The Inner Teacher

Fox discovered that this Inner Teacher was more easily accessed when people gather in community. While we gather in community, we are free to think our own thoughts, receive our own insights and sometimes, share insights from our Inner Teacher as vocal ministry with those gathered. How do we know when a message is from this Inner Teacher and not simply our thoughts, or ego wanting to be heard?
