To the ego, the ego is King. And its demands and complaints are endless. But did you ever notice that they are also LOUD? I am talking about the voice in the head that is constantly and vociferously dictating your seemingly every move, moment-to-moment.
Its constant vocal chattering is no accident. Why? Because if it allows you to become deeply still, you just might hear another voice inside you. A “quiet voice.” This gentle quiet voice is quite different than the brash egoic one. For what it lacks in volume it makes up for in truly the highest way possible: it is your Truth, your intuition, your authentic Self.
As the saying goes, “Thunder makes all the noise, but it’s lightning that gets the job done.” And notice this: Lightning is always silent.
