Inner Voice of the Source- The Inner Temple

Written by Mathew Naismith

I don’t think a lot of people are going to resonate with this post either, we should try to remember we are all on different paths but on the same journey, it all comes out in the wash, meaning, the destination and the outcome is the same no matter what path we follow.  

What’s more important or worthy, being human and wanting to become one with the source or being the source itself and just being human, in other words expressing the sources consciousness? This is not an easy question to answer even though it might seem easy and seemingly obvious.

Even though the human self (mind) is ignorant to it’s true nature, it’s never ever been anything but of this source, the inner temple, this means to the source  that the expression of it’s consciousness is worthy, not less or more but  just as worthy  as the source itself. For any human ignorant of their true nature this is going to sound lame, inconceivable, mainly because they are looking up at something that seems  more worthy, how can anything so worthy as the source be as worthy as we are, on the same level? The main point here is we have again made judgment and judgement upon ourselves that we are less worthy than the source itself when we are the source itself, we have never been anything but the source itself.  

At the human level of perception this is very hard to believe or perceive, this is mainly due to  self-judgement of ourselves and each other and looking up to a source that is supposed to be mightier than ourselves. This is where I feel religion has gone astray, instead of looking at ourselves as this source or Jesus or Buddha, we have judged ourselves inferior therefore idolised such sources when we are that source itself.  Jesus never wanted to be idolised as he knew.” I am you, as you are of me”, we are all of the source itself.

There is another point to make here, why would a source, the inner temple, create something that is supposed to be less worthy than itself; we are an example of this? The point is it wouldn’t unless it’s just as worthy.  All we have done is forgotten who we are, so because we are absent minded about our true nature this makes us less worthy?  

Just think of the human race as a children, we are ignorant to a lot of things until we are made aware of them through education and experiences, are our children any less worthy than adults because they are ignorant?  

When they say God the all mighty father, this isn’t to me far from the truth even though I’m not religious, the source itself is obviously more aware so we show respect like we would our own parents.

Look at it this way, this reality is the classroom and we are the children, however, instead of learning from our parents we are learning from each other, what do children unsupervised learn from each other?  To me this is exactly what we are all expressing; all the naughty little things and deeds that children will express unsupervised, to me this chaotic destructive existence is an expression of that, this is due to not listening to our parents, the source.  

Religion has tried to give us this connection with our inner temple, the source itself, basically our parent, to learn from, you can’t learn from an adult unless you have a connection with them.  Basically what happened was egotism; we built glorious monuments to this inner temple to reconnect ourselves with this inner temple, the source, instead of learning not to be egotistical we learnt quite the opposite. Our intentions were honourable but our own ignorance of who we are made us egotistical and judgemental. When we expressed egotism we created judgment and as soon as we created judgment from being so egoist, we in turn created chaos and destruction.  The human race reminds me of spoilt brats that aren’t properly supervised or taught a proper way to behave; they will cause chaos and at times destruction.

So why doesn’t the source, our parent the inner temple, supervise us better? Well actually it does, it’s just that we are that spoilt we just won’t listen. How many people in the world ignore the inner voice? This is the source our parent speaking. How many of us learnt from the teachings of educationalists (teachers) like Jesus and Buddha?  I could go on, the point is we are being guided but we are not listening.  I feel the source is very passive, it won’t forcefully guide us or chastise us but this source will allow us to learn the hard way if we are not listening. It seems quite strange to me that we have chosen the hard way to learn when we are constantly shown an easier way to learn.  

We don’t need to build monuments in respect for the inner temple; it already exists within the source itself without any expression of egotism.  Yes as children we should show respect, not by building flashy monuments but by listening to the sources voice, this is a true sign of respect. This new/old age spirituality, void of religious doctrines, is in away trying to rid itself of these monuments but in certain circumstances making the mind and body the monument when the mind and body is only a vessel, yes we should look after this vessel but not egotistically. This is falling into the same trap as religion did in my mind.

So getting back to the initial question, what’s more important or worthy, being human and wanting to become one with the source or being the source itself and just being human, in other words expressing the sources consciousness?

Since my mid-teens it’s always been all worthy, I was lucky enough to be appreciative of being expressive of the sources consciousness, however, I haven’t always listened the sources voice either as children don’t always listen to their parents.  Acting the brat however denotes a high level of egotism, we should be aware of our own brattish ways for a brat very rarely listens to their parents as we are not listening to the sources voice, the inner temple.
