Ignoring Voices.

There are times in life when we ignore what we know to be right.Not what other people tell us is right. Not what other people have somewhat influenced us to think is right. Not what looks cool but is not right but rather what we know in the stillness and silence of who we are.

We are quick to point out how things in life or circumstances seem unfair. How the situations in our lives seem to be unravelling contrary to our favour. The Universe or as I would say God, is against us. It feels like we're doing quite alright and we encounter a spoke in our wheel. Someone must be blamed! and it won't be us.

In retrospect and some honest one on one time with myself- I can identify the traffic lights in my life. I may not be perfect-none of us are, but I believe we have guiding voices. I think its the same voice that says we need to walk quickly when passing through a dark and dangerous ally. The same voice that says to us, you may have just said the wrong thing. We often like to ignore the voice of guilt but its that same voice which was the voice of warning. The problem is, we have a tendancy to be reactive as oppose to proactive. We ignore the tell tale signs about people and situations.

If we dare to be honest with ourselves, we will recognize that there was always a sign, a hint, a vibe, a change in the frequency of our emotional vibration. For but a split second- we feel different- we know different. We are warned.

Warnings can be scary. No one wants to be scared. Humans however- ignore warning. We speed passed traffic lights. It looks like we can make it. Think of your warning like a slow car driving ahead of you that's soon to make a left. Ignoring warnings is like overtaking and ramming straight into another vehicle. Dangerous collison.

A warning or caution is set to alert us, to protect us, not prevent us from having fun. Much like the car behind the slow moving one, it seems like we're being held back. It seems like we can make it but what the car ahead of us sees that we do not see, is something harmful and warrant caution.

As oppose to constantly looking at how things have happened to us- I have found it more constructive to analyze how I have been a participant- if I am at all.We are powerful beings with the holy spirit guiding us if we allow it. Sometimes the unfavourable things that have occurred in our lives are all due to us ignoring warnings.

When I found myself in such a rut- I encountered many persons dealing with similar difficulties. The difference is how we saw situations was that they thought there was purpose to every pain. That every bad thing that was happening was part of God plan. Not that I don't see the sense to that however I felt like that took away the fact that God gives us choice.He also gives us guidance and he won't simply stay and cause us pain. Needless pain. 

There are certain experiences that have taught us close to nothing that we did not already know. Blessed with the wisdom some of us have- the experience was just that- the experience. Its like doing drugs and spending 25 years trying desperately to overcome the addiction. There is nothing to learn from it  except going through the lows first hand. Clinics and Doctors and Google and Youtube can paint quite a fabulous picture,pretty much spot on without you shooting up and shooting down your dreams from the sky.

Moments ago- I decided to stop ignoring certain voices that were ringing in my head. They simply would not silence. They would be loud one time and quiet more and more as I ignored them but never silence. I can't help but conclude that it is for my protection and I know this because I have sat in deliberation and reflected upon what happened when the voices were loudest and ignored them.

We all have a spirit of guidance. Some louder than others. Even though yours is quiet it doesn't mean it doesn't work, it just means you need to listen more intently.

Its time to stop blaming and complaining in the face of consequence and realize our fair contribution to whatever predicament we might be in. Once we've understood our ability to make things wrong we can equally claim our power to make things right.

You have a voice to speak.
You also have a voice to listen to.
Listen to your voice.
