Knowing what is appropriate behaviour and still …

Inspiration from your inner Self will not always be in line with the logic and/or guidelines your personality uses for appropriate behaviour, how things should be in life, what is expected from you. This does not mean you will start misbehaving, or be weird, or rude, however, you will no doubt come across situations where you are inspired to do things differently from the rules your personality upholds or believes he is expected to follow. 

The experience this is likely to call forth in you, will have two aspects: on the one hand the surprising and yet unmistakeable clear inspiration from your inner Self by which you know this is the only right thing to do or not to do, or do it in a certain way. On the other hand, the reactions from your personality  who is likely to come up with all kinds of arguments why this were to be a ridiculous thing to do. Since you cán do it in an appropriate way according to his rules, then why would you nót do so. Or: it is good for your relationship when you ...., his suggestions will prevent you from having to face that others will believe you are .... etc. Even though the certainty which always accompanies inspiration from your inner Self will not have you doubt this in itself, the situation as a whole is likely to offer you some intense moments of practice, where you are likely to find yourself take closer looks at both the inspiration from your inner Self and the arguments of your personality, and the personality outcome that you are not taking good care of yourself, will be seen in a new light. That is fine, it will increase your insight and experience with both aspects, and you will no doubt, as you practice, will be more and more confident to simply follow the inspiration from your inner Self.

Practice like this can occur in simple experiences like taking a different road than usual, as well as in more intense situations within relationships, when people die etc.
