SILENCE

Contemplation

Whenever there is some silence around you -- listen to it. That means just notice it. Pay attention to it. Listening to silence awakens the dimension of stillness within yourself, because it is only through stillness that you can be aware of silence.

See that in the moment of noticing the silence around you, you are not thinking. You are aware, but not thinking.

When you become aware of silence, immediately there is that state of inner still alertness. You are present. You have stepped out of thousands of years of collective human conditioning.

~ 'Stillness Speaks', Eckhart Tolle

Be able to be alone. Lose not the advantage of solitude,but delight to be alone and single with Omnipresence, life is a pure flame,and we live by an invisible sun within us. ~ 'Letters Of The Scattered Brotherhood', Thomas Browne Meditation is the flow of Spirit into individual consciousness, that invisible substance, the Word, which becomes flesh. This flow of the spirit comes out of a pump that has to be primed. Your contemplative meditation is the priming of the pump. ~ Luella Overeem • Mystical Moon •   From Human Consciousness to Spiritual Awareness
