Some people think they understand the voice of inspiration by
paying attention to the tone of the voices they hear in their heads. A
friend once said, “I know the difference between my ego’s voice and
inspiration’s voice because the ego has an urgency to it and inspira-
tion is gentler.”
I think this is deceiving. A voice that sounds harsh and a voice
that sounds gentle are still voices from the ego. Even right now, as
you read these words, you are talking to yourself.You are questioning
what you are reading.You’ve come to identify with that voice and to
think it’s you. It’s not. Divinity, and inspiration, are behindthose
voices. As you keep practicing ho’oponopono, you keep getting
clearer about what is actually inspiration and what isn’t.
As Dr. Hew Len keeps reminding us,“This is not a fast-food ap-
proach to healing. It takes time.”
I’d add that awakening can happen at any time. Even while reading
this book. Or taking a walk. Or petting a dog. The situation doesn’t
matter.Your internal state does. And it all begins, and ends, with one
beautiful phrase:
“I love you.”Epilogue 195ccc_zero_189-196_epi.qxd 5/4/07 1:04 PM Page 195
