A Voice as Loud as I'm Willing to Listen

In the past few years, I've noticed that many people want others to tell them what to do. We seem to flock to those who are willing, even eager, to guide us through the maze of life. Perhaps it’s because if we’re doing what someone else tells us, then we can blame them if it doesn’t work out! (I’m only partly joking about that) Sometimes we are afraid to make decisions for ourselves because we don’t trust that we are informed enough to do so. At that point, we either throw up our hands and don’t do anything, or we ask someone else what they’re going to do so we can do it, too. Perhaps we don’t trust our own inner guidance because we have so often mistaken our busy little mind for the calm voice of the divine Mind. We are told in the textbook of A Course in Miracles that “His voice is as loud as I am willing to listen.” Let’s not expect a big, booming human voice to come down from above, but a still, small certainty in the deepness of ourselves, leading us as the expression of Life, Truth, and Love! Trust yourSelf! 

"Infinite Mind creates and governs all, from the mental molecule to infinity. This divine Principle of all expresses Science and art throughout creation, and the immortality of man and the universe." Mary Baker Eddy- Science & Health Page 507:24-28
