Logical mind speech, can we do better? Spirit Symbols

Logical mind and speech, can we do better?

You start to talk when you're very young, and don't much notice how you yak. If you do some "looking" at your inner process of putting your words together and then speaking them, you may be surprised as how much goes into this process, that is so automatic, that we never notice it. Once in a while you may pause to consider what to say next. But rarely do I ever become aware of how I pick and paste together all the words that pour out of my mouth. As I noticed it a little, it seems that most of the pieces pop out of a storage recorder, with phrases like "Once in a while" and "What to say next". I could not seem to find much, when I tried to get some view or feel for the "original meaning factory" that makes the subject, for the phrase picker to choose the words for. But I did get that the whole conversion, to words and speech, was a less than successful effort to convey the original meaning. The words I would babble would usually "feel right" but would be just a fraction of the original meaning I was trying to speak of. If you feel like it, you might try and take a subject (base meaning) and see if you can use different words to convey it. Like change - "Go to the table and bring me the pencil" - to - "Get near the table and pick up that wooden stick that you write with, and place it in my hand.". And then try and reel back your speech process to the original "base meaning", before the words were selected. You could try to get attentive and see if you can factor where the "base meaning" comes from. I know on a deeper level the idea or feeling I want to share, and the words and speech are my method to try and do this.

Although sharing by talking is very popular for people who conveniently live in Air, so the words can get back and forth. But is it as popular for spiritual pursuits, where there may not be any Air. I like to think that if you're are a spiritual seeker, that the Spirit is not as dumb as people, and to use words and speech would be less than ideal (there's no air anyway, although you might use texting-LOL). Maybe, there's a more better way to share a "base meaning" than converting it to words? If you're trying to get something from a spiritual source (your soul, prayer, your higher self, meditation, inner small voice, angel guide, silent knowledge, no-mind, sub-conscious, right-brain), you might consider that you may be lookin for something like "human" words and language, and getting something in spiritual-language, like symbols or feelings that are closer to the "base meaning". Even if you can pick up on these, like many Tarot or I-Ching users have found, the "meaning" for you may be as clear as mud. Could be, you're trying to use these in a "Human" logical way, again as in using speech. But just as you have learned how to hear voice accents and pauses, or read body language to get a truer meaning from conversation. You might try and open your awareness to your own inner "meaning translator" and let it be more flexible and use more things (ideas, feelings) that fall from the sky, instead of the "If A and B then C" logical translation. Please take heart, that from struggling with it's various symbols, code, and possible meanings, your reward may be more like "Wisdom" instead of "Logical Knowledge". (as example) Like the wisdom to know that you are suppose to seek the smell of coffee, without knowing what experience 'following your nose' will give you, or connections it may generate. As long as you are open about the "base meaning" from spirit, you may be more attentive and willing to change course as more stuff comes your way (in life, or in spirit symbols). I feel that essence information is more of a direction indicator, if you think you are getting "Logical" information from spirit like - "I have three higher selves, small, medium, and super size." - it may be your human mind placing it's own "language storage recorder" phrases to the info, don't take this to mean your info is not correct for you, but may not apply for someone else (that has only 2 and a half higher selves, poor guy).

Please try and pay attention, be aware, look-listen-feel your inner places and your senses, allow your ultimate decider to be your heart and what you experience. You may find that you are not destined to be just the repetition, but an original light source. Hopefully you will not need to learn and analyze everything, it may be that it is not something to be understood or explained, just be aware of and responsive to rise and touch spirit.

I remember in highschool when I first became aware of the complexity of my thought processes.  I began to notice how one thought led to another continuously, and I realized that normally I was unaware of the original thought that it began with.  So, I'd follow one thought backwards to the thought that inspired it, but then that led to another thought and another thought.  It was odd to see how far removed my conscious thinking was from its original source.  It was an amazing insight at the time.  Of course, I now am much more conscious of my thought processes, but it still amazes me to contemplate it.  There is no such thing as a simple thought.
