The Language of Our Inner Voice - Ese Magege: transcript

greetings for and sorus and welcome to the Symposium um I'm essay M and I'm very happy to be with you uh today so today we're going to be talking about the language of the inner voice bear with me while we why share my slides with you so quick overview of what we're going to be doing today today we're going to be covering um two key principles um that give us a deeper understanding of what the inner voice is and its nature um we're going to also be looking uh at nature for the existence of these principles then we will show how these principles relate to the inner voice we'll dive deeply into what the inner voice is and how can we assess and handness it and then lastly we'll do uh a meditation on intuition frto and sorus what is the

inner voice the inner voice we refer to here is the voice of intuition before we dive deeper into intuition let us first understand why it exists in the first place and the role it plays in our lives why do you think intuition exists these two um spiritual principles will help explain the reason for its existence and they are that the purpose of which each Soul has entered the material world is to discover itself and be a Channel of blessings to others living the world a better place than when we met it a channel of blessings we understand that each experience we encounter and add and not by chance for in discovering ourselves

that we may contribute to the welfare of others the second principle is that we are all connected and we are all one everything in the universe is interconnected so let us now look at nature for the existence of these principles and show how they relates to intuition let's take the example of a newborn baby how many of you have witness the BET of a newborn in the course of my work I have been privileged to witness the BET of newbs and recently when my niece was born it was interesting seeing how she looked around the room staring at the faces of doctors and nurses many researchers and child

Educators believe that the initial searching in newborns or the initial searching observing newborns is a search for the mother a familiar point of reference for the newborn according to Dr monor uh a phys Ian and a child care educator in the uterus the child learns its environments such as the heart and digested sounds of the mother the scent of the mother the voice of the parents and so forth this is one of the fundamental reasons why the practice of placing the infant on the mother's chest shortly after delivery it's widely encouraged and is still very much invoked in most hospitals today in this example we see inating babies is this natural learning

ability in the uterus the fetus learns um sounds learns things like the heart sounds of the mother and the voices of the parents this innate learning ability becomes more apparent When You observe a child babies at a few months old discover movement of their hands and then that they can grab objects with it then they discover their feet and that they can grab their feet with their hands this self-discovery keeps some babies fully engaged and excited babies are constantly grabbing on things and then releasing them soon after they discover that they can make sounds some babies Babel through the day and very much and very much entertained

themselves by the sounds they make then they discovered that they can move that they can crawl from one place to the other at this point there's no stopping them everything in their territories are meant for grabs and go in the mouth they discover in their own that the objects make sound when they put them down par andaur again we see this natural innate learning ability of infants to explore and discover themselves and their environment reflective of the principle that each Soul enters the material world to discover self and the process contribute to the welfare of others I will give another example this past summer at the rescu colum Junior order convention in San

Jose California Dr CH koranki a physician and he works with kids presented a lecture to the colums and Junior order Junior other members on doubl stranded DNA and single stranded RNA the topic sounds complex right but it was interesting to observe the level of interest of the children as they were engrossed and captivated by the illustrations of the human genes unconsciously there was this instinctive drive to Noel perhaps if the lecture had been on the formula of gravity I wonder if there would be the same level of Interest not long ago we received a survey from ground Lodge inquiring about the reason We join the

order what was your reason for joining the order perhaps to se greater knowledge to be better versions of ourselves for networking or for Community each of these answers are reflective of our inate drive to know self and be of service to others why experience matter to further illustrate why experiences matter let us remember the purpose of the soul the soul is here to discover self and does so through experiences all experiences including the painful ones are learning experiences are learning opportunities researchers have shown that when we learn something new there are changes that Ur in the brain such as

the formation of new neuronal Connections in the brain a research article from the enyclopedia of forensic science 2013 edition talks about the develop the developmental changes that c with with the brain um during age during aging uh at bet the infect brain weighs about 300 33 gram and at 2 years old the brain Tripes in size and weighs about 999 gram at age 20 the average weight of the brain is about 1,400 gram and at age 65 years old there is brain uh we begin to see changes in the brain the brain begins to atrophy and the average weight is about

