Reply to Antje's comment under oil cleansing

Antje posted a comment below, under my post, "oil cleansing" and I tried to post a comment, but it was too long to be accepted, so I am writing it here, as a post.

Dear Antje,
I am sorry about the tinnitus and happy to hear you are using even that to learn and grow. There is much understanding in what you have written in your comment.

The angels tell us that when we are under stress, the body breaks down at its weakest point. This is one reason people are prone to certain illnesses as they get older. Because the body has more years of stress, noise, pollution, wrong living and thinking.

You are on a healing journey. We all are. Because we are all sick with the greatest illness--the disease of ego. All the illnesses of our body are small compared to this!

The angels appreciate that you have been using this situation to deepen your spiritual understanding, to ask yourself right questions about what is happening, instead of just accepting whatever your mind happens to tell you. This is a perfect example of how to use the teachings of your school.

What you wrote here shows that you are reading your lessons and practicing your homework. You write:

"So, at first I had to find out what is self-made stress and what is just life. And I found out that a lot was self-made, much more than I thought before.

And since this experience in August I play this game: "Can I change my behavior or my way of thinking or is it simply what it is?"

The next step was, that I found out that even when I thought that it is just life, it must not mean that I have a permission to feel stressed. I often remembered our sentence: "Just notice!"

It is always my decision to be stressed or not, and there is so much to learn everyday, every talk, always."

Antje, I appreciate so much you sharing your words, as it is always helpful to other students. What you came to understand is what angels would say: "You do NOT have permission to cause yourself stress. You do not have permission to react to the events of life with stress. You do not have permission to hurt yourself in anyway!"

Just as you wrote, Antje: "After a while, when I talked to my sound in my head, appeared a sentence, like: "Don't make so much stress!" But not only "don't do it", it was more like "You are not allowed to produce your own stress," or better  "You should live your life in a better way than being stressed."

Our true voice never ever leads us into feeling stressed, bad, foolish, impulsive. You are clearly rising higher Antje, able to listen beyond the noise in your head, able to connect with angelic voices. Angelic voices are always speaking to us. Most people are not aware that they have all kinds of discordant sounds in their head--the voices of ego! Ego has many voices. Ego speaks to us with the voice of the past and the fear of the future. All the voices of all the people we have known also speak to us in memory. Because of this, we do not live from our authentic nature, which is peace.

As we grow spiritually, we often do not experience more silence and peace, at least not at first. This is because as we become more aware, we become more aware of the voices in our head. This does not mean we are becoming crazier, even though it may feel like it. It means we are becoming more sane, able to hear the many voices of ego that have always been there.

As the angels say, "What you are not aware of controls you. As you become aware of something, it begins to lose control over you." As we become aware of the voices in our head, we have the possibility to become free from them. We do not even realize the number of unconscious thoughts that are directing and controlling our lives in unhappy ways.

The body can break down, no matter how well we take care of it. This is part of life on earth. Then we do what we can to heal--we begin a healing journey. This is natural. What is unnatural is to listen to voices of ego blaming, shaming, making us feel like a victim of life, causing anger and pain to arise. This only makes any illness worse. The ego can and will use the tinnitus to make you feel bad about yourself, if you let it. That's just the way the ego is. This only makes any physical problem worse.

Even when the body is healthy, the mind is not. The voices (thoughts) clamor for attention constantly. The voices of ego try to make us feel stressed, bad, and unhappy. Everyone has tinnitus of the ego.

It is a great challenge to rise above a physical illness of any kind and hear the higher voice of Truth. Yet this is the opportunity that a physical challenge can offer us. Go with love, Antje. Continue to listen to the only sound that really matters: the voice of higher wisdom and of angelic voices. Tell all negative voices that they have no right to exist!
