Thin Ice

We spend so much of our time skimming across the surface of our existence that we fear to be still. We become like skaters on newly formed ice who hesitate to stop lest the stillness concentrate their physical weight and prove the ice not as stable as first thought.

We favor movement in our lives perhaps believing constant action to be the best way to avoid dealing with our subconscious, but ever-present, fear and doubt of our entire beingness.

Do we fear to claim the weight of the whole truth of ourselves believing it could be heavy enough to break through the thin veneer of our own worldly creation?

Like the skaters do we fear to fall into what lies beneath our superficial perception?

Taking a chance on stillness is hard for many and trusting what can be met, if one does so, to be beneficial can require a level of faith some cannot easily muster, but even the most hesitant will experience unsought moments of stillness no matter their conscious resistance.

Moments, maybe only seconds, when all feels in sync, all suddenly makes sense, and the usually overlooked ordinary becomes seemingly blessed. These incidences, though probably not thought of as such, are akin to plunging down through a break, a crack in the imagined foundations of what is assumed to be the only solid reality. Some may not fully understand what is occurring at the time and I think many often mistakenly believe they have in some way disconnected.

To my mind these incidences are not a disconnection from ourselves and our world, but rather a connection down into us and our hidden realms of creation to further connect to all creation. They are simple and natural occurrences that do not need to be feared, avoided, or determinedly sought, only recognized for what they are and the value they hold.

I think that despite how strong we perceive the barrier between ourselves and all that we are to be it is in fact as easily broken as thin ice, yet something we need to willingly place ourselves on anyway in order to truly experience the full weight of our being.

Knowing this many of us may think to actively strive to learn to stop fearfully skimming along the surface. Many may also think to actively strive to learn to trust not only stillness but the ensuing plunge it may cause, even try to accept the idea that the”I” they once were will not ever re-emerge from the encounter but rather that the “I” they are meant to become will.

It is my belief that perhaps none of us truly need to think, strive or do at all. Perhaps all we really need to be to hurry along our path and stay connected as we go is, as my friends say, “Be still child and be peace.

Namaste

Glorious Sound

Silence is not the absence of sound. Silence is a type of sound itself.

Within silence is energy, energy that when truly experienced without the preconceived idea of no sound equaling silence, can be found to be full of noise/sound, even movement. Meditaters will be familiar with what we suggest to be so.

It is said before babies awaken fully to the world around them they know no difference between sound and no sound. To them silence does not exist, they only know differing degrees of sound.

As they grow further and are able to communicate, they begin to realize through interaction that those older than themselves create a great distinction between loud and quiet, with the less obvious quiet becoming silence. They lose the ability to hear silence, for they are told there is nothing to be heard — silence is silent.

Your world has become noisy and though some sounds are much sought after many sounds inflicted upon the average person are unwelcome. Those who are without hearing, of course, have no choice either way, perhaps they would welcome any sound.

Mm, but do you believe that the profoundly deaf hear nothing at all? Could it be they hear sound, just not the same sound as defined by those whose hearing is unimpaired? Is this all seeming nonsense to you?

How can there be sound when no sound is present?

Sound is vibration — just as you are — all things natural are vibration and all things vibrate to their own frequency. So, if we propose sound can be heard in what is named silence, it follows also that we propose there must be something natural, some vibration within silence.

This vibration within silence has slowly been forgotten. The world has become, and will continue to become, far too noisy to easily “hear” this vibration, unless one deliberately removes oneself from the world and its noise.

With this deliberate act of removal one can finally sense the quieter vibration, the sound within the silence. The sound that has existed throughout all time. The sound that you heard as newborns and will again if you seek it.

Be still beloved children. Be still and listen for the sound within the silence, for that forgotten vibration is the vibration of you and the universe sounding in harmony — a glorious sound indeed.

Be still, be peace and heed this beautiful noise.

Namaste
