WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE
OF STILLNESS
+ Inner
Frontier offers
a
page on the practice of stillness by Joseph Naft, a wise and experienced spiritual
guide. Here are 2 excerpts:
·
Neither stillness of
consciousness, nor stillness of will depend on stillness of the body. Thoughts
and emotions can be streaming, the body moving, seeing, hearing, and speaking,
and yet, simultaneously, underlying all these more external perceptions, we can
stay in touch with the more interior, the stillness of consciousness, open in
our will, fully present.
·
Stillness of will,
openness to the Tao, should not be confused with passivity. Instead, it calls
for an alert, awake, open way of being.
While stillness of body and of will are important, even
essential, it is stillness of consciousness that really makes the difference,
what we are striving to attain here as we become the heavenly beings we are
called to be. You are fantastic. Yes, YOU.
I believe it takes the steady and determined day to day practice of
stillness for us to come to really believe and know for sure that we are
heavenly beings even during our earthly sojourn.
At Inner Frontier, Joseph Naft offers a very
illuminating and insightful article on a variety of spiritual practices
