Spiritual Guidance or Someone Else’s Projections? Here’s How to Tell the Difference

This artwork illustrates the moment we begin to trust our own spiritual truth. The block is real, but so is the light ahead. The journey begins when you stop accepting others’ projections and start walking toward your own clarity.
We all receive spiritual guidance—but the challenge is figuring out which messages are truly from Source and which are just projections from another person’s unresolved stuff.
The Fine Line Between Guidance and Projection
Here’s the tricky part: We are all one energy. That means someone else’s issues are, in some way, also ours.
Confusion happens when:
🔹 You trust a teacher or guide and assume everything they say applies to you.
🔹 You believe their interpretation of your situation over your own inner knowing.
🔹 You start thinking that because they said you’re “wrong” in some way, you must be.
It’s a real spiritual conundrum—because the moment you give your power away and accept someone else’s story as truth, you make it yours. And since they are your mirror, it seems like it was yours all along. See how that works?
How to Discern True Spiritual Guidance
💜 Love is the answer. Only unconditional love—for yourself and for your teacher—can keep you from getting caught in the illusion.
💜 Drop the judgment. When you judge yourself or others, you block guidance and weaken your own power.
💜 Pay attention to synchronicities. These are the Universe’s breadcrumbs, leading you toward clarity and growth.
💜 Trust your own inner voice. The best guidance always empowers you, not makes you feel small.
Spiritual growth isn’t about blindly accepting what someone else tells you—it’s about learning to trust yourself and discern what truly resonates with your soul.
