The Importance of Listening Deeply

Some of it's my brain, but some of it'sMy gut bacteria. It's not just a mechanized process happening from the neurons in my brain. I think this is what meditation could be and contemplation maybe is a better word for it. We need that deeper guidance and we may learn to trust that we can refer to something within our hearts. This is what we would call faith. Faith is knowing we live in a spiritual reality and learning to invoke it, trust it, be guided by it after we clear away some egoistic distortions.
