How does one learn to discriminate between the voice of the ego and the Voice of the Holy Spirit? Both voices always speak to everyone.

The voice of the ego can be seductively attractive and quite compelling in its logical arguments. There are no objective tests that can conclusively decide which voice is which; the Hand of God writes very, very small. Complicating the issue is that the Holy Spirit can at times request behavior that is illogical, apparently unethical, behavior that can even appear insane. What, then to do? Where and how does one learn the art of discrimination?

The only true counsel comes from complete consciousness of the Ascendant. But the ego can and does mimic the experience of the Ascendant in its life-and-death struggle with the Holy Spirit; until consciousness is complete, how can one be sure one is listening to the counsel of God and not of the ego?

One can check with other enlightened beings, of course, but unless one is enlightened, how would one ever know if the beings one consults are enlightened or not?

The knowingness of Truth must be cultured in every human. Then there can be no mistakes. Until that time, the tradition of the enlightened can be a great asset: if your actions or desires are in alignment with the tradition of complete consciousness, chances are very good that your actions and desires are in accordance with the Holy Spirit and not with the ego.

Who is a True Teacher?
Ye shall know them by their fruits...

The advice of True Teachers who represent the Holy Spirit leads to growth and healing, to expansion and creativity and love. By aligning desires with True Teachers, life unfolds in ever-greater waves of perfection and joy. There may be roughness on the path as the ego struggles to maintain its death-grip on the soul; these temporary clouds are always counterbalanced by expansion of love and ever-increasing depth of experience. And the struggle ends permanently once one realizes how to align perfectly with the Holy Spirit.

This explains the value of the Teachers of Ascension who have fully aligned themselves with the Ishaya. A True Teacher knows that he or she is a pipeline, nothing more; a True Teacher knows that the essence of the Teaching of Ascension is experience, not personality; a True Teacher knows that all True Teachings ultimately point the finger of understanding back at the seeker's own heart.

A True Teacher has perfectly learned the one purpose of human life, perhaps best stated by Albert Schweitzer:

"The only ones of those among you
who will be truly happy are those who
will have found the way to serve."

The life of every person is sacred. The revelation of that sacredness is often revealed by a person's contribution to humanity. In many cases, that contribution is only revealed after death. Maharishi Sadashiva Isham (MSI) was such an individual. MSI's life was punctuated by the desire to know. His search was not for knowledge but for Truth. Truth was most important to him and he shared that Truth in total commitment to healing the world. The message of his life -- that perfection on Earth is not only possible but imminent -- is gathering momentum and manifesting in the rapid growth of consciousness seen in all who practice the simple techniques of the Ishayas.
