You
are used to listening to the buzz of the world, but now is the time to
develop the inner ear that listens to the inner world. It is time
to have a foot in each world, and it can be done.
--Bartholomew
When
we walk down a street or enter a strange room, we automatically scope
it out to find out hoe safe it is, who's there, and what people are
doing. We gather information. We have trained to listen and
observe.
In
the same way, we can train ourselves to learn about the intuitive,
nonrational, spiritual world. The more we learn about this world,
the more we come to understand how important it is to our survival.
One
way to turn our attention toward this world is meditation.
Whether we sit cross-legged, relax by lying flat on the floor, take
long walks, gaze at candles, or listen to music, the point is to calm
ourselves and change our channels from the outer world to the inner
world.
Through
meditation we consciously improve our contact with our spiritual self,
our guide and we discover that living in the material world is easier
when we're listening to both channels.
Help me
listen with my inner ear.
