[The following is a slightly reworked reprint of my post of May 15, 2012]
Listen...learn to listen. This is the message I'm getting from everywhere right now. Find the silence. Find the silence within...within our self. Learn to listen, find the silence within, is all about discipline...disciplining our very own mind.
The silence of a forest glen is all well and good, but that is not the silence we must find. No...right where we are, come apart from our world and learn to listen right where we are.
If we have thoughts that just race/race, run/run, we are blessed. For we know the time is now, the place to start is here...sit down, sit comfortably erect, close the eyes, hold a word or a thought in mind ("thank You" works well), and simply let....
Our goal is to loose the power within. It makes no difference what you call this power...God, Father or the Christ, by whatever name you call It, It is to be found within you! (Joel Goldsmith, "The Heart of Mysticism," p. 116)
That's the entire purpose of meditation...to open ourselves to that which we already have and are searching for so diligently out there.
It is not out there. It is within. Loose it and let it lead.
Thank you.
