The Point of the Whisper

A whisper is spoken at a soft low level, so that you have to pay attention to it. Sometimes you can feel a whisper as you drink it in through your senses. Words spoken to the mind are often jammed in like a traffic jam and you are expected to remember, navigate and understand them all crowded together in your mind, but a whisper catches your attention. It perks your interest and forces you to concentrate on the energy behind it. It is something that you can drink in slowly and savor the feelings within it if you want. Whispers pull you off the road of day to day life and ask you to consider things that are really important to you and others.

It Comes from Within

A whisper should take us deep into our self.

It should introduce us to our inner knower: the Inner Teacher.

Never project what you feel onto another, because this wisdom or enlightenment is coming from within us, not them. 

Do not make the mistake that they are the source. They simple carry the message to us to awaken our inner sleeping wisdom and love.

Who's Driving?

No one is more special than you are. No one is wiser than you are. No one knows your truth but YOU.

Most of the world is still seeking and, as such, has not found. They are looking to others to provide an answer, or truths, to follow. 

What began as a feeling in their heart was kidnapped by thoughts, opinions, and even the teachings of others. The simplicity of truth was buried within the mind and truth's power to transform was lost in confusion.

You are the key and the answer to your transformation.  No one else has the key or the answers. 

What you discover within your inner journey paves the road before you. You must drive your personal car along it and build the road as you go.  Never look back for another to say, “Let me drive.”

Follow Yourself

The only confirmation we need is our awareness. Do not look to others to confirm it.

Awareness is not a popularity contest where the most who agree will win. Awareness is our own personal and individual connection with existence -- no duplicates exist. Awareness is right for us, because it feels right to us and this feeling is our body of existence.

The experience of us within us is all that matters, not what others have felt or experienced.  Each must decide what is right and true for them in awareness. We must agree within ourselves that this is our truth and not another’s truth.

In awareness we must follow ourselves.

The Deeper Truth

Silence is the greater wisdom and in it is revealed the deeper truths.

Words and ideas dilute the truth and further distance the seeker from the essence of reality.

It is not possible to describe what is contained in the silence, but when we truly feel it, it naturally reveals its content to those who are open to receiving.

We should never defend what we believe, because eventually our ignorance will be revealed and our lack of knowing uncovered. 

Truth always manifests in silence as knowing and, as such, it needs no defense for the one receiving it. 

Proof is not necessary for those who seek in the silence and receive the reward of their sincerity.

Feeling the Now

The moment of Now is all that you need in awareness -- to know, not simply believe.

Truth reveals itself clearly to all those who are aware.  They do not need to be taught how to find it.  In fact, the teaching will only be in the way of truly finding it. Anything approached through the mind is doomed to fail. 

Feel your feelings; feel your thoughts; feel the silence within and your beingness.  Witness it all and become aware.

Detach from the mind and place your attention on what you feel.

The greater the silence, the deeper the feeling, the clearer the revelation of the true nature of our being in and through awareness within.

The Ideal or the Real

The world is always aspiring to the ideal, not the real. Everyone wants power, love, and wealth, but the mind only understands control, lust, and money.

The mind interprets these things in a way that only the mind can understand: as objects to be acquired through desire and effort, and as things to be possessed or acquired in time, not as expressions of our inner goodness and truth. We allow our minds to tell us what is true and real, but our hearts know different.

The reason the ideal and the real never meet is because we do not trust ourselves, or life, to create that which is real within us. We are uncertain if our goodness or truth can bring us happiness or harmony with existence and we wonder whether we can survive here with it.

We fear the darkness in ourselves and do not investigate its origin or the reality of our inner natures. The ideal within us knows that something beautiful and good exists within us, but the reality is, our minds have created a distraction to prevent us from discovering the truth within.

We aspire for the ideals within our imaginations and ignore the reality of our inner pain and the proper way to heal it within.

Enlightenment is Now

Enlightenment is the recognition of the true self in the moment of Now. It is not an idea, but an experience in consciousness. It is your truth being experienced as reality.

The mistake of the mind is that it tells us this experience can only be experienced after certain conditions are met.  This is not true.

Enlightenment is alive within you now.  It always has been.  But the truth has been hidden in words and ideas and the result is an error in understanding. In the multitude of many words, there is much misunderstanding.

