SPEAKING OUT, by Gail Gupton
A number of years ago, my (now late) husband, Bob, and I saw a movie where the main character had to call out a name for an action to take effect. At that time, it reminded me of some healing testimonials I had read years before, where different people called out for the Truth to be known. Of course, we know that the Truth is heard in the still small voice, which often thunders in the silence within. But saying something out loud often solidifies the context, and in the case of the healings I read about, they did occur, else it would not have been published.

Many times we hear others, or even hear ourselves, blundering out some negative in relation to our human environment or circumstance. It seems to make the situation more real. But the opposite is also effective. This happened to me recently when an event I had planned fell through. In the confines of solitude, however, a realization that I had gone against a spiritual principle stood out to me like a blazing sun. I called the person involved and spoke out verbally, and in Truth, explaining that I had violated a principle and it was not another third-party person who had "erred".

Then, my spiritual contemplations led me to listen to a tape of Joel Goldsmith. In the listening it dawned on me that he, too, was saying a meditation out loud. It was not just received by those hearing it, but it was received by himself, as he spoke. "Speaking out loud" causes one to remember more so than simply silently reading words or keeping thoughts and ideas to themselves. Why do preachers preach?

Many years ago I read the whole book, Thunder of Silence, out loud and onto cassette tapes. I did this, not to transcribe the book, but rather to listen to my "self" and it made a huge difference in understanding the message in the book.

When God speaks to us, from within, God is speaking out loud to us. We hear His voice. You have heard it. I have heard it. Many people visiting Beyond Prayer and Meditation have commented that they have heard a voice speak to them so audibly that it shook their insides.

God speaks to us out loud, but we often don't hear because we have "closed our ears" to receiving the Truth. Does a bird keep his song within? Does the bird sing to benefit us? Or, does the bird sing because it can and because not singing would be a violation of its being?

Speak. Speak the Truth. Speak out loud what you know to be true about God. Remember, there is no truth about man or woman or problems or humanity. There is only truth about God. God is all there is.

Speak. Speak the Truth. And, if you know of nothing, then ask out loud for God to give you the words. Just for yourself.

Speak. Speak the Truth out loud while you're at home alone, or in the shower, or in the car. Speak the Truth of God's omnipotence, out loud.

Speak. Speak the Truth out loud to those who are ready to receive it. Don't keep it locked inside for fear of offending some friend or family. Times have changed since people shunned off those with spiritual food, for we live now in a society where spiritual growth and spiritual journeys in life is the norm and people are hungering and thirsting for refreshment from the woes of the human realm.

It has been said and told many times, by others, that writing brings out inspiration. How much more would speaking out loud bring? It is not for another's benefit as much as for our own.

Last month a fellow subscriber to this newsletter, and follower of Joel Goldsmith's message of "I and the Father are One", spoke to me about a tribute he had written. I found it to be very appropriate and have posted it on the web site. If you have an interest in The Infinite Way® work, you may like to read it by clicking here. And, reading it, or this newsletter, or any inspirational literature out loud may make a difference in your perception of what you read. Spiritual perception.

All is well.
