Who listens to that voice within? (46)
Dusty43: It's nice to to read - get information - research - 'he said, she said, they said..."
but
who actually listens to what's inside them and
has 'experienced' the wisdom of the spirit?
All the information 'out there' is interesting but
it's all just words - someone else's opinions, besides, really, our own.
What are some of your 'inside' experiences?

Most of whatI have learned and speak about has come from the voice from within..anything I have learned or information I receive has to agree with that voice first before I do....My choices...plans and people I choose to have as friends also must resonate with that voice...so I constantly listen to it...but it took me a lot of years to learn to do so!!!!!!!!

I think it's hard to hear --
so
covered up by all
the noise of
the
Ego.

Yes you have to get rid of the noise of the things that don't matter....

I believe in Ichinen Sanzen, literally 3000 worlds in a single life moment.
Its the totality of my life at any moment, and includes not only my thoughts and feelings, but those of my peers and the phenomena that make up my environment. As such, all information, from outside, inside, from an enlightened state contained within a tree, from the buddha-nature of a rock, or from a passage quoted from the bible by a christian, are the buddha attempting to enlighten me via "Expedient Means", or, whatever means are most appropriate to the time and place in question, and according to my own present level of understanding...
Thus, when the seeker is ready, the way shall appear.
You make a distinction between outside and inside, dusty. That's dualistic thinking. 
I know how you hate to be accused of that.

When it comes to that voice yes...it deals in reality....

I am at the point where I realize it's all an illusion, the world isn't real...
but it feels so real and many times it hard for me to realize that
you are me.

Dusty43: Haha That's really stretching it, huh.
Non-local, non-dualistic. You are me and visa-versa...It is only the ego that maya (illusion) has instilled in us that prevents us from seeing this dependent origination. "We" are one, "we" are buddha, and there is no "bad" buddha, or "good" buddha, only the buddha. Those are labels attributible to ego. When this is accepted, all things become enlightenment.

Sometimes its soooooo surprising when u listen to yourself .. theres so much more wisdom and clarity in the inner voice than what your conscious mind perceives ..

Thank you, Tracy. That is the thinking I adhere to. As soon as I get my foot unstuck.

Silence and emptiness are siamese twins. When we achieve emptiness, we also listen to the silence that informs all...
That is Zen. The teaching of which is transmitted not by words, but by expression. The simple perfection of a silent flower is the object of the Flower Sermon, not spoken, but rather, experienced.

As being with a Native American for 2 years plus being raised
between 2 reservations I have learned to truly believe in our
spirit nature who will lead us if we take time to close our minds
and listen. I had an overwhelming experience with night spirits
and an enlightening one at a healing ceremony.
Spoken by a Native American Leader
I believe that we can express our natural gratitude and faith in
making a better world and honor one another as sacred beings
and creatures of a greater source.... whichever you may choose
to believe.
Pilamaya.... Thank You
