Guest guest Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 The Eloquence of Silence Dear Self ... Before you i was not.... your silence called forth all! Silence thundered ... in the echo of Love ... the myth of " i " came forth. That ray ... your love is - was ... that which lit each scene. Each heart ... born of the echo is - was mirrored truth. Eloquent Silence ... every response void ... devoid of expression of you. Empty ... i do not merge with you i... who am not ... am merely this affected effect! i am Thor .. Indra, my name is Zeus. A myth, i am that thunder! Silence writ .... each syllable ... every word an uttered lie! Oh intelligent one each letter here laid out your echoed-nature strings together! Silence ... not i ... is the cause of being! You are in Love with yourself! Your Love ... This manifestation of Om.. is not its own cause! Surely .... Love is its own reflection yet the love-light arises also! From the sheer moment from the sheer presence from the unfathomable from Silence! Oh Mind be quiet and listen.. listen to the eloquent one. understand this.. Realize that nothing arises from you! realize that you are not self-arisen recognize your dependance upon HE who does not speak! Oh mind acknowledge this... do not lie to yourself avoid it not -- in Silence all is done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the efforting that the confused thinking undertakes only compounds the confusion. Mind invents the conceptualization " silence " and then imagines that the concept is an ideal state to be sought. It then sits off on another wild goose chase. But then again.........that's not what it does......That is what it is. There is no such thing as " silence " .....and there is no one to find it. toombaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'you' can't be silent though. who's to say? no one knows. anymore than you know. but here before 'you' have said: " 'i' can't remain still or quiet " and that if you had to do that you'd leave the list...if so desired. that's got to be hard for a nonexistent, non-silent, thing to do. what list? there's no such thing as this post either. it's just pixels through and through... ..b b.b.
