Today just about everyone has a cell phone.  Or a computer.  It gives the illusion everyone’s connected.  And true communication is occurring.  It is just that–an illusion.  Communication is nine tenths non verbal.  True communication is face to face.  Deception today is all too easy.  Anyone can text via cell phone. Or E Mail.  Any where you go it appears people’s ears are attached permanently to their cell phones.  It is far harder to talk to someone in person.  You miss too much if you insist just on using your cell phone or E Mail.  It is just one kind of communication.  And it is very flawed and incomplete so never forget that.  And far too easy to deceive another.

Are you listening to your muse?  Only you know for sure.  I can not tell you.  Different people call it by different names:  your intuition, your “third ear” (Theodore Reich), subconscious.  There are so many different names out there for that.

I find it interesting that communication is nine tenths non-verbal according to some psychologists and we place such emphasis on the rational mind.  There are some signs when you are not listening to your Muse.  Constant unrest in your life might indicate you are not.

Your conscience is another word for your Muse.  It is the tiny voice inside you that if you ignore all the time will not go away completely causing internal unrest.

A sense of well being, peace may indicate you are on the right track.  Only you can truly know what your Muse is telling you to do.  Sometimes it does not make sense and requires a leap of faith.  And you might know only later you have followed your Muse correctly.

The world is full of people who are quick to tell you what to do and you have to pick your friends carefully or they might too easily lead you astray.  Following your muse can be a lonely path.

These are just some indications whether you truly have followed your Muse and again only you can know and can listen to that tiny voice only you can hear.  I hope these words can encourage you.
