Hi! This audio was extracted from a YouTube video created by folks from the Eastlake Hall of Silo's Message in Oakland, California, to share with neighbors.

In this, Mike shares his experience with The Asking, an important tool for connecting with our inner guides, asking for protection, inspiration, and what you need to help your communities navigate these times.

Our website is silosmessageoakland.org, where you can download materials for free.

Configuring an Inner Guide

We all know that we are living in a time of intense crisis in our world, which is in a stage of great change toward a future different from what we know. We are experiencing this in our own lives and in the lives of those close to us. In such situations of great need, all people seek the orientation of true guides, and Silo’s Message leads us to look within ourselves. For this reason, the work of configuring an Internal Guide is an important and valuable personal work that will help us deepen and advance toward our aspirations of a coherent and meaningful life, based on internal integration and expansion toward the world of other people, with the best of human qualities: wisdom, kindness, and strength.

The Guided Experiences were developed by Mario Rodriguez Cobos, better known as SILO. They consist of a series of phrases that describe the mental scenario in which the practitioner must place themselves, producing emotional climates that allow the emergence of core problems. These guided exercises help resolve knots of conflict in which we are trapped; the cause of the problems can be rooted in the past, such as guilt or resentment; or in the present, due to an overload of tension, anxiety, body image issues, or psychosomatic illnesses; or they may be due to difficulties with future time, in relation to the criterion of reality, and those caused by perplexity about the meaning of life, finitude, and transcendence.

A useful resource for personal nonviolence for those participating in Communities of Silo’s Message and the Humanist Movement as well as anyone working on combined personal and social change.
