Catch And Drop The Compulsion To Talk Endlessly About Nothing

How much time and energy and breath would we save if we were aware of the part of us that wants to speak before it starts speaking? Much of the talking that we do is brought about by an unconscious nature that compels us to speak so that it can experience more of itself. By observing ourselves we can catch the anxious part of us that demands we say something in order to relieve the pressure. But giving in to that nature only increases the pressure and the anxiety.

Do you ever know why you start talking?

No.

Think about it.

Yada yada yada,

Yada yada,

Oh so interesting,

Gee I wish that wasn't there,

And you never know what starts talking.

Something intense doesn't it?

To engage,

To produce that sensation,

That conversation,

Doesn't it?

Yes or no?

Because I'm always doing it.

Gee I wonder what wants to say that?

Then you can begin to taste a very sweet kind of silence because you won't enact the will of that yammering nature that just wants to experience something about itself again.

Think about it.

If it just even hits you a little bit,

All over the world,

A gazillion,

Trillion conversations unfolding all at once and no one started it.

I'm not saying this should be your intention,

It's a little too sophisticated,

But what if my intention was to always know what's going to start talking before and lend it my mouth?

And that I won't speak unless I know the nature speaking.

I won't give someone a taste of myself without having tasted it first.

How long do you think that would last?

And don't you think you would start to see some pretty stunning things?

And then if I didn't actually engage the mouth at the behest of the will or the reaction that wants to start it,

Then I'd actually start to see the pain responsible for producing that conversation,

Wouldn't I?

Wouldn't I?

See that's where persistence has to come in.

I have to persist with engaging this moment and understanding that part of the purpose of it is this conscious suffering,

Born out of a lower nature being revealed to itself by a higher nature and then choosing in favor of the intention of seeing instead of protecting myself,

Proving myself.

So much.

And all you need is just to start.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

That's what this nature loves to do.

Because then it can quit when it sees it can't do it.

Reviews

I understand the importance of not gossiping and to not go around unconsciously talking.
I have had many times realised that by being "silly" or joking about things with people has been a way to cope for me . I'm not quite sure I resonated with this talk .🙏🏻

Very interesting I wanna stay in my friend. Have a beautiful day.

Yes! Don't let it use my mouth, my voice. Say shhhhh don't speak. (It is a big problem.)

This spoke volumes, and was worth every second times ten. It couldn’t have come at a better time for me- while social distancing/quarantined and spending more time than usual with my loved ones. The perfect time to be reminded to keep my mouth shut, until I know the nature that’s speaking. Thank you.

Good stuff...funny, truthful, purposeful, insightful, and inspirational all in one small timeslot. Cool beans...thanks so much 💕
