Whispered Words - Part 2 - These Are Just For You

Yesterday, we started looking at a couple of lines from a song in terms of what consequences of the lyrics can be drawn. Today we start looking at one in particular - These voices, Truth and Fear, are just for you.

Now this part comes fairly clearly. The song states "They whisper words into my ears", not 'ears in general', not 'ears not mine', not even just 'they sit next to me and chat about things'. This is a private conversation that does not get overheard by anyone bar you (and presumably Fear and Truth). So why did this get mentioned if it's right there in front of us. It wasn't for the lazy trip into very basic logic, instead it was for the consequences of this. The consequence is fairly simple - It's you that has to follow up on what is told to you. You and no one else can make whatever decision follows.

Assumption 5 (and corollary c) state that Fear and Truth are available for any and every circumstance. If these hold then we can also say that in any and every circumstance there is something that can be told to you from either your fears or the impartial neutrality of Truth. If we then add that the information comes only to you, then It is up to you to make every decision that comes to you based on the foreseeable options and outcomes.

From this comes something else as well. A smart man will tell people what he knows, but an intelligent man will never reveal what he knows. You have a couple of things that have been revealed to you that may not have been revealed to others. It may be that all that you have extra is a fear, but that is something that no one else has and will give you an extra insight. If it happens that you do want assistance in the decision making process, then you have to decide how much of this added insight you may or may not have and how much you are willing to give out. There will be some times when you can gain an advantage from not revealing information. But there are other times when you will be disadvantaged by holding things back. Unfortunately I can't give you any rules that apply in all situations. The best that I can give you is to learn through observation, feel out the situation. Often, unless the person you ask looks at things in a very different way, asking them will provide you with no advantage anyway.

Back to the main point though. No one will get the exact same things given to them. Listening to the same voices in different ways will give you enough of a noticeable difference. I think it's also fair to say that everyone will get these voices in a similar capacity to you and the writer of the song. This means that everyone will be getting their own set of 'instructions' to do with as they will. But it's up to you which of your revelations will be revealed to any other parties.
And remember, if everyone else is getting similar styles of things, how many people are telling you about them.

Back again Tomorrow
