Guest guest Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hi Pete, life is my definition of knowing... death is my definition of unknowing... silence is my definition of death... when i'm alive... i know i am alive... i know my body... i know my mind. i know i am alive. when i am dead... i don't know my mind... i don't know my body... i don't know i'm dead. all i know is consciousness... silence... and bliss... but i don't know the perceiver of these things... i'm perceiving consciousness without knowing who's perceiving consciousness... i experience bliss unknowing who experiences bliss... i hear silence not knowing who hears silence... Silence is taking me a bit longer to respond, i have to meditate on it first.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 silence is everywhere... where there is sound. silence is within sound... penetrating and all surrounding sound... without silence... sound would not be heard. can you hear the silence now? i hope that doesn't sound like hermann hesse...

Here we meet and we meet ever in the truth of our Being. Even if it comes with a mask or two ;-) who am I? God only knows ;-) The unknown that I Am.
