(Janine was talking about times in her life in which she lost her connection with her divine guidance, and how despairing it has felt to her. Therefore she feels that she can’t trust it to be there when she needs it.)

“Sometimes you hear your inner voice and you can participate in flowing with guidance.  And when you can’t, you have to be carried.  When you can’t connect with your guidance, then you’re dependent on life to just carry you along, without your conscious participation.  When you’re hearing your guidance, you are a part of the guiding.  When you don’t, you’re probably in a state of confusion.  You’re going blind.  Now just because you don’t know what’s happening, that doesn’t mean that you’re not being carried.  And you could say it’s putting you into territory in which you don’t have conscious grasp.  That’s what’s happening during the dark night of the soul.  You’re in the chaos, basically.  And so you can’t hear any clear messages or guidance because this is new territory.  You are in a place you haven’t been before.  You don’t know what it means, you don’t know how to interpret it, you don’t know what to do.  You are basically a baby.  When you are not in contact with your guidance, that doesn’t mean you are abandoned.  It means things are happening outside of your control.  It doesn’t mean things are going wrong.  It’s just a different stage of experience.”
