We all have different voices seated at the table of our mind.
Some have executive power– they call most the shots, others? We barely hear.
Most of “Change” happens when we develop a relationship with those other voices, like the better one– who tells you what you need not want– the older sibling voice.
But the danger in listening to any voice is you open the door to hearing what sings to you. This song is your locked away desires, fantasies, delusions, and you’ll WANT to believe it– but where does that song take you?
Sirens.
Sirens sing to take you off course. To destroy you. These are your traps, where you get swept away in the sea of bullshit imagination, where you lose a lifetime running in the same spot.
This is how people get STUCK in their heads and go insane.
Don’t think having a strong compulsion to act makes the voice you’re hearing honest. It’s the Sirens who will stir the strongest emotions in you– after all, they know your deepest desires.
The only way to get free of them, out the mind and into living life, is to listen for a different voice. This one won’t excite you, but you’ll remember it as a compass. It knows what’s best for you.
Oftentimes it rises during or after crisis, but you can hear at any time. How? Start talking to it by getting real. Stop hiding.
