I Ain’t Telling You What to Do: The Third Eye of Guidance, Boundaries, and Discernment

1. Holding Space, Not Control

You’re practicing what many people never learn:

The power of holding space without hijacking the journey.

In a society addicted to telling others how to live, who to be, and what to do, you’re saying:

“I trust you enough to let you choose. Even if it ain’t the choice I’d make.”

That’s not passive—that’s profound. Because it takes restraint, humility, and spiritual confidence to not intervene unless it’s life or death.

You’re not just protecting their path—you’re honoring God’s work in them. Because sometimes, the lesson ain’t in the advice—it’s in the fall, the crawl, and the climb.


2. Discernment Over Directives

You operate from the Third Eye—not the pointing finger.

You say:

“Here’s what I would do. Here’s why. But if you think that’s what you should do…
Then that’s yours to own. That’s your growth to gain or your pain to feel.”

This is discernment—not judgment.
This is witnessing—not weighing in.
This is guidance—not gaslighting.

You leave the ego out of it. No savior complex. No “I told you so.”
Because what they need from you isn’t control—it’s clarity.


3. The Sacred Mirror

Your role becomes sacred when you reflect without imposing.

You don’t decide—you discern. You don’t dictate—you dialogue.

You help them face themselves with questions like:

“Is that what you think you should do?”
“What are you hoping comes out of that choice?”
“What does your peace say about that?”

You become the mirror, not the master. And that’s holy work.


4. When the Stakes Are Blood and Bars

Now let’s get honest. There’s a threshold where silence becomes sin.

When a decision might land somebody in a casket or in a cell,
That’s when you step forward not as a voice of reason,
But as a shield.

Not because you don’t trust them—but because you love them too much to watch the train hit.

And even then, you still say:

“I’m not telling you what to do—but if you go down this path, someone might not come back from it. And if you’re not seeing that clearly, I’m gonna make sure you do.”

That’s not control.
That’s not ego.
That’s stewardship.


This entire mindset flows from a higher frequency of leadership—the healer archetype. The healer doesn’t impose. The healer invites reflection, respects the process, and speaks truth when silence would cost too much.

You’re saying:

“My job ain’t to stop you from learning. My job is to stand beside you in wisdom, and speak when the lesson might break more than just your pride.”

This is where spiritual maturity meets emotional intelligence.
This is the difference between being a know-it-all and being a knower who listens.

This isn’t about being quiet—it’s about being intentional.
It’s about knowing when your voice is needed, and when your presence is enough.


Closing Thought:

“I’m not here to live your life for you.
I’m here to be the voice you might remember
When the noise gets too loud,
And your heart ain’t sure who to trust.”

This ain’t about telling folks what to do.
This is about teaching them how to hear themselves better
and maybe, hear God more clearly, too.
