The Beginning
“When one shall whisper.. one shall learn..”
“A whisper, can be more effective than a roar to convey our thoughts or feelings”
As soulful beings, it is natural that we unconsciously lean in toward softness. Sound, which for many is the most common method of communication is no different. Moving closer to, or paying greater attention enables us to gain understanding of what someone may be trying to communicate to us, and by doing so we may hear the quietest of messages ever so clearly.
Whether through human interaction or translations, our feathered and furry friends or the essence of Mother Nature, a gentle sound or message can be both powerful, yet soothing at the same time.
In contrast, as soulful beings with intuition and natural instincts we will more often than not step back, move away or even cower from a shouting tyrant, sudden or obtrusive noise. Whilst such noise may startle, grab our attention in the moment or create a sense of fear or discomfort, as we try to escape it the message is frequently ignored, disregarded or lost.
As a recipient of loud or confrontational communication it is common and instinctual for one to auto attune into a flight, fight, freeze or fawn response. The unconscious and immediate priority and focus is the ability to withdraw, escape, or if necessary retaliate rather than to observe listen, and learn.
“When one shall whisper.. one shall learn..”
It is in the quiet moments of reflection that we often whisper to ourselves and coherently hear and comprehend what it is we are saying. It is that thought we say under our breath, or perhaps it is our god, source or spirit guides (depending on your beliefs) sending a clear and audible message of ‘finally, you got it’ and our mind saying ‘that all makes sense now’.
It is the times where we come to the realisation of ‘it didn’t happen to me, it happened for me’ as our paths to our innate purpose become clear and we find acceptance in what was, and now is.
I’m a believer that every occurrence in this journey we embark upon as humans whilst exploring life on this earth is leading us towards our chosen destination. I find solace in believing that along the way, we find many roads and paths, some of which may cause pain and suffering, others that renew hope and joy.
As we travel such paths and take new routes or direction during our existence here on earth, through trial and tribulation we continue to search for, and eventually find the source of truth, love and happiness.
For the awakened or wise souls, the source and that place of peace tends to be found soon after destruction.
As we lose our expectations and sense of entitlement, cease the blame we place on others and recognise self destruction patterns, we can find gratitude in all that we have experienced.
Contemplation on what we have learned, who has touched our lives, and more importantly those whom’s lives we have touched upon at a soul level to make a genuine difference can often reveal great lessons and wisdom.
With knowledge that we are wise, we can provide thoughts, words of guidance or education that can be passed on to guide future generations. Wisdom that can enhance another’s journey, and perhaps even a desire and capability to change more lives in ways one could never possibly imagine.
Through experiences of pain and suffering, we may choose to become an understanding and empathic support to those who next are following our path, or help one divert at a critical time to embark upon a different route than what was to be laid ahead of them.
We can change the trajectory, place a detour sign warning for potential danger in roads ahead and help others as they navigate life.
Through reflection, finding appreciation and gratitude for what we have achieved and experienced can allow fulfilment, acceptance and peace within. We can, also pay that peace forward.
When we whisper to ourselves, in those quiet moments it’s often from a place of calm, realisation or relief. It’s a moment that we have accepted the present, found forgiveness from past and are ready to move on.
Imagine then, if we applied this consciously in our communication with others when trying to convey a message. Whether it be hope or understanding, toward one another or as a recipient, how powerful a whisper could be.
When one shall whisper.. one shall learn.
A Softly spoken message is gentle, yet intentional and easily heard and accepted by many. In contrast, the loud, abrasive or tumultuous message is often rejected and adopted by few. Which, would you choose?
Your thoughts and words totally resonated with me… Looking forward to your future publications Rebecca!!!
Like I said the other day, who would’ve thought a young lady from the tiny town of Sunbury could write such things, so deep and thoughtful. Congrats on your first publication, obviously plenty more to come.
