THE SOUND OF THE SILENCE

Picture

Stillness speaks louder than words

There's a deep knowing within us that we are not merely a body. But our projecting minds seem to indulge the notion that the body is our all. From this we spin our particular worlds.

Looking from inner stillness, we can see mostly everyone caught in unrelenting denial, each clinging to the belief that tomorrow might possibly deliver while ignoring the fact that everything in our worlds is merely a passing occurrence.

The Great Epochal Shift
​

Picture
Available Online
We are living at the end of an epoch which means humanity is undergoing catastrophic change. Our world structures, belief systems and expectations have become obsolete. The eminent realignment is bringing our life essence into a clearer space which means the past that we know is about to dissolve.

The preparatory cleansing has already commenced, noticeable in the rouse of dictators, political and corporate, sucking the life energy of people. We can see the cancer of the world stock markets, transparency exposing the disease of speculation. That said, we are about to realize there are no external enemies, for all things in existence are interconnected, interdependent and interrelated. Attacking others because we don’t like their ideas is like breaking the mirror because I don’t like the look of my face.

​In the deeper reality there is only self, the man or woman reading these words where one is herein accountable. The cleansing comes from within and sequentially dissolves the greed possessing the world imposing austerity measures on innocent life. By the way of things, this is the great epochal shift upon us right now.

This booklet is a collection of key statements intended to open our vision to the way ahead.


STILLNESS IS THE WAY


​In the stillness of no-mind, being that you are, you are pure awareness. This cognition is self evident. You know you exist and this act of knowing is cognition. There is no storehouse of information, no memory necessary. In the immediacy of this original state, whatever needs to be known is instantly known. The variation between highly evolved beings and those lesser evolved is in the degree of cognition. The difference is one of degree but not of kind. Awareness serves the degree of cognition in every living species in all forms of life.

The degree is lessened in the emotional plane of existence. This is the world as we know it, with its moments of happiness alternating with its moments of misery. It manifests at the personal level as the sluggishness relative to thought enshrouding the mind and impeding the light of pure awareness. From this arises the apparent imbalance in the world taking shape through the mind.

Our world is a mental construct. Let us examine this fact. The mind, our entire thinking process, is outer projection. Even when we are introspective, we are still seeing through the projecting image of the personal self. This can be easily examined in our direct experience. The subconscious is the discarded memory of the emotional past, not just our personal past, but the entirety of past re-presenting as the manifestation of our lives and problems in the present.

Our lives, as in this moment, are the current manifestation of human consciousness at our degree of cognition in which we act out our narratives accordingly. Our boundaries are set by our personified selves. Contrary to what we project, there are no external agents. We trap ourselves with our minds. The mind hears the word and interprets through its degree of sluggishness, turning the word into a dogma, another belief structure further encasing self in the repetitive program. The way out is stillness, for only in stillness can self be seen.


NOW IS LIFE

​​This is an exploration into our cosmic essence on a journey unfolding a freedom from the relative known. This freedom is always present to be lived and cherished when the artificiality of our acquired nature is truly seen and dropped.
