In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness, ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Spirit

Have you ever listened to the silence? What have you heard? We’d like you to take a moment, right now before you read any further, and listen to the silence. Can you hear the sounds of silence?

You may have difficulty simply listening, not allowing your mind to chatter endlessly on, as it often does. But spend even just a few moments simply being — be-ing — not doing, thinking, looking, touching — but simply being silent. You will discover an entirely new layer of yourself, an new dimension of being.

In that new dimension you will feel a deep sense of peace, of oneness, of connectedness with yourself, with all that is.

Your world does not value silence, nor does it practice it much. That reluctance to value and practice the silence has taken its toll on your lives and on your planet.

If you will be silent with yourself many wonders will unfold. Listen to your heart beating. Listen to your breathing. Listen to your feelings. Just listen — do not judge, criticize, or analyze.

Simply listen. You will discover much richness in the silence. You will rediscover your soul self. Just be with that soul self in the silence — tenderly, compassionately, lovingly.

Practice this each day, if only for a few moments. You will open up a new world of wonder, joy, and peace — just by being with yourself in the silence. You will empower yourself to really listen to and fully love your sisters and brothers, your fellow creatures, your planet, all that is.

You will regain that quiet sense of inner peace you knew once.

Here’s Eckhart Tolle telling us how to listen for the silence.

In the early 1980s John took a spiritual development course, and was introduced to his first spirit guide, Lydia. After Lydia arrived, three other guides also came to him: Archangel Michael, Tamarra, and Chief Joseph. Today these are John’s four main guides.

Besides his four main ones, John has various other guides. The entire group is really a multidimensional collective consciousness. John refers to the entire group simply as “Spirit.”
