A gentle, loving, inner peace and silence
is here and now in this moment. It has always been
this way. It is always here. It is right here within you and all around you, a
stillness, an apparent void, a seeming nothingness out of which everything arises, exists,
and eventually returns.
You know
this. You have felt this.
There is
nothing more than this.
You are
this.
This is truth.
This is
not some esoteric spiritual jargon about some new age philosophy or any religion or belief.
There is nothing here which is mystical. There are just these words and you and the silence
within.
This is real, now.
This
silence is
right here in you, every single moment of your life.
This
pure silence contains you, your being-ness and yet the silence is your very being.
This
silence allows the entire universe to be.
All
existence, everything that is, all matter and energy, all thought is contained in this silence.
This
pure silence is what
some have called Truth, Infinity, Reality, Enlightenment, Nothingness, God, Great
or Holy Spirit, The Now, True Self, I am,
Consciousness and
Love.
This
silence is
a mystery beyond mind, beyond what the human brain can fully comprehend. Like a
beautiful diamond, we can only see a few facets at a time. This mystery is
seemingly far beyond us-our capacity to understand, to know. And yet this is
contained within our very selves, and this contains us as well.
The
greatest wonder of this is that you and I, above all other life forms on this
planet are able to be consciously aware of this reality, now.
Yes, you
are aware of this, though perhaps you have not experienced this yet. Perhaps you have
not realized this.
This
awareness of ours, this consciousness of being, is the silence itself.
The silence is the very
space of being.
In you, being has become aware of itself.
There is
only this.
We have
spent thousands of years denying what is more present to us than our very
breath, our very heartbeat.
This
silence permeates everything and is the allow-er of everything. The silence
allows us to be and to be free.
There is
only this.
You
are this!
All
that you need, all that you seek, all that you hope and long for is contained in this
silence.
This
web site may just help you to know this, to realize this and to live out of
this silence.
All
you need to do is stop and just be: Now!
There is
only this:
Pure
Silence
Welcome
to you my friend.
Enter Pure Silence
Please share the web site and the
silence with everyone!
