We usually choose to listen to the mind, as we have been doing so all our lives and beyond... to the shrill and deafening noise of the ego that incites us to judge, criticize, and compare everything around us, and also ourselves, due to unconscious guilt. It is a tiresome and boring noise that leads us to suffering.
We also have the option of listening to the whispering, melodious voice of the Holy Spirit, or our Being, which helps us reinterpret circumstances as requests for Love, which is what they really are. Or our deepest fears as something illusory that is part of the movie of conflict and death that we have created, directed, and starred in, since nothing can alter our original essence, which is pure, infinite, and eternal Love.
And the question we ask ourselves is: how can I know who is speaking to me: the ego or my Being?
The ego is very clever and slips through the smallest cracks to disguise itself as our true advisor. We must be very attentive. A Course in Miracles devotes more than 1,000 pages to discovering and unmasking the ego's strategy that leads us to the state of despair and confusion in which we find ourselves.
Depending on the substance of the message conveyed, we can detect whether the voice we hear comes from our Being or not. If it comes from the Being, it is a loving message of Unity, without judgment or comparison, with which we will feel more at peace.
Choosing the voice we want to follow is our only freedom.
