Silence

To be silent within means to quieten all discordant thoughts, feelings and emotions that surge within you. The internal noise prevents you from receiving the pure sounds that come from the higher spheres. By attuning your mind to the higher energies you can subdue the internal commotion. The mind must be elevated in order to break free from discordant energies that disturb your inner peace. You need to make the conscious effort to pull away from harsh thoughts and feelings that are keeping you engaged in restlessness.

A mind that is clouded with negative thoughts cannot perceive life with peace and love. Life thus appears overwhelmingly difficult; in the darkness of the mind it is almost impossible to look for solutions to ordinary life-situations. Consequently, life becomes an unnecessary burden to you. In order to live as a responsible spiritual being it is imperative to cast aside the darkness and allow the light to shine through your mind so that you can relate with your problems, and solve them without going through much trauma.

Life is not meant to be lived with hatred and bitterness towards your difficulties and sorrows. Blaming life for your consequences will not help to reduce your burdens; it only adds to them. It would do much good to build up a harmonious relationship with life. To cooperate with life, means to take responsibility for your life-situations instead of finding ways and means to pin the blame on other people or things. Much of the internal sounds are the echoes of the past voices that are still reverberating in your head, crying for peace and justice, for sympathy and revenge. These are the voices of the self that is trapped in the state of victim-consciousness; they are the voices of the self that is crying for respite and justice – the self that is clinging on to unforgiveness as its weapon against its offenders, and rejecting the gifts of life that bring with it opportunities for more peace and fulfillment in its being and world.

These woeful cries have no purpose in your present moment of time; they must be stopped. The only way to appease the wounded self is by forgiveness. Forgive those who have hurt you but more importantly, forgive yourself. The past must be allowed to rest. To mingle your past with your present causes a friction that distorts your NOW. Subdue all internal commotion with the Light of peace and forgiveness. Live in surrender to the silence within – the silence that comes with the stillness of your soul. Surrender all misgivings to God and free yourself from the compelling negative energies that holding you back from flying free into the sunlit skies.
