Silence. Stillness. Listening. Truth.

"There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude.
There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost.
There is a sense of holiness in you that the thought of sin has never touched.
All this today you will remember." A Course in Miracles

"Silence is a virtue."
Let this be a gift that you give your self today. Get into a comfortable postion, close your eyes and let your mind settle down. Get behind the mind stream. This is where the real power can be found. It is found in the silence of the vastness that lies within.
"True Intelligence operates silently. Stillness is where creativity & solutions to problems are found.

Any disturbing noise can be as helpful as silence. How? By dropping your inner resistance to to the noise, by allowing it to be as it is, this acceptance also takes you into that realm of inner peace that is stillness."
Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Speaks.

"All things of value are given and received in silence." Meher Baba

"As I silently listen to Spirit within me and think of Its perfection,I know that I am being born into joy, hope & gladness, born into love, faith & assurance.
Silently, I release every negative thought from my mind, I release it and let it go. And I too, pray 'that they may all be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they may be one in us.'" Ernest Holmes

"Stop the words now, and open the window in your heart
And let the spirits fly in and out out and in...." Peter Makena

"Just one look into your eyes
Now I'm forever falling into the silence inside." Peter Makena

"Be still, and know." Psalm 46:10

'Let every voice but God's be still in me. In deepest silence, would I come to You, to hear Your Voice and to receive your Word." A Course In Miracles (lesson 254)

In the silence of listening,
you can know yourself in everyone,
the unseen singing softly to itself
and to you.

WORD FOR THE DAY
Tuesday, Jun. 9

In the stillness of the quiet,
if we listen, we can hear
the whisper of the heart
giving strength to weakness,
courage to fear, hope to despair.

Howard Thurman

If you love truth, be a lover of silence.
Silence, like the sunlight will
illuminate you in God.
