This is true new age, which is as ancient as ever.
Do you become swollenheaded, literally, by stuffing your consciousness with the things of the world. Or do you empty your consciousness by submitting it to the Highest consciousness, the all knowing, going forth on whatever it tells you?
Reading this, what do you think is the smartest thing to do?
Going forth on what you know because of what you gathered in this life, or to go forth on a consciousness which is all knowing/all seeing/all encompassing, which knows best?
f.e.
You go some place, and a guy gives you a shovel and speaks the truth about the place where you are at, there are lots of treasures burried in the ground, not to deep, easy to collect. In an hour you'll have plenty of gold, money, let's say you even find all stuff the person you live with Always desired, whatever it is. And with these treasures you could make all of your friends happy. What you don't know is that when you will be digging in the ground, a bomb will drop on the area and you will be dead. Nobody knows except the higher consciousness, the all knowing, ofcourse.
If you have to decide for yourself, well, let's just say this opportunity is to good to say no to, but you don't know it will kill you.
By yourself, you would start digging.
But the higher consciousness, would tell you not to dig, for you would end up dead, haven't pleased anybody of the people you know with the treasures.
Which one will be of more value, your own idea, or what the higher consciousness tells you, leaving it for what it is and to get out of the area?
If there wouldn't have been the all knowing, you would have ended up dead, trying to satisfy the people you know.

I definately rely upon intuition and the messages I get from inside. The problem is, Spirit does not say the same thing to everyone.

Spirit tells you what is best for you, right here, right now. What is best, right, or true for you may not be for someone else.
Bluesma
So as I speak what is shown to me, another might say "Hey, you are wrong! You aren't listening to Spirit! That must be your ego giving you misdirection, because it is not what Spirit says to me."

And there is the challenge people face. Do you stand with the perspective shown to you by the Higher Consciousness, despite the other claiming you are "wrong", inferior, unenlightened, etc.? Or do you let their judgement put doubt in you and instead of listening to that whisper within, just ask them to tell you what is true, what is right, and what to do?
Bluesma
I choose to live with the judgement of others, and stand beside what I am shown now. It might change, what is true now might not be later. I don't know. I won't claim to know. I don't search to know the universal path for all- I have no need of that. Other peoples paths are not my business.

I'd say, you can try and communicate your realisations with others and discuss them provoking intellectual conversations if the person is sensitive to it. Or you can meditate further upon them yourself.
f.e. If spirit told you to take the only pencil in the area to start drawing, if it were true for three people over there, it would create a situation impossible. So in that case, it is not bad for it to be as you described.

Trust yourself on this. That person is probably pulling a joke or isn't a friend in need.
Spirit gives you your life. As the bible says it is better to trust in God (through His Holy Spirit then) than to trust in man.
You just need the strenght to face these things on your own (I guess). Finding the rest of God is a good start. I hope you are or will be able to enjoy it.

Of course is not bad. But it is something that makes giving others advice on what they should do sticky business....
