How many of us believe we have no agency, no voice? Now that is an ego that needs to crack. If we have no voice, then we have no responsibility for anything. Often, people keep their mouths shut so they never have to change their minds. They avoid, and because they tell themselves they have no agency they can hide and then blame others. Then there are the people with a sure, sincere voice. They think they are coming from God, so they believe they have a mandate. But this voice is so tainted with the small self that even when they believe that they are doing good, they are uplifting themselves by using others.
What about the person who listens so well to everyone else and never to herself? That person has to turn in, use the skills she already has, and listen inward to the voice she has always possessed.
There is a voice that says, “I have no voice. I need to find my voice.” Whose voice is saying that? Whose voice is even asking this? It is a game of hide-and-seek: we play the character of one who has no voice, and we have to go searching. What happens, then, when we decide we have found our voice? What voice is this? If we have been pathetic victims, we may go forth as horrible tyrants bullying everyone, thinking we are now authentic. No. This is not your voice, just as the pathetic voice was not you. Both are from the small self. The tyrant was the voice you never listened to, so when it came forth you thought this is ME. Wrong. It is just the other side of the coin. So your true voice would not be any of these:
Tyrant/Bully Humble/Serving the situation
Standing up for self Pathetic victim/Doormat
Who you are is beyond all qualities. We have to go beyond all thought deep into the Heart to hear our real voice, which will be and therefore will act for the good of All. There is no calculating; we are then appropriate for All. The individual disappears and we emerge to relate with the world expressing the Love that was always there.
So to find our voice we must give up the words with which we have so identified. There has never been a time when we had no agency. That is the delusion our small self banks on to maintain itself. So we create a voice that questions all voices and believe that, and then we create at the same time a voice that is emphatic and never subject to question. We then oscillate between the two, both voices being sure of their rightness when neither is our voice.
We always have agency, and we are accountable for the actions and decisions of the small self. Not until we crack, not until we jump off the grid, do we have a chance to really hear our Real voice and manifest from there. In order to hear your voice, you must shut up. Now!
