In The Outer Limits of Chaos

It's no secret that our society fills our lives and minds with clutter, chaos, and noise.  All this impacts our stress level and our body's ability to handle stress.

We can't hear our own voices anymore. We drown our own hearts and spirit by thoughts, obligations, radio, TV, other people, demands, responsibilities...  It's an arduous and relentless assault on all our senses and spirit. We stand in the middle of it all like a barren tree in rising flood waters.

But Life doesn't have to be lived this way. Life doesn't have to even be seen this way. Living is much more fulfilling, much more profound, much more joyful.

There is this place that I can go any time I wish. Every one has this place, as well.  It's the source of  personal power and love.  It's inside...deep in the chasms of my soul.  It's the place of Silence. And where there is silence, only truth can be heard. Where there is silence, no lies can be uttered. 

It's that place where time can't touch with its ticking, demanding hands. No worries for future exists here. No regurgitation of  yesterday exists here. Where there are no distractions, all that is left is the essence of who I am and the voice of Creator.

Our inner workings are so complex. I simplified it as a reminder to myself. The mind is where everyone else's voice exist. The heart is where I hear my own voice. But the soul...the soul is the place where I hear the voice of Creation. It's subtle, peaceful...like soft whispers or distant lullabies. This is the place of silence...but a beautiful, fulfilling, serene silence. The silence of dreams and visions.

The mind is clamouring with every one's voices, opinions, expectations. Some days, it's an angry mob of protesters. Other days, it's a nursery of whining toddlers.  It drowns out the heart--my own voice. It demands to take precedence. Since there are times my own voice is also in the mind, it's easy to lose discernment and believe that every thing in the mind is aligned with my own voice, my heart.  It isn't always.


For myself, it's vital to know all the differences between the mind, heart and soul.  Knowing the differences is key to making them all one--bringing them into alignment with who I really am. With discernment, I can separate things in the mind that echo my heart and soul. I can extract the positive things, things that serve me well and discard the rest to the wind.


But I can't begin the process in my mind. I have to start in the outer limits of the chaos--in the soul. I take what is there and bring it up through me. I use my own measuring gauge. Does the heart echo the soul? What in the mind echoes both heart and soul?


It's not a thinking process. It's a listening with totality of Being, then feeling process.
