Rosetta Stone

You probably know about the stone that was discovered in 1799 in Egypt which enabled an understanding of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs since the stone had an translation in ancient Greek as well.  I was thinking of the Rosetta Stone when I reflected on my spiritual progress. You have two voices in your head, the one that always speaks first and loudly and the quiet one that speaks second. All you really need to do is to connect once to that voice. It will be the same break-through for a spiritual path travelers as the find of the Rosetta Stone was for our linguists. After this break-through everything will finally settle in place. Once you have heard this eloquent and wise voice inside your head, it will get harder and harder for the loud one to fool you. 

The Course in Miracles advocates to do the opposite of what the ego wants, that is, the loud voice which speaks first in your head. You are literally running an experiment. The claim is that we live in a state of oneness, but we don't manage to perceive it since our filter, the ego, claims otherwise. Yet, if the outcome is a good one after you do the opposite of what the ego claims, the hypothesis gets strengthened that we indeed are all one. As Jesus says, 'By the fruit ye shall recognize them'. This can be a scary exercise until you see that it works, but what else cam you do as a devoted spiritual path traveler. Fear not, before you know it you will hold the Rosetta Stone in hand and then you have made it. You will hear the voice of reason always, and you will know that where oneness rules, happiness follows.
