Hi,
Hope I'm in the right channel to post this question.
Guess everyone face the chattering monkey when doing meditation. I've read about many talking about their higher self talking to them while in meditation. How does one tell whether it's the mind (ego) talking or the higher self is?
During my meditation there comes a time when I'll start talking to myself mentally. The funny thing though is that it's not telling me things like I'm wasting time doing nothing, there's work to do, gotta work to earn money and so on. What goes on inside me or my mind are things like you're a diving being, you're special, you have the ability to manifest, I mean, yeah they sounds like you're hearing only good things as if somebody is trying to bootlick you. But that is what goes through my mind during meditation, that voice ugh!
Many experienced meditators have shared that the voice inside their head is always trying to get them off doing meditation, but mine seems to be keeping me from getting out of it. I constantly use the 'Om' or 'Ah' chant (Wayne Dyer) to keep my mind in a blank, but once I experience silence, the voice would come.
I'm actually not sure about how our higher self/consciousness communicates with us, reading around I seem to be point to the direction of...
1)Hearing voices such as somebody beside you talking to you?
2)Through the heart, you feel bliss and joy (I get the bliss and joy when I do my chant and the mind is in a blank)
3)See visions?
Because no one has spoken about hearing your own mind talk to you nicely, thus I'm sort of lost as to whether is my higher self reaching out to me or the chatterbox ego is playing tricks?
Thanks for reading.  |

Sorry, the correct thing is that the voice in my head has 2 forms,
1)The monkey trying to get me off track, telling me things like "where shall we go later" "isn't that girl we met beautiful" etc
2)Then there comes a period of silence before the next voice would tell me things like "you're divine" "you have powerful abilities" etc.
To simplify my question,
The voice inside your head(?) even when it's saying nice things to keep you happy and on, is that just a chattering brain or is it the higher self speaking to me? |

Hi Triple3, it could be your spirit guides talking to you.
To test whether the voice is coming from yourself, do this:
First call the entity to your presence. Then in your mind tell whatever entity communicating with you to say, "(your name), I love you." Then count slowly 1.. to 5.
If you hear "1, I, 2, love, 3, you, 4 etc" then it is your mind. However if you here the message AT THE SAME TIME you're counting, then there's a chance it's not from you.
Hope this helps.

i've had my mind, my human ego speak good things to myself, while also speaking to my Spirit Consciousness. Most of the time, it is silent and communion, i have been thru the need to talk, i'm happy to rejoince with my high-self.
If you hear the voice, it can be your own Spirit, higher-self. Sometimes, the human ego does not reject but participates with the meditation, and this is also good.
When Spirit speaks, your perception is altered and the concept of dimension, space and time are blanked out. If you remain totaly conscious of your physical reality when you hear the voices, you are either a conscious transcendant (like in 10 years of daily experience), or it's a part of your human self happily participating, or it is your spirit talking to you and you are aware enough to listen even while not transcending.
You see, many ways this can be, and only experience can really guide you to the truth. You'll probably get more answers when you stop mentally asking those questions. |
