Spiritual Thinking makes it simple to discern Divine Thoughts.
1 John 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Hebrews 5:14
But solid food is for the mature, those with powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
Philippians 1:9-10
And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
1 Kings 3:9
Therefore, give your servant an understanding mind to govern your people so that I may discern between good and evil, for who can handle this, your great people?”
Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing, you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
1 Corinthians 2:14
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
John 7:24
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with proper judgment.”
1 Thessalonians 5:21
But test everything; hold fast to what is good.
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
When God created Man in his image and likeness and allowed him to think for himself, God knew that Man would veer off in his thinking, driven by ego, selfishness, and pride. That is why God is present inside us as Divine Mind and is always ready to help us when we seek His help. Therefore, in our best interest, we must take advantage of God’s offer when we need Him. To enable us to reach Him, there are some simple rules for us to follow, just like when driving on the road, we have to follow the traffic rules. We call this Spiritual Thinking the synchronization of our ego-derived human thoughts with the Divine Mind, which is permanently active in us. To synchronize our ideas with the Divine Mind, we must keep affirming that God is all in all and is the only Power on earth for all cause and effect. In addition to this affirmation, with contemplation and understanding, we need to pray and meditate on the truth constantly. This is covered in an earlier Post:
Through Spiritual Thinking, we open up the channels of communication between the Divine Mind and human thoughts, and by practice, the human mind can discern the thoughts passed by the Divine Mind, God, and Brahman. Without these communication channels, human thoughts will only be driven by ego and selfishness, and the thoughts derived are materialistic. Constant practice of spiritual thinking enables one to receive divine ideas very easily and quickly, and the ego is suppressed entirely. At some point, Spiritual Thinking becomes habitual and second nature, such as driving a car without planning every action. Because the same Divine Mind or God is present in each of us, it becomes easier to communicate with others. It becomes even easier if they also practice Spiritual Thinking since they will also be expressing Divine thoughts. Even if they do not practice Spiritual thinking, it does not create as much miscommunication since you can discern what they are saying Spiritually.
You are practicing Spiritual Thinking and want to discern what the Divine Mind says. Suppose you get two or three ideas, just like when driving and you are at a fork and wonder which fork you should take..  For example, after I left my corporate career and hit roadblocks in every direction, I was driving a Limousine in Connecticut. The Limousine Company asked me to take about 20 people to the Airport at JFK on a bus. All of them were Germans. Who were here for sales training? I accepted the job knowing that I had two and a half hours f for the fifty-mile trip. There was no Airport security to go through in those days and it was before; Google Maps were available readily. However, as I hit Highway 95 and before I had gone 15 miles, a Tractor Trailer had jack-knifed on the Highway two miles ahead of me, and had turned over on its side, covering all three lanes. The cops were directing the traffic through a small shoulder, and after about 15 minutes, I could exit the Highway. There was a parallel highway called Hutchinson Parkway, but it was meant only for cars. I got on to that anyway, and after keeping on exiting and reentering to avoid very low underpasses. Finally, I managed to get to Throgsneck Bridge towards Long Island. I had never traveled in this way before, and it was a challenge to drive the Bus through all the heavy traffic in the direction of the Airport, with the Germans getting panicky and screaming in German. To make the long story short, I found myself with a sign ahead saying JFK Airport next exit. I got them all to the terminal 20 minutes before departure, and they all made the flight.
As harrowing as it was, this illustrated that Divine Mind never fails. Of course, we may face similar situations. But if you keep your faith in Divine Mind, Brahman, God, He will always guide you. Even if you are headed the wrong path, He will correct it in the right direction. One clue I always found helpful is your disposition. God always makes you comfortable in any situation. And if you feel any discord, then you are on the wrong path, and seek Divine Mind to help you until you feel pleased with the decision, even though it may be less traveled. Indeed, Spiritual Thinking makes it simple to discern Divine Thoughts.