1,300 gram by 90 years old there is a total loss of brain weight uh up to 15% the fastest growth occurs during the first three years of life so that by the age of five years old the infant's brain weighs about 90% of the adult value despite the decline in brain volume that URS with aging we still can Lear and still have learning and still have experiences reflective of this innate learning ability we all have again reinforcing the fact that learning is innate in all of us and through learning we achieve discovery of s so let's put this all together so far we have seen that we all

have this innate drive to learn and discover self and the environment which is consistent with our Soul's purpose and that experiences will occur as long as we are on this Earthly plane for it is true experience we discover self how does this all relate to the inner voice of intuition one way our soul communicates to us is true intuition it is true intuition we make the right decisions that benefit all we know the right thing to do at a given time we know the time before glancing at a clock we know the identity of a person who sensors meil or who telephones us before opening the mail or answering the phone it is true intuition we know whether doing or not doing a certain thing is

right in our res Christian Studies intuition is defined is or is described as a faculty of our soul the inner self by definition it corresponds to an instantaneous and temporary communion with Cosmic Consciousness intuition are Impressions be thoughts images that come to us spontaneously we all have intuitive abilities some more developed in others it is like going to the gym the more we work out the more toned our muscles will be similarly the more we use our intuition the more developed it will be the more we act on our intuition the

more we are given and the more we are blessed this is because acting on our intuition is the service to our soul and hence Humanity let me share an intuitive experience I had a few days ago as part of my regular routine I enter into a period of silence for a few days and at this time I'm I'm Al available from the corner of my eyes I saw my phone flashing and instantly I knew it was a distress call so I came out of my silence and took the call it was a friend who was Ill he had done everything he was supposed to do he had been to the doctors and was receiving treatment for the illness he had also been in touch with his doctor earlier that

day everything appears to be in order I suggested an urgent need to go to the ER where he was found to be very ill he was admitted and treated and now feeling much better I was very happy that I followed my intuition this time which is not always the case the moral of the story is that when we act on our intuition we can be of Greater service to others other ways we use our intuition for service is in forgiveness practices dreams problem solving connecting and understanding others and so forth let's look at how we can connect to Nature through our intuition we can carry out simple

exercises we can carry out this simple exercise the next time we are in nature start by uh start by attuning with nature or becoming one with it for non-members we ATT tune through meditation this entails closing our eyes relaxing the body imagining ourselves becoming one with nature and then remaining receptive with any Impressions such as thoughts images ideas visions that we made receive while we are receptive we do not try to create any impression or expect an impression to come in a particular way or form such as a thought flash or voice we remain completely passive to

allow the flow the free flow of Consciousness and then we note any Impressions we may receive through intuition we can get insight about a person or a situation an example is when we go to bed and wake up with a clear message for someone or when we speak to someone over the phone and know that they are not listening even though we can't see them it is because we are all interconnected and we are all one that we are able to intuitively connect to others and nature if we want to be intuitive about anything let establish a sense of

Oneness with that thing it could be we want to find out something about a job or someone or about nature when we put ourself in the other person's shoes it triggers intuitive understanding imagination and intuition work together through imagination we can intuitively perceive things that our five senses cannot do it is true imagination we Hess the powers of of our intuition so for daily practice we can imagine what it will be like being in other person's shoes experience the feeling of being in the other person's shoes some difficulties we face with

using our intuition in include lack of belief in our intuitive abilities expectation of a specific outcome we feel intuition should appear in a certain way inability to quiet the mind we are emotional sometimes we're emotionally upset and can't meditate and sometimes we're too busy a helpful practice to transcend these difficulties is to let go and surrounder to a higher process let go of the material conditions and let the spiritual self be the guide we will find that the material condition will take its place once the spiritual self becomes the guide we all have mental patterns of

thinking Some of which teach Mak us very reactive as per our teachings most of the problems and hardships confronting Humanity arise because a large number of people act more under the impulse of the ego than under the influence of the Soul if we could only pause and truly listen to our higher self the outcomes will be different by pausing and listening to self we are able to change the mental patterns of thinking that make us react to that of love when we are one with love we harness the Limitless power of our intuition I will now end this

presentation with is saying from Neil Donna wash what will love do now when we struggle with making a decision and not knowing which way to go simply ask ourselves what will love do now by putting ourselves in the shoes of love we trigger an intuitive understanding and we will be led to doing the right thing brothers and sers let us now proceed to a brief period of meditation sit relax with hands on your laps and claps close your eyes take in several deep neutral

breath as you do so bring your awareness to the present moment bring your awareness to the sensation in your lower legs feel the sensation traving up your lower legs to your knees feel the sensation traveling up from your knees to your thighs up your hips your lower

back and abdomen your hands your upper back and neck going up from your chest to the front part of your neck to your face to the top of your head now bring your awareness to the mdle of your head draw an imaginary line

from your right ear to your left ear and from the front of your head to the back of your head and at the intersection of this midline put your attention there this is where your pineal gland lies bring your attention to your pineal gland now think about an area in your life that you would like guidance or [Music] Clarity and form a question

ask for the answer to be revealed to you and be open to any impression you may receive just observe what comes to you without overthinking it or without judging when you're ready you may open your eyes asaurus this brings us to the end of our

presentation thank you for attending and peace for f
