Subtle Nuances
“The smallest feeling is greater than the greatest thought.” This is something I’ve told my practitioner students for many years. It has to do with the subtle nuances of our spiritual nature, speaking to our intuition in whispers.
In today’s technological world, we are immersed and inured in a cacophony of external stimuli, overloading our five-sense perceptions with information and outer awareness materially.
But there is so much more to you than the material nature. We are spiritual beings also having a physical existence but become so hypnotized by our outer world that we often do not “hear” the nuanced intuitive feelings.
We live, seamlessly, with all creation and are always in touch with our inner nature. That seamlessness is like looking at your arm and trying to spot a difference from one part or your arm to another. There is no separation, only a continuum. It is a whole system; this total universe and you are a part of all that is.
That your intuition is working, is a given. But for many that intuition is not cultivated, and perhaps we are waiting for some bright lights or loud sound to catch our spiritual attention. But when you quiet your mind, become inwardly receptive, a whole new world opens to you, beyond your thoughts.
This is the value of spiritual practices like meditation, prayer, yoga philosophy and other methods of tuning in to a nuance that is there all the time. Like a radio signal, it is always there, but you must tune in and “listen” with your heart, carefully. The more you are quiet, the more you will hear!
When you pause, breathe and feel with your intuition, another world is revealed to you in that whisper. Trusting in the beautiful truth of your spiritual nature reveals a more flowing, inner-directed and compelling way to live your life and offers many more options in how to respond to life’s exigencies.
