Doubt

Doubt is invented by your personality. It is a mechanism for introducing question marks. And this he can do because of the various interpretations that you can make of a certain situation, thus suspecting that alos different outcomes are possible. Each of these possibilities seems to have its own mix of pleasant, less pleasant and unforeseen aspects were it to be realized, and the motivation of your personality is highly based on as much pleasant experiences for you as possible. The more you doubt, the more your personality insists on being able to prevent unpleasant outcome from happening. A simple example: you would not doubt for one second what to wear when you would not mind what color sweater you would wear and when reactions of others with regard to your clothing were neutral for you.

It is your personality who uses doubt to extend his role of reaction mechanism to one of decision maker of your (and other people's ) lives. Doubting is a time-consuming way to spend your time, and its outcome often turns out to be surprisingly unimportant. Remember those situations where you made a huge effort to come up with all aspects, talk about them, put them in perspective etc., and end up doing that what 'felt right', 'followed your first choice anyway' etc.

When you doubt whether or not you are listening to your inner Self, be confident that you are listening to your personality. Since experiences of your inner Self are always accompanied by certainty, an unshakeable knowing that it is right the way it is. It will automatically come into your awareness when you let go of the energy you invest in your personality. In the absence of your personality there is no doubt because it is not an aspect of your inner Self.

The fact that the outcome of a certain situation does not meet the ideas and standards of your personality does not justify the process of doubt, it only demonstrates that the outcome is not what your personality wants it to be. Same applies to the absence of a choice where your personality expected a choice to be appropriate.
