Hearing God and Wiggling your Ears

From Alan Smith’s Blog

Can you wiggle your ears? I can’t. Wish I could. I had a friend once that could wiggle their ears independently of each other and raise either eyebrow. This is a great source of fun and entertainment.

I think the frustrating thing for me is that it’s not as if I “can’t” wiggle my ears. It’s just that I don’t know how. The muscles are all there but I can’t isolate them and activate them. The muscles are wired to my brain. My brain just doesn’t know how to activate those muscles. The neural pathway is lost. Or something like that.

People often ask me about how they can learn to hear God’s voice. As I listen to their stories, it sometimes feels like someone asking me how they can learn to wiggle their ears. They know they have all the tools needed to do it, but they just aren’t sure how to access them. They can’t seem to isolate and activate that “muscle”.
