Can...Is there a single voice of the conscious self? Can't we hear too many voices always? Even the creative individual, entirely self-aware, wades (drowns?), I think, in some tangled crowd of voices.<br /><br />But is the God-voice distinct? Don't we want to hear Him as an external voice, not our own? The objective Good and Just.<br /><br />This voice does not co-exist with our own, cannot, I think. And maybe the directive to be conscious of God is, I thought in light of your question, meant to instruct us toward humility, to compel us to recognize that the God-consciousness we know is a voice within us and not a voice that echoes from heaven. (I wonder, though, what a prophet might say. I think, for a prophet, it must be very difficult to write.)c.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314914268727443114.post-62347016149578947462011-05-26T10:56:39.850-04:002011-05-26T10:56:39.850-04:00In the words of Bobby McFerrin:
