WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE
OF SILENCE
-- Thomas Merton in The
Silent Life
+ Inner solitude
and Noble Silence is a way to empty, cleanse, heal, and renew the heart and
mind. This is a voluntary way to start the process of simplification and
personal downsizing. The peace will help you purify your perceptions and make
presence of mind more acute, clear, spacious, and even luminous. / Incredible satisfaction is available when
you begin experiencing the timeless truth that less can actually be more; that
the most elegant solution is often the simplest one. Gratitude and appreciation
serve us better than attachment and grasping. Peace of mind is the inmost
secret treasure.
-- Lama Surya Das

+ It is not easy to practice silence these days. Most of
us live in noisy environments. Too much noise of all kinds blocks discernment
and healing. So let’s see if we can reduce the noise, be silent and be healed.
If we can do that we can experience heavenly moments, blissful moments,
delightful moments throughout the day.
Miracles happen during moments of silence and as a result
of moments of silence.
When you are silent you listen. Your listen more and more to your inner guide
and to all kinds of external sources of information, many previously ignored.
Your true self is your direct connection to heaven, to that glorious realm of abundance, joy, wisdom, beauty, love, truth, peace, justice and freedom which is everywhere and is now here.
Remember:
Your true self is your direct connection to heaven, to that glorious realm of abundance, joy, wisdom, beauty, love, truth, peace, justice and freedom which is everywhere and is now here.
Remember:
I am / You are / We are
Intimately
Intricately
Infinitely
Connected
To a Matrix of
Unconditional
Unlimited
Uniting
LOVE
Which is
Miraculous
Mysterious
Marvelous
When you are awake, aware and connected in this realm, you are far more real, far more authentic, than you are when you are not awake, aware, connected. Stillness, Silence, Solitude and Simplicity are all essential practices which make it possible for us to awaken to reality. The walls of separation fall and we know ourselves as one heavenly being, right now, right here.
