One of the most important things you can do in your lifetime is learn how to listen to your Inner Voice. Why is this important? We have all heard the story of the person who had an angel speaking in one ear and the devil speaking in the other while this person decided which one to listen to. The devil is not real, but there is a part of your mind that functions like the devil and we call this your egoic mind. This part of your mind has nothing to do with Higher powers and only wants to control your life. This part of the mind speaks loudly and is quick to be heard. This part of your mind wants to be your best friend and will do anything to get there whether it is in your best interest or not. The ego mind is very powerful and can create some amazing things. While I caution you to always question reality, I also ask that you stay open to infinite possibilities.
I think it is important to understand at this point that your mind is a tool, it is not who you are. So think about this, when I first heard this I got very excited and well, experienced an epiphany. My first question to follow was “who am I” and I heard you are the soul. This concept is not new either and getting a full grasp on this can be very enlightening. In fact once you understand “who you are” you realize that you are enlightened! You are a Spiritual being having a Human experience.
The way most of us experience life at this point is that we hear two voices in our heads, the ego mind or human mind and the Spiritual mind, God mind, Christ mind, Buddha mind, or True self. There are many names for these aspects of the mind and it serves you very well to understand them both so you can make informed decisions.
Many books have been written on this subject and I will recommend two here now. Eckhart Tolle’s book “A New Earth” is excellent and I think fun to read. Oprah agrees with me as she endorses this book too. Now is a good time to buy this book at the link provided, the lowest price listed is one penny. The other book is one that has helped me tremendously, and one you may not have heard of “A Voice for Love” by DavidPaul and Candace Doyle. The website link provided has the book and free tips for hearing the Voice of God which is just another name for the names listed above, Spiritual mind, True Self, Inner Voice, etc. Many of us know this as the voice of God and thus their choice to use that title.
Next time I will go further into this discussion of listening to your inner voice, and steering around the egoic mind. Blessings on your Journey of Love 🙂 Sequoia Elisabeth
