emptychair Yes, that song is a very meaningful song, with its words. That's nicely put, in silence we can meet God, and in silence, we can stay close to God too. "Hope will never be silent." Harvey Milk, (1930 to 1978) an American Politician said that. Is this true,...

Shiva @innertalks Mind has the freedom to wander and stray, but it should never go that far as to forget the oneness of creation. It is the oneness of creation enriched by the uniqueness in each of us that makes the world so rewarding. However, we should not work...

emptychair @Shiva49 I would say that truth could never be forgotten in our hearts, and soul, and even in our bodies too, but our minds can seem to overwrite the truth, with its own thinking at times. Our heart, soul, and body remain a part of the truth of oneness, but...

emptychair @Shiva49 l like truth to be simply stated, and not fluffed up in any way. Summarised truth is useful, sometimes, but the truth should not be tinkered with, by those who think that they can break it down into a few rules of their own too. To express truth...

emptychair Gandhi, and another spiritual master, Meher Baba, only had a quasi-silence though. In their non-talking stints, they used a writing board to communicate with. A bit like having a bit each way, and slightly hypocritical, in my view. Silence should...

emptychair It is a line ball I think, as to which art must come first, as you can't have one without the other. If we go right back, first there was silence, and then the listener came along, so silence comes first, as without that real silence, real listening never...

emptychair @josie_ "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1 If God, is the word, perhaps his word came before his silence??? Silence, can dwell anywhere, I would say; it can be at home both, in duality, and oneness,...
