The Source of Speech.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
When we speak, what (or who) exactly is doing the speaking? It seems as though the human body alone could not talk without inspiration of Spirit, but the Spirit seems too good and nice to say some of the things that we do. If it were the ego, some of the things we say would seem too nice for it. Please clarify where our speech comes from on a metaphysical, not physical, level.
Response:
The process of speaking obviously is a voluntary action controlled by the neural signals from the brain. But intention to speak is born in consciousness and the nervous system and corresponding muscles are just carrying out the wish of the non-local awareness we call mind. This level of non-material functioning of consciousness is not necessarily fully awake yet, so it operates as conditioned ego and therefore doesn’t reflect the divine attributes you ascribe to Spirit which I would call our higher self. As awareness grows and we identify with our true self, our speech will also move toward a purer, truer expression of that inner reality.
