Hearing God's Voice

Tomatis Effect

More than 50 years ago Dr. Alfred Tomatis got called to work on a famous opera singer. This singer who was used to using his voice to hit incredible notes, suddenly wasn’t able to hit certain notes that he had hit time and time again.

Dr. Tomatis was called to the scene and when he got there he got out his sonometer and discovered that the average opera singer produces a sound at 140Dbs!

That’s slightly louder than a military jet taking off from an aircraft carrier. And the sound is even louder inside one’s skull. That discovery led to a diagnosis: the opera singer had been deafened by the sound of his own voice. Selective muteness was caused by selective deafness. If you can’t hear a note, you can’t sing that note. In Dr. Tomatis’s words, “The voice can only reproduce what the ear can hear.”

Could it be that the reason we struggle to live a Godly life is because we can’t hear the voice of God properly? Could it be that we suffer from the Tomatis Effect. We aren’t able to speak the voice of God because we can’t hear the voice of God.

It’s so easy to drown out the voice of God. We all have so much stuff going on, right?
