Who is the voice of society, “they,” statistics, experts, and people, as in, “what will ‘people’ think?” These are hidden ways of speaking to yourself, stealthily. This is a sly collection of voices in your head masquerading as “conventional thinking.”
“They” are the hidden spies, the ingredients of inhibition – paranoia cloaked within. The enemy is made up. God is made up. For many, conventional thinking is a murky malaise hidden in the shadows of the inner psyche, dictated from “out there.” And the so-called “voicelessness of God” is clarity, wisdom, and direction whispered in lower-felt resonance.
What does society expect of me? What will people say? Conversely, what is “God” telling me? These are all ways we talk to ourselves. One seems shallow and enemy-like, disorderly (conventional thinking). The other, seems deep and primordial, orderly (unconventional thinking/wisdom).
I’ve heard the difference between conventional thinking and divine discernment is depth. Is there a true difference between the surface of the ocean, the craggy, turbulent waves and the deep, blue sea? A wave is the ocean, even if large, violent, noisy, and wayward. The deep, black, serene depth is the ocean, even if still, all-surrounding, and profoundly silent. The surface and the depth are synonymous, yet strangely act anonymously towards each other.
We talk to ourselves, pray to ourselves, doubt ourselves, betray and lie to ourselves and “hear” from ourselves. Is “hearing from God,” or “what others say,” or “what you think” any different from plainly talking to yourself in the shadows of your own mind?
Are we not the ocean, both in waveform and in depth? Even if I discern the “will of the universe,” I have just “heard” from myself. Even if I believe in conventional “wisdom,” I have also just heard from myself.
If the answer and question both come from me, who in the hell is talking? Who is listening?
I AM.
