CoSMI - 1.0.1.06 - Authenticity - Know Yourself (part 2)
Psalm 139:1
You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.
As I say, not all of you will be afraid of this. But, some of you might find it very frightening. Why is it that you find the silence so frightening?
In fact, we do find silence frightening, very often. We are used to the constant noise distraction that the world throws at us. The police understand that silence is frightening. This is why, when they questioning suspects, they sometimes simply sit in silence. They know that the silence is more terrifying than any threats that they can make, and they know that, if they wait in silence, then, in order to fill the silence, the suspects may start talking, and may say a lot more than they intended to.
But this is, perhaps, a little bit distant from your situation as an influencer in social media. So, why do you find silence so frightening?
Is it possibly because you are used to the world telling you who and what you are? Is it possible that you are used to the fact that the world is constantly whispering who you are, what you want, what you need, and all kinds of other information. And if that information is gone, even if it is disinformation, do you really exist? Maybe that is the frightening question or the frightening part of the question?
If so, we can address that problem. It isn't really a problem. If you sit and wait, and don't allow yourself to be frightened, you will start to feel who you are. You will start, I grant, very slowly, to feel what it is that you want, rather than what the world wants you to want. You will start to realize your own ideas, rather than the opinions that the world would like you to have. Don't let the initial fear terrify you. This will pass. Unplugged from the world, even if only for a little while, you will start to realize who you are. You will start to know yourself.
