SILENCE „Silence is the language of God, and everything else is simply a bad translation.“ Silence is actually another word for space. Whenever we become aware of silence in our lives, it connects us to the dimension within us that is beyond space and time, beyond our ego. Perhaps it is the silence that flows through nature, or the silence in your room in the early hours of the morning, or the silence between the individual notes. Silence has no form – which is why we cannot become aware of it through thinking. Thought is form. To become aware of silence is to be still. To be still is to be conscious, without thoughts. Never are you more connected to your essence, never are you more yourself, than when you are still. When you are still, you are who you were before you entered time, before you took on this physical and mental form we call a person. You are also who you will be when this form dissolves. When you are still, you are the one who exists beyond time: unconditional, formless, eternal consciousness.
(Eckart Tolle)
