When you think your thoughts for no one, because of no one, your thoughts will be heard by the few who need to hear. This is the level on which we become mind-readers. It's also the point at which you go freelance. In your thoughts - in your words if you're a poet - you've served king, priest, magician, lovers: a veritable tarot of employers who pay your keep. But separate yourself from them and a new company forms around you. The company who don't need physical ears to hear. By extension this includes other mind-readers (better to say heart-readers): the noble dead, and the ring of wise Beings who stand around them.
You know who you are. There is at least a part of everyone which doesn't serve a master in its thoughts. But of course for long periods of time you are bound to serve different masters. It's called experience: you are obliged to think the thoughts and carry out the will of the forces which are forming you. If love is forming you, you think its thoughts; if religion is forming you, you think its thoughts; and so on. This is only right. However, if you're in employment - an ordinary job - you keep aside a part of yourself which looks on from a distance and remains free. The same is true of experience. And the time comes - by grace of God - when experience lets your mind go and allows you to think your own thoughts in freedom. As I say, there is a part of you which is always doing this (and you can enhance and enlarge this part by yourself).
Your audience will be small, your listeners few. Most people prefer to think the thoughts that are given them. (I don't wish to be arrogant in saying that, but I think it's true.) So who has an ear for the thoughts which have no page, which in essence can't be written down? Those who read minds, whose hearts lift up to that circle of Beings who know every experience and its value.
