Hmm. Interesting.
When I don't "hear" mine - it's because I'm overwhelmed with everything else in my mundane world, and can no longer "hear" them - if you see what I mean?
- when I'm really struggling with a problem, and/or ill/exhausted and have fallen out of the meditative and contemplative practices that help "switch on" my "other" senses.
They never sulk and stop talking.
They are not the "holy-er than thou" that require bowing and scraping if I'm being an ass. Lol. They are a part of me.
They're like my buddies that may raise an eyebrow and laugh at me - and it's up to when I shut up - within myself - that I'm then able to hear them again.
This has been my experience over time.
I have had periods where I've thought - "where is everybody?? - what's happening? - why do I feel as if all these things have never been??".
I figured out it's because of the aforementioned happening.
So - I don't worry about it anymore when it does happen.
All life - is about cycles.
WOW! That is so exactly how I feel and see it that I could have easily written those exact words myself.
Couldn't have said it any better.
