It is very hard to discern if the inner voices you hear are words of wisdom or not. When we look over the landscape of our consciousness, there are two primary sources. One is the Higher Self, which is who we truly are based upon love, and the other is our ego-mind that is our false sense of self based upon fear.

The ego-mind consciousness is in turmoil, and withdraws from reality into a defensive posture because It cannot function in reality which occurs only in the present moment. The value of meditation and especially this meditation, is that it helps you silence the ego-mind, and allow your Higher Self an opportunity to come through.
