Have you ever heard something that really "resonated" with you? I'm sure that if you are in tune with yourself emotionally, physically and/or spiritually you will know this experience well. Have you however ever reflected on what it means when something "resonates" with you? If you reflect on the latter question you will likely come to the conclusion that to say that something resonates with you generally means that what was said feels like "the truth" for you. Now in this simple realization there are three points I would like to highlight. Firstly, the feeling of resonance, if you notice it closely is a feeling experience and not an intellectual experience. In other words it does not originate in the mind but in a different place inside you. In order to appreciate where this feeling lives inside you you need to become aware of one simple fact. That is, that since "you" are the instrument that is resonating with what was said, then the location of the feeling of resonance is the same as where you feel yourself to be inside your body. If you wish to locate "yourself" inside your body just think of something that you really "resonate" with and notice where you feel the resonance feeling inside your body. Secondly, you will, if you followed me closely on the first point recognize that "you" are therefore NOT your "mind". You are in fact somewhere other than your mind. Where you feel the resonance is in fact where you are. Does that resonate with you? Thirdly, the very fact that something inside of you is able to resonate at all with something that is said means that there must be an inner intelligence inside you that already "knows" what is and what is not true for you. What's interesting again is that this inner intelligence has little if anything tho do with your intellect or your mind because as you've noticed it is located somwhere other than in your mind. You'll also recognize that since the feeling of resonance originates in a place where "you" feel yourself to be that inner intelligence is YOU! So in summary. from this simple experiment you will recognize that: 1. To say "I resonate with what was said" means "what was said is true for me". 2. This feeling of resonance or truthfulness does not originate in the intellect or mind but where one experiences themselves to be in their body. 3. This feeling of resonance corresponds to an inner intelligence that is beyond mind or brain and that does not rely on the latter for knowledge. 4. This inner intelligence is YOU! 5. Finally, if you are this inner intelligence what has been the purpose of identifying yourself with what is stored in your mind?
