Despite all consequence, there is an inevitable honoring of what is true, and at this deep level of inner voice, it is not a summoning of will, but a following of true knowing. My own life is a trail of such following. Time and again, I have heard deep callings that felt inevitable and which I could have ignored, but only at great risk of something essential perishing.
In "The Little Book of Awakening," Mark Nepo emphasizes the importance of honoring one's true self and inner voice, suggesting that such awareness is not an act of willpower but rather a natural inclination to pursue what is genuine. This understanding is rooted in deep personal experiences where he felt compelled to follow his instincts, highlighting the significance of listening to one's true calling despite potential consequences.
Nepo reflects on his life's journey, presenting it as a series of moments where he had the choice to heed these profound callings or ignore them. He argues that ignoring this inner truth could lead to the loss of something vital within oneself. Ultimately, the message revolves around the concept that fulfilling one's true purpose is essential for personal growth and authenticity.
