Maximum Optimism

In order to obtain self awareness one has to enter a process of change. One must look within for answers to life adjusting questions. For we as humans need to recognize and embrace the voice of awareness that is built into all human consciousness. We know that god has blessed the human species with the ability to reason. Once you allow reason to guide your thought process you enter a new level of awareness that comes with a voice that speaks to the individual. The first question one may ask when speaking of the voice of awareness is where does this voice come from? Moreover, how does it communicate with the person? Taking the first part of this question I see two possible answers, 1- physiological or 2- emotional. In exploring the possible physiological answer one may ask, does this voice speak through the conscious or subconscious mind? When looking at the second half of this question one may ask, which of the many fiscal of emotions does this voice use to communicate? I believe that this voice of awareness is subconsciously based that uses the conscious emotions of guilt and anger as a vehicle to communicate with the person. The link of communication between the voice of awareness and the person is accomplished in an adverse manner. Learning to understand the language used by the voice of awareness can be a life long process. It is my contention that all humans know when the voice of awareness is speaking; the goal is to learn to listen. I believe that when the voice of awareness speaks to us through the use of quilt it causes emotional instability, physical illness, sleeplessness, and mental disorders.

Emotional instability includes such things as depression, sleeplessness, isolationism, loneliness and empathy. Physical illness includes ulcers, migraines, high blood pressure and back pain. Mental disorder includes phobia, and neurosis.

When the voice of awareness speaks through the use of anger we have a more volatile situation which could lead to socially destructive behavior. Anger is an emotion that is the most misunderstood emotion of all. Anger is useful in relieving the person of stress that may manifest itself into other mental, emotional or physical conditions. Anger in itself is not and has never been a negative emotion. Anger like all emotions brings about behavior. This behavior is what the voice of awareness uses to communicate with the person. Reasoning is gods gift to the human species, to say that the voice of awareness do not communicate in pleasurable ways is correct. But pleasure can be achieved by freeing the self of guilt and controlling ones behavior when angered. Gaining power over ones behavior puts the person squarely in control of ones destiny. This freedom, itself, brings a deep pleasure within.

As one goes though this process of change one gains the ability to and is willing to listen to their internal awareness speak to the consciousness. It is like an awakening of a pattern of thought that one was not aware of before. One can began to put life’s events and the people that share those events into perspectives learned from listen to the voice of awareness of self. Making the transition from one stage of life to another one can only hope that the voice of awareness will become clearer.
