Reveries about silence

| More than ever, I sense my path of growth as a road to initiation consisting of a variety of delicious high diving and gliding flights. Sometimes I hear, “You are going too fast, slow down and stop to see and listen. If not you’ll miss the essence.” I know and feel this is true. Consciously created moments of silence give me the space for open reveries, spontaneous meditations and visualizations. During silence, sometimes previous awareness dissolves, and a new insight germinates. Sometimes a new inspiration flashes forth, unhindered by the humming of my thoughts. The more I experience this direct game, the more something within me yearns for it. Silence is essential for me to know myself alone in this space. When I type this I believe that sometimes a feeling of All-One comes into being in that space. Once I read, ‘Silence comes closest to expressing the unspeakable.’ I like that. It reminds me of the first time I had a special get-together with someone I had never met before. So much was silently spoken from the meeting of each others eyes. Silence also reminds me of a Buddhist saying: ‘Be silent and watchful; only in the liberty of neutral awareness, out of itself, arising consciousness appears.’ I almost experience that as a physical movement within myself. I listen with a slanting inner ear if something just wants to be said, or not. Yet more often then ever silence is enough. Not that that happens to me all the time, but out of my desire the wish to practice is created, so who knows. The stillness of the silence-walk I attended in October of this year caused me to unwind within even further. I allowed myself not to be socially focused on others. My breathing created the space for an innermost gathering with nature and its creatures. It is so valuable, once and again, to experience that contact with my inner Knowing/Being, and to feel this liberty of its own accord. I am still surprised about the thread of life -- advice and present words -- that were heard during the walk by means of the staffs-of-the-druids. That was only possible, I now understand, within that stillness. Maybe some of us, or all of us, will be able to continue to integrate that silence within ourselves. That will be a moment of SILENCE, where you can go into, wherever/whenever, to hear your Self truly during a micro-moment. Let that be a Promise.
