We all have an “inner voice”. But we’ve been taught not to listen to it and conditioned not to hear. We’ve even been taught not to admit to having this voice if we do hear it, lest we be labeled strange, crazy or locked up in a mental ward.
This conditioning is powerful. It directs us away, away, away from the Truth of us. It tells us we must measure our thoughts against the external world and abdicate our thrones to the worldly experts and institutions placed before us as gods.
We have been fooled into searching for God and guidance somewhere “out there” when the irony is that God is within; and only found by turning inward. We have everything we need inside of us and yet we are convinced to ignore that and gaze out across the landscape of our lives looking for answers. What a cruel joke then, to realize that out there is the illusion and that we always had what we needed inside, just waiting for us to quiet ourselves enough to listen.
God has been effectively hidden in the one place that the physical world steers us away from at every opportunity: within ourselves. And although a person may hear those words, God is Within, he won’t actually understand them until he reaches a personal interaction with the Inner Self. And how can he do that? How can he give that Inner Self any credence when his whole life he has been taught that he is a “sinner”, a “wretch”, a shameful human begging for forgiveness.
You see, we have two inner voices. One that speaks Truth to us. Truth of the highest order. And one that lies and manipulates to get us to focus on the external, Physical Realm at the expense of the Spiritual. The devil on one shoulder and angel on the other. Which one will you hear if you believe deep down that you are faulty? Does the Still Small Voice stand a chance of getting your attention? Which one will you pay attention to if you have been told your whole life that there is something fundamentally wrong with you? (And even if there isn’t anything wrong with you, then you’re still deemed to be guilty of “Original Sin” so you mustn’t get too enamored with yourself.)
Which voice have you been conditioned to hear while at the same time being taught to fear it? In that dynamic, it becomes your Shadow. Your Shame gets buried and begins to operate you like a puppet.
How sad.
Because the Truth is, that OTHER voice you hear, the one that speaks to you with Love and kindness, the one that says things to you that your Earthly self does not know… could not know… is there in your mind all along. That voice is the one of Truth. That voice is the one that tethers you to The All and is none other than I AM.
This is the voice you want to attune yourself to. The other one lies and tells you everything that’s “wrong” with you, according to man’s standards. It has to because that’s its job. It is the Adversary, set up to do two things - one to make you think you are separate from God and to allow you to build a persona around that falsity. It allows you to “live a life” here on this plane as a separate being; as an individual.
But here’s the kicker…that very same illusion of separation is actually what allows you to experience the most glorious Remembering of who and what you actually are.
You couldn’t Remember if you didn’t forget.
It’s a gift.
And once you figure that out, you can tell the persona to take
a back seat and put it to work for you — you as your Higher Self.
Sure, you can keep the costume and the labels if you choose, but they become very unimportant as you learn to navigate this Realm as what you really are. A fractal of God.
Now, who or what tries to tell you that you are not this wonderful thing? That you couldn’t possibly be anything other than a sinful human, down here begging for scraps of a Love that you hear tell of, but have probably never actually felt because you don’t believe you are worthy of such a thing?
Yep. The very place that you go thinking you are on the path towards growing spiritually…Religion. Church. And don’t get me wrong, I actually think it has some good to offer.

It can be a start. But if you don’t at some point begin to recognize that your attention is being drawn outward instead of in, and that you are being set up to believe that Jesus was the only Son of God - the only perfect man capable of Divine Actualization, then you are at risk of being trapped in the mind-chains for your whole life.
Which inner voice are you going to learn to listen to if your view of yourself is one of embedded guilt and shame?
The Kingdom of God is within. The Christ is within. And you will Know this when it dawns in you through your own experience and understanding.
In Love,

Life happens at the juncture between Matter (Mother) and Spirit (Father). Life is the Son.
YOU are that Son. The juncture is within you. It IS You.
You are the Threshold,
the Connection,
the liminal space between the two.
That’s also where the tension lies…the friction,
The “Adversary”
The catalyst
The phase-shift
The Magic
LIFE ITSELF.
See it for what it is and embrace it. You came here for this - to be strung upon the cross of Matter/Mater/Mother Earth.
Crucified, if you will.
Your life is your cross,
your crux,
your crucible…
In it you will create something new out of the interaction between opposing elements.
The Christos.
It’s You.
It always was.
Welcome Home.

Your Judgement isn't waiting for you in the after-life.
It's in the after-math of every choice you make.

Learn to Love your Shadow.
The Shadow is important and Love is the answer for two reasons:
1) It is a necessary part of all of us that helps us to grow. Without it, there would be no adversary, no opposing force that challenges us to evolve. There would be no “choice”. It’s only by being offered a choice that we have the opportunity to opt for one road or another.
And…
2) The only way to truly “defeat” it is to Love it. You cannot approach your Shadow with judgement and condemnation and expect to do anything but create more.
The ONLY way to conquer it is to face it and to shine the Light of your Awareness onto it…to offer it Unconditional Love.
The reason the Shadow persists and causes us to suffer is out of a lack of Love and the illusion of separation. It does not need more hate. YOU do not need more hate. That only compounds the issue.
These are subtle adjustments in how we view things, but they make all the difference.
We ARE Dualistic Beings. And we live in a world of Duality. Without it, we actually have no world. At least not a physical one, because it is the dance between opposing forces that creates everything here.
You are a fractal of God encased in earthly flesh. That is your “cross” to bear and is the source of your struggle. Your earthly desires and limitations are the very things that act as catalysts to evolve your Soul.
In Love,
TR ✨💕✨
