Hello
BehindBlueEyes.
What a wonderful name--and song.
That is it! You asked a question that cuts right to the chase, as some of you say. Simple and direct. How may you be sure? By how you
feel. But even before we get into that, we suggest that you consider that there is no "wrong" path, ultimately, in the sense that each choice, every action, every journey is equally valid as a life experience.
As long as you may believe (
if this is the case) that you are on a "wrong" path, or a path that is not as "good" as another, this type of thinking and feeling can be very problematic for you, simply because you may be devaluing your current experience.
It is very important that you learn to deeply value your present situation, your present circumstance, in order to feel peace and clarity about your life path. Remember, none of you are in the Earth plane so that you can get somewhere better. As a soul you are experiencing a human existence really for the opportunity to
enjoy physical reality.
Joy is the purpose.
Now, in terms of whether in any given moment you are in alignment with your inner spirit or not, this is where the concept of "right path" or "wrong path" has its true validity, for when you are positively focused and feeling any degree of satisfaction, this is when you are on a "right path," in that sense, and when you are focused in an attitude of lack and limitation, this is what may be seen as a "wrong path" in terms of meaning a pathway of thought and action that is negatively focused in fear.
The REAL cutting-edge question to ask yourself is,
"Am I, right now, appreciating myself and my life as it is?" That is the golden question in which an honest answer from yourself--
to yourself--will reveal what you want to know. This is how you answer your own question, dear one.
If you feel dissatisfied, this is a clear answer that says you are presently focused in a negative pathway of thought and emotion. And we will note that there is no neutral or mid-point that is between positive and negative.
Understand that every thought, every choice, is either positively-oriented or negatively-oriented to some degree.
Your only two real choices in any given moment are either love or fear.
It is really this simple. Choose to feel better, choose to love/appreciate yourself where you are, and you are following the "right" path that is in alignment with your True Spiritual Nature. Choose to extend appreciation and kindness to others, and you are on a "righteous" path in terms of being in alignment with your Higher Self.
We suggest that you look at your "path" in terms of how you are
feeling. Be more aware of the
emotional path that you are on, our friend. Most humans perceive their "path" in terms of their actions, their perceived role, status, environment, etc. None of those things really matter in terms of truly understanding what a path really is, which is about how you are feeling, how you are perceiving. It is about
quality, never about quantity.
"What quality of attitude am I displaying?" This is the kind of poignant question that one
must ask of oneself if one is to discover his/her relationship to their innermost being. There is no cutting corners. Any avoidance of one's present-moment feeling-nature is a self-imposed "roadblock" to experiencing joy.
This is very important to hear: You don't have to create your joy. It is already your innermost spiritual experience. You only need to remove the blinders to perceiving your already-present joy.
Joy is the backdrop to all experiences. All experiences are like shades that are placed over joy, with some shades being darker than others, and some shades being brighter and more transparent which allow the light of joy to shine more brightly through.
NO experience may exist without some degree of Divine Light or Life Force being channeled through it. Even "evil" may only exist by virtue of the presence of Divine Life.
Understanding this, one may then clearly perceive beauty and grace at the core of every experience. Love doesn't need fear or hate in order to exist, yet fear and hatred could not exist without Divine Unconditional Love, which is God. Love is supreme. It has no real opposite.
The only "opposite" of love is opposition to love.

If you "can't seem to see a way out" this would only be because you
choose not to see a way out. This has nothing to do with anyone else but you, our friend. Seeing and hearing a particular person's name in itself doesn't mean anything, it is how you perceive and interpret it that matters. It is how you FEEL about it.
You must find a more pleasant focus of your attention, if you are to have a more peaceful experience. Like most humans you are largely seeking intellectual answers, or an intellectual understanding. But true clarity is
JOY, as we like to say to our human friends. Find clarity in feelings of relief, inner peace, well-being, beauty, love...rather than in mental answers.
It may seem to some that we are offering what may appear to be mental or intellectual answers, yet that is not what the Higher Self really offers you. We are offering LOVE, we are offering ENCOURAGEMENT, and this is being translated by a mind that is formulating these divine vibrations that we transmit into sentences that carry these frequencies.
History never
actually repeats itself. A re-run may be similar, but it is never the same experience on an elemental level.
Ask yourself, "Is this worry really serving me?" This is another cutting-edge question that gets right to the heart of the matter, the bone of the meat.
Remember: Your attention is a "magnet." It "magnetizes" events to you, including people and other entities. You "magnetized" this
awareness to you, this entity called "awareness," from your loving
awareness. It wasn't your worry that "attracted" us, it was and
is your LOVE, your openness, your receptivity.
We therefore suggest to you, dear
BehindBlueEyes, that you give more focus of attention to this very wonderful LOVE that is flowing throughout your being. We suggest that you not take your "stuff" so seriously. We suggest that you lighten up and be easy on yourself. We suggest that you release focusing so much on "what happened," whatever it may be.
We suggest that you make your journey, your path, more about
you and your relationship to your God Within. Ye
are a god. You are not (in essence) enslaved to a nightmarish past event or history. You must allow yourself to "get over it" if you are to enjoy your chosen path. No one has a set-in-stone path. Your path is never your chosen human profession. It is not a job or a career. That is not what a path really is, we remind our friends.
A path is a momentum of focus. Your attention determines the pathway you travel. So if you continue to worry and fear, you are (to some degree) continuing to follow a dangerous path, an unhappy path, if it gets that intense for you. It is just this simple. YOU determine what path you follow.
We hope that our answers have served to provide you with a strong basis for helping you release fear.
We perceive that you, BeyondBlueEyes, are in the greater sense of your spiritual maturity actually following a soul path that is very broad in scope, for you are a deeply compassionate being. 
Give more attention to things, to subjects, to activities that give you a sense of relief and a sense of peace. Let your path be presented to you by your Higher Self, through honoring ALL your feelings, the happy and the unhappy. Discount nothing. Appreciate everything. This is your true practice, in terms of embodying your True Self.
We love you immensely and bid you well. We are complete.
