Silence is reality. It exists before and after all expressions of creation, and all experiences are transmitted through it. Is all other experience self-created, and illusory, in relation to silence?
Under the influence of karmic inheritance, and evnironmental conditions, the mind can be easily programmed to execute an endless loop of chasing self gratification, operating under the false pretense that life is meaningful in relation to experience accumulated to satisfy the ego - which, by it's nature, can never be satisfied.
These patterns can manifest in any psychic space where fear of death is greater than love of life.
This truth underlies all problems - from the smallest tensions in personal relationships, all the way up to the largest explotations and manipulations of nations which leads to war, famine and poverty.
Silence terrifies the ego, becaues the truth in silence, perhaps more than anything, reveals the ego's authority as fraudulent.
In self defense, the ego broadcasts at full fource, our self created and/or inherited karmic conditions through the instrument of mind. However, any karmic condition can be dissolved bu a concerted effort, or non-effort, to cease indulgence of said condition.
On the internal battlefield, contemplation of silence provides the ultimate form of non-violent self defense, where the ego's screams are gradually revealed as insignificant statements with no bearing on truth.
Silence provies the space where one can cultivate and maintain one's capacity for love for all.
All expressions of life - music, speech, movement - become imbued with such sweetness, when made with respect to silence.
Let the musician humble ask the silence permission for each note played.
This cultivation of listening is vital for our well being. In this way, the psychic silence science heals all.
