“What does it say to us?
“It wouldn’t say the same to me as it would to you.”
“How do you know? Or do you?”
“What does that mean?”
“When anything, or anyone, speaks to our inner knowing, we’re receiving a message, and we know it.”
“Can it be an important message?”
“It’s always more than important. It’s vital to our best interest and to our personal world.”
“That would create inner tension.”
“Yes.”
“Who wants inner tension?”
“It’s not a case of wanting.”‘”
“Then, needing?”
“Yes.”
“Why do we need inner stress?”
“There’s a difference between stress and tension.”
“In degrees?”
“In cause. The situation creates tension, and …”
“Ignoring the message of tension creates stress?”
“Yes.”
“So, if we feel stressed, it’s not directly caused by the situation?”
“Exactly. Too many people seem to attempt to cope with stress with medication, instead of meditating on its possible cause, alone or with a trusted and qualified teacher.”
“Are we talking about you and me?”
“Yes, and anyone else who cares to listen.”

A simple seeker’s note to herself
“Why didn’t I see that coming down the road?”
“What didn’t you see?”
“You were setting me up, again.”
“Yes.”
“I guess I do tend to let myself get stressed out, now and then.”
“Why?”
“Why?”
“Yes. You do have a choice, you know.”
“Between what?”
“Between feeling stressed and feeling the tension.”
“How can we know the difference?”
“It’s a matter of perspective.”
“Perspective?”
“Yes.”
“What difference in perspective?”
“The difference between awareness and …”
“Physical experience?”
“Yes.”
