to you what you can and cannot do and when you can do it. Dependency doesn’t foster independence or encourage you to expand. Dependency, demands that you think of yourself as weak, less than, and not enough.

You’ll not be threatened, and you will not feel as though you’ve been coerced or as if you’ve had to lose a piece of yourself in order to comply

As we move deeper into the awakened state and begin cooperating to achieve the greater good, you’ll desire to be guided by the Source of all good. You’ll not be dependent on that Source. You’ll not be threatened, and you will not feel as though you’ve been coerced or as if you’ve had to lose a piece of yourself in order to comply. You will, however, feel loved, safe, seen as valuable, and desirous of becoming even more.

Honor yourself and choose to establish a relationship with the Divine

If you’re ready to stop being dependent on outside forces and you want to live your most inspired, most productive, and powerful life then honor yourself and choose to establish a relationship with the Divine. Open your heart and begin receiving guidance.
