"Silence is Golden"
Because It's the Ground State of
All Conscious Being.
***
Silence is the Formless
Substrate experienced by
Mind as Consciousness.
Pure Silence is the
Formless Substrate conceived by
Mind as Consciousness.
Heartfelt Silence is
The Formless Consciousness that
Mantles Awareness.
***
Still Awareness knows
Palpable Silence and Self-
Awareness is Birthed.
Still Awareness knows
Palpable Silence and gives
Birth to Consciousness.
Still Awareness knows
Palpable Silence and gives
Birth to Self-Knowledge.
***
Existence begins
With Still Awareness knowing
Palpable Silence.
Silence is the Womb
In which Seed Potential is
Brought into Being.
***
Mind Being Aware
Of Silence replicates the
"Zero and the One."
Mind Being Aware
Of Silence replicates the
First Primal Union.
Mind Being Aware
Of Silence replicates the
Father-Mother God.
Max Picard-Wise:
"Each time we enter into the Silence, we open ourselves to the Beloved in a unique and vulnerable way ... we open the eyes and ears of our heart to the Heart of the universe." ~ from THE WORLD OF SILENCE by Max Picard
"Poetry comes out of silence and yearns for silence. Like us, it travels from one silence to another. It is like flight, like a circling over silence." ~ Max Picard
"We need to recover an oasis of silence within the rhyme and reason of our active life, for it is in silence that we meet God face to face." ~ Max Picard
[Rich Note: After reading Thomas Merton's "Author's Note" (a note in which Thomas acknowledged the inspirational nature of Max Picard's "The World of Silence") in "Thoughts In Solitude" this morning, I found a complementary PDF version at the following link:
