Are You Listening?
Peace my name is LAKing Allah the Black Seed. One of the greatest gifts we have as
individuals is our ability to listen.
When I say “listen” I am not referring to the state of simply hearing
the noises and vibrations of the sound waves around you, I am speaking truly
tuning in to the world and environment that surrounds us. Given the rate by which information travels
from one cipher to the next there is much to be lost in the realm of
communication; however it is up to the select few that choose to truly do the
Knowledge (which means to look, listen, observe and respect) to “catch” the
pertinent “jewels” that are being passed on a daily basis.
By simply listening deeper and
paying closer attention at our jobs, to our mates, family and friends; there is
much to be gained. In addition to what
you are able to gain personally, there is so much that you will be able to
offer the world around you once you are able to utilize what you have gained by
simply increasing the strength of your personal radar. We have grown so accustomed to being narrow
minded, near sighted and selectively hearing only what we want to, that our
self-imposed tunnel vision has all but blinded us. It is up to us to make a conscious decision
to tune in to the many frequencies and valid conversations that take place
within ears reach constantly and consistently within the lives that we
lead.
I am very familiar with the old saying….”easier
said than done” however in this instance I am not so sure that it is
applicable. What could be easier than
lending your neighbor an ear? How much
effort does it take to listen more astutely to newscasts, web programming and
conversations that are already taking place around you? How difficult would it be to share your new found
knowledge acquired by doing the knowledge more intently with those who may need
it most? Trust me when I tell you from
personal experience that it is not hard at all; however the benefits can be
extremely gratifying and in some cases life altering.
We all have a choice to listen or
not to listen, to be heard or not be heard; however it is the chosen that
choose themselves for each path that may lie ahead. Listening is one of the oldest forms of
flattery and also one of the original skills used in fortune telling. While true listening has never been a
mysterious science, there are amazing things that can come as a result of truly
looking, listening, observing and respecting.
In closing, I leave you with one question.
CAN YOU HEAR
ME NOW?
Peace,
LAKing
Allah
