More on the meaning of sounding through
July 13, 2008
Today I’m being made aware that sounding through is really about purpose. It is about the expression of the authentic self. The latter is the true you.
Sounding through sounds like sounding ‘true’ and if someone expresses him or herself from the Essence of who they are, they always ‘sound true’. Truth has a tone to it which we can discern. It makes us listen more attentively to it.
Hence, sounding through is giving expression to that which I am and not some ‘idea’ of who I am. So if I’m living on purpose I am expressing the truth of who I am. We have all heard the expression, ‘are you doing this on purpose?’ which means, ‘did you do that intentionally?’ So to live on purpose is to live with ‘intention’. When something is sounding through it penetrates to the core of the listener and understanding is reached. We have all heard the expression; “I wish I could get through to you.” This means, I wish you could understand me. Sounding through is self understanding being made manifest. It is me fully expressed in every aspect of me.

What is Sounding Through?
July 7, 2008
What is Sounding Through? The word can be understood in this way… Per means ‘toward’ and ‘son’ is a derivative of the French word for ‘sound’. Hence, toward sound. This, to me, is translated “Sounding Through”. In turn that is my definition of ‘person’. Sound is also associated with ‘vibration’ so sounding through is not just making sound but it’s also about the ‘vibes’ I send out.
In the above sense, we are always sounding through but our sound is not always that clear. If we are confused, our vibration may be felt as tumultuous or draining.
The Greeks thought of ‘person’ as someone who speaks through a mask. From there we derived persona, or personality. But in my understanding of sounding through or person I don’t see the artificial thing we could call persona or personality but sounding “through”, with the emphasis on ‘through’ is the ‘essence’ of who I am being made manifest, sounding through.
You would think that the above is evident but I believe that because of conditioning the true or AUTHENTIC you is covered over and in fact, life is all about uncovering that kernel and making it manifest, making it appear.
So in Sounding Through I mean the appearance of that which is true and sincere and the essential you… the PERSON.
We’ll explore further as time goes. That’s it for today.

My Introduction
July 6, 2008
Well here I am. Hello world, indeed. I ask myself, what is this blog about? I answer, “It’s about me sorting myself out”. It is me recognizing that I am ‘a point of power’. It is me showing myself and taking my place on the vast sea of humanity. So I say; “Hello world, here I am”.
As I look around this place called the Internet I discover that I am such a small, tiny little dot. I could shrink back and say ‘what’s the use’ or I can disclose myself here and simply speak and declare openly my process in search of self expression.
When I say I am a ‘point of power’ I mean that I recognize myself as the tip of the pen that writes a word on a blank piece of paper. This blog is my space. This is my little home. It is a home with glass walls. I choose to let anyone who wants, look in and comment on my affairs.
Yes, I’m on the internet because I would like to think I can also create a business on line and make some money to support myself and to encourage myself in the world of creative ventures. Oh is that a world of adventure?
Yeah! That’s it!
I am on an A-D-V-E-N-T-U-R-E and I want to share it. Will I succeed in creating an internet business? Will I succeed in giving myself a forum where I creatively express what it is I have to contribute?
I am a ‘point of power’. It’s not that I’m only the tip of the pen I am also the ‘writer’, the ‘author’ imagining ideas and directing the pen. I am the creative source choosing to express itself ‘here’, now. I have ‘initiated’ this process and I have ‘selected’ this means of expression.
So here I am world. I am choosing to dialogue with you. Let’s see where this goes.
Oh! Is there anyone there?
