title:: Books/Stillness Speaks - Listen to Silence Around - ==Whenever there is some silence around you — listen to it. That means just notice it==. - Pay attention to it.Listening to silence awakens the dimension of stillness within yourself, because it is only through stillness that you can be aware of silence. - See that in the moment of noticing the silence around you, you are not thinking. You are aware, but not thinking. - ==When you become aware of silence, immediately there is that state of inner still alertness. You are present. You have stepped out of thousands of years of collective human conditioning.== - - Highlights - Every thought pretends that it matters so much. It wants to draw your attention in completely. ==Here is a new spiritual practice for you: don’t take your thoughts too seriously.== - When you say “yes” to what is, you become aligned with the power and intelligence of Life itself. #Say Yes to Life id:: 63347284-18db-4b81-9691-138bdefc8150 - “Yes” weakens it. Your form identity, the ego, cannot survive surrender. #Say Yes to Life - I am not my thoughts, emotions, sense perceptions, and experiences. I am not the content of my life. I am Life. I am the space in which all things happen. I am consciousness. I am the Now. I Am. id:: 6336ddb1-024a-4643-a923-6712a7efcbef - How often each day, if you were to verbalize your inner reality at that moment, would you have to say, “I don’t want to be where I am”? #litmustest - Doing one thing at a time means to be total in what you do, to give it your complete attention. This is surrendered action — empowered action. #Surrender - Surrender becomes so much easier when you realize the fleeting nature of all experiences and that the world cannot give you anything of lasting value. #Surrender - Attention, which is alert stillness, is the key. #dhayana id:: 63a30fa5-c1c0-40d3-9dc0-73cf0e9b1aae - If spacious stillness is missing, the relationship will be dominated by the mind and can easily be taken over by problems and conflict. If stillness is there, it can contain anything. -
