What a Relief..it’s the same state when we Sit in Original Silence to Allow fingers to fly on keyboard Uttering Whispers & no mind present to know what is worded as the fingers fly
…same state as when Gazing in/of/as another’s soul/Beingness….
or Gazing at a flower or hummingbird…
AH…AS ALL OF LIFE

Let me seek then, the gift of silence,
and poverty and solitude,
where everything I touch is turned into prayer,
where the sky is my prayer,
the birds are my prayer,
the wind in the trees is my prayer,
for God is all in all.
Thomas Merton

The Flower Of Silence Is Your Body
A beautiful soul-friend said to me with longing, "I miss the silence!
How can I find it again?"
This touched me so deeply, I cried. It is the most important question,
the most mature question, yet the question of a child yearning for Mother,
the question of one who could not ask it unless every particle of her body
was already pervaded by the answer!
Dearest one, do not look for silence in the mind. The mind is never silent.
Instead, find silence through the body. The body, not the mind, is the gate
of meditation.
Let mind dissolve into sensation, sensation into energy, energy into emptiness.
Just listen.

Let mind dissolve into sensation, sensation into energy, energy into emptiness.
Just listen.
Descend into the cells of your body. Feel all your molecules vibrating as
one sensation. Nature's intelligence carries out the astonishing complexity
of cell physiology without any planning, without any thinking. Let your
mind repose in bewilderment, be wildered and witness the primal Radiance
of your flesh. Just listen to what listens.
Listen to the bell-bowl of each cell. Feel the hollow places in you, the caverns
in matter. Rest in the cavity of the mid-brain, the no-thing at the center of
the eyeball, the emptiness in the nostrils, ears, throat, chest, heart, belly,
abdomen, bone marrow. How spacious is your body!

Now be aware of the vacuum in a single atom. At any point in your flesh,
enter the silent sub-nuclear vastness beyond the stars. Tumble down through
the center of the densest proton. Fall into That. Feel the silence...
The total information about every galaxy that ever whirled or will ever
spin forth, is contained in the nameless point, the infinitesimal bindu at
the center of a quark, where all the gravity-waves in creation bring you
home to the singularity of your Self.
Your mind struck dumb with beauty, let the particles of your body dissolve
into the hum of the void, the emptiness that sparkles with virtual photons
and electrons of pure consciousness.

This is the womb of creation,
where spirit and matter have not yet divided
into subject and object.
Don't just listen to this vibrant silence.
You are the
Silence.
In the words of the ancient sage Ashtavakra, Layam vraja, :
"Dissolve now!"

AFTERNOON
From the perspective of open awareness,
uncertainty and aliveness are one.
In the center of the shakiness is immense creativity.
uncertainty and aliveness are one.
In the center of the shakiness is immense creativity.
From within the core,
there is nothing to transform,
no new person to become,
and no healing which must first occur
before you can fully show up and participate here.

A mystery coming into form
From the perspective of exhaustion and the longing for rest, it is compassionate to seek relief from the uncertainty and to soothe an overstimulated nervous system. Honor the need for regulation and practice self-compassion. Dare to care for yourself in wild and new ways.

Your life is not a project to be solved, but a mystery coming into form.
While the mind may spin in the attempt to resolve the energies of being and becoming, buried inside the paradox is wisdom and new life. We need not resolve the mystery but enter into it more deeply. Inside is a primordial sort of rest, which is discovered not through the resolution of questions, but by way of intimacy with the contradictions.
Though the activity of love is infinitely tender and holding, in its essence it is everything. It is devastating as it is the end of one world, glorious as it is the beginning of another.

The pain of life is the price paid for the quickening of the heart.
Bowl of Saki, August 15, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan
There is a phrase in the Bible, "Knock, and it shall be opened unto you". The Message of God is an answer to the cry of humanity. Now, as to the instrument of the message -- in reality the whole universe is an instrument, and every object and every being in it is an instrument; through whichever instrument He chooses He gives His message.
One sees in one's life, and especially at times when one is deep down in depression and sorrow, some answer coming to the difficulty of that situation. It may come from a friend, from a brother, from parents, from a beloved; even from one's enemy one may get what was necessary at the moment.
But you will say, "Why should a message come in the life of an individual in the time of pain, or after a great sorrow? Why should not a message come every day for one's guidance?" And there are two reasons for it: One reason is that there is constantly a guidance from above, but man, so absorbed in his life's activities, does not open his heart to listen to that message and to see where it comes from. And the other reason is that the deeper the sorrow the higher the voice of the heart rises, until it reaches the throne of God; and that is the time when the answer comes, when a person is drowned deep in the sorrow and grief.
... Plainly speaking, man's real being is his heart, and in pain the heart becomes living and without pain man seems to be living on the surface. You will often see in life that people with an intolerable nature and manner, after having gone through the agony of pain in life, develop in them a finer nature.
~~~ Religious Gatheka 45, The Message, by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)
Those who have avoided love in life from fear of its pain have lost more than the lover, who by losing himself gains all. The loveless first lose all, until at last their self is also snatched away from their hands.
The warmth of the lover's atmosphere, the piercing effect of his voice, the appeal of his words, all come from the pain of his heart. The heart is not living until it has experienced pain. Man has not lived if he has lived and worked with his body and mind without heart. The soul is all light, but all darkness is caused by the death of the heart. Pain makes it alive. The same heart that was once full of bitterness, when purified by love becomes the source of all goodness. All deeds of kindness spring from it.

There is not the slightest doubt that when man has had enough pain in his life he rises to this great consciousness. But it is not necessary that only pain should be the means. It is the readiness on the part of man to efface his part of consciousness and to efface his own personality, which lifts the veil that hides the spirit of God from the view of man.
