We are not our thoughts.  That thinking part that makes the voice in your head, is not you!  You are the awareness of that thinking mind.  You are the person hearing the voice, but not the voice itself.

When we have thoughts that sometimes makes us feel like we are not a likable person – even by ourselves, we must realize that the source of those thoughts is not us at all.  We are the recipient of the thoughts, but not the source.  When we become aware of our thoughts we can observe them without hooking into them.

An awareness of who you really are begins with hearing the voice in your head.  When you can begin to understand that the voice is not you, you can begin to look for yourself.  When you hear the voice, you are beginning to awaken.  The voice is always there, the question is who is listening?   The Being that is listening, is your spiritual self.

When we meditate or spend some quiet time with ourselves, which could be while we are running, working, or relaxing, we give ourselves an opportunity to quiet the voice.  When the voice is quieted, we can begin to hear our inner-self.  That is you!

The voice that is constantly chattering in your mind, and creating thoughts that seem to be continuous, is part of the physical experience.  It is necessary to have the “voice” in order to become aware of it.  Do not try to silence the voice, but rather, accept it, listen to it, and let it pass through your body – unobstructed.  It’s through recognition and an awareness of the “voice” that you can become aware.

When we begin to understand who we really are, we can begin to understand the world and the universe at large.  We must first gain an understanding of ourselves before we can even think about understanding another person.  The interesting thing is the voice convinces us to think that we understand no only ourselves, but everyone around us!

Take the time to sit quietly and listen to the voice that is chattering about in your mind.  Do not absorb the content of the chatter, but rather, observe it.  One day you will become aware of the observer who is the true you!
