One thing I can share GW, is what I think when I decide I don't wish to follow the suggestion of my guides:
1) I remind myself there really is no right and wrong, and free will is paramount. I do what I want.
2) I remind myself there is always the chance my guidance was hijacked for this particular instance and I didn't realize it.
3) Love is unconditional. I can do the thing that my guidance suggests is not smart, and my guidance, the universe and I will still love myself. I am the Creator, I can't do wrong. I trust my own self enough to know that I intend well and I can learn from missteps.
4) Blindly following someone else's advice is to follow in the footsteps of a STS power pyramid. Making my own choices, and learning from my missteps (thanks Jeremy
) and becoming a more wise individual, is better than following someone's advice and making the right step. You remove your own power when you believe you can't make a good decision (as well as diminishing your own self-acceptance) and follow someone else for those reasons.
5) So at the end of the day, even if it was proven the universe wanted me to do something and the message wasn't hijacked, I do what I want. I trust myself enough to know that its ok to make missteps and learn, rather to do something else suggested and not truly learn for myself to make decisions. And a truly loving universe understands this, and it respects free will.
So I've thought about the scenario, you know in some bible story, where God asks me to kill someone or something to prove something. I'll say no, knowing even if its a misstep, I will still love myself, and the unconditional love of God will still be with me.
p.s. I personally like using the word "universe" or "creator", because I think God has been used enough in grossly distorted or negatively polarized ways that it no longer carries an unconditional vibration of love, for me at least. This is probably a language association thing though.