Truth is immediate, if we leave the mind and enter the world of feeling consciousness. We must pay attention to the subtle suggestions within consciousness or the still small voice as it is called. 

Truth is not the end of the journey, but the revelation of the journey.

Truth

Truth can never be experienced from the experiences or techniques of others.  Truth is the life we are living at any time.

The aware understand the broad meaning of truth and realize in consciousness that the definition of truth is both personal and endless.

We do not discover our truth from the investigation of others' experiences. Integrity says we must discover it on our own from the investigation within our own consciousness.

Truth cannot be copied and should not be. Truth is designed to reveal our own unique position within creation.

The Fanatic

(Whisper) An emotionalized or fanatical mind will seek to overpower a simple mind. Those who fuel the ego and

mind with ideas or beliefs concerning power over others or themselves will use emotion to lord it over them.

People want to believe, but they do not know how to become what the ideals in their beliefs represent. They yearn for an answer to the broken promises within their minds. 

The fanatic sees this vulnerability and exploits them for it. They promise what they themselves have not achieved and urge others to follow them into a fruitless quest.

The fanatic lives on thoughts of personal superiority and the emotional manipulation of the minds of others. They play on the false hopes of others and lead them to a place of painful realizations.

Awareness is not Faith

The ego and the mind look for saviors, teachers, and personalities to escape the individual responsibility of becoming aware. 

We may hear the distant truth whispering to us in our awareness, but we choose to avoid it, or address it, without some form of mediation in consciousness. We look to someone else to do it for us.

Awareness does not come, until we lose faith in everyone and everything but self … our personal inner self.

Awareness does not come until we realize that our experience and understanding of truth is through our imagination only, not directly known from within and the truth of our nature and being.

It is a day of deep personal integrity, humility, and honesty towards self when we understand that we only know what we have heard and have not directly experienced the truth within our being.

Living the Illusion

Death and birth are the only true and real experiences we have in life. Everything else is tainted by the mind, ego, emotion, and imagination.

We are pure again at birth and death and we see with the real eyes of consciousness. We know who we are and what we are, because at that point we are all that is. 

The illusion does not exist anymore for the person who has made peace with their inner nature prior to death.

Clarity of being is what is felt prior to birth and it can be felt prior to death, if we return within to our source of beingness. 

The illusions of mind, ego, and imagination seduce us most of our lives, but the closer we come to the end, their influence loses its grip. We marvel at how fast life appears to be going and nostalgia invades our waking moments. 

We realize that all our dreams, desires, and expectations seem small when we consider the big question of “Why?"

Are you Persuaded or Aware?

Only the aware escape the power of persuasion. Those who do not know themselves (Self) are at the mercy of those with the will to persuade.

Persuasion is hypnotic, magnetic, and it can mesmerize the mind of the ignorant and the gullible into believing almost anything. 

Those who are fanatic about anything often possess and use this skill to trap the unaware into their web of deceit. Their intent is to gain power over others' minds, beliefs, and money.

The aware person does not seek to persuade or influence anyone.  They simply offer insight when it feels right in their heart. They never preach the gospel of awareness, nor do they sell it as something that they own. 

An aware person keeps their peace and lets the silence speak for them. They can feel when sharing is appropriate.

The knower, or aware person, does not need to be persuaded, because they have become the known and the truth of their existence is revealed within them. Doubt does not haunt them and the crutches of beliefs are no longer needed.

Imagination or Awareness

If spiritual information cannot be felt as truth within the heart of a person, it is useless for them. 

There is much information that appeals to the mind, the emotions, and the imagination in the world, but it is only appealing to the mind and ego. It is used to form a cult of beliefs for those seeking to be believers, not knowers. 

It is unnecessary to put on a Hollywood production to share the truth.

Knowing is a personal process within an individual's self and their awareness. It is the only way that truth can be experienced. 

Many worship the teachings and tales of others without any direct knowledge of what they believe.  This is a waste of time on their spiritual path.

Truth is a personal experience that happens without the assistance of anyone, no matter what title they profess to have achieved. This is why it is reckless and foolish to follow the beliefs of anyone. 

Some carry the vibration of awareness and they can assist others in the realization of truth, but no shortcut or secrets exist. You can use the experience of others as a template, but the template is no guarantee of success for anyone.
