Prisoners of the Voice
by Elva Thompson, Guest | Waking Times
“What, then, is the soul but a prisoner of your flesh? An undying yet constrained energy, bound and enslaved within a shuffling, steadily rotting suit of tissue and savage needs?” – David Wong
We Are All Prisoners of the Voice in the Mind
We are all prisoners of the voice in our minds, and slaves to our programmed emotions, traumas, fears, intellect, ambition and the ‘poor wronged little I’. Many people identify their ‘ego I’ as being the centre of their universe, and the ‘I am so and so’ and ‘I do this’ is who they are, lock, stock and barrel. The personality and its ‘whirled’ is the total sum of their awareness- the only thing that is real in terms of the five senses.
Constant Replay
I spends its days busy thinking about its hopes, dreams, chores, agendas and how they can be achieved. ‘I am’ revisits the past, dwells on grievances, betrayals and sleights which replay over and over again in the present along with all the feelings and sensations of the original event.
Most of us are in mind all the time, our thoughts are crowded with fear and expectation, we worry about tomorrow – what if we lose our job and what is going to happen to us and our loved ones in the future… and how will we die. Will it be quick – or slow and painful?
When we begin to observe our thoughts we realise that there are two opposite polarities operating in our consciousness, two separate minds: one with a divine connection to Source and the other connected to the reptile mind, the mind of the matrix machine – with all the variations in between. The reptile survival at all costs mind is the consciousness of the predator, the chatterer that distracts and distracts, and when the mind is quiet and connected, it tries to trigger our traumas and take control.
Who is Thinking?
Who or what is thinking? – who or what resurrects past grievances and disappointments that fan our pain and fill our hearts with misery? Who or what is the voice that dictates, argues and whines, decrees our social mores and puts us on constant replay?
