Think Carefully...

Have you ever wondered "who" the voice was in your head when you talk to yourself? I realize it sounds like you and always seems to be there whenever needed. In fact you are reading with this voice right now. But who answers the questions you ask yourself?

The old notion of the angel and the devil, one in each ear, is appropriate. Who do we listen to? Well, the old notion suggests that there are voices in our heads we do not own, otherwise how could we receive an answer to the question. "Should I or Shouldn't I?"

The reference to good and evil is difficult to ignore. Two separate voices in tandem with your own. I am only suggesting that when we ask ourselves for direction, we get mixed signals, like competing sides fighting for victory. "Do I or Don't I?"

One could surmise that it is only perceived to be different voices because the intentions of each are so opposite. Since they argue, they are separate. Since they struggle, they are separate. But, why are the intentions so different? I believe the huge difference in intentions, at the root of their argument, indicates they are other voices communing with us and offering solutions to problems. It is our choice as free will beings to decide which path to follow in solving our problems. We can listen to the side that asks us to be stressful, jealous, angry, greedy, and deceitful or we can listen to the side that says there is something more than all those things. One side presents limited choices while the other presents infinite options. It is simply a matter of choosing. This choice pattern does eventually lead to a result that curiously mirrors many myths about existence after death. Does one choose the path of light or that of darkness? "Will I or Won't I?"

Listen for the responses received in your mind when you next ponder an idea. Listen and think carefully...Is that you answering back?
