INNER SILENCE

Nowadays, advertisings and discussions about the benefits of meditation have been widespread, and many are enrolling in these so-called esoteric centres. But the so-called masters in this area, manuals and books, complicates meditation so much that people are afraid to engage in these exercises. Almost all books about meditation discourage the reader from the beginning, for they require all kinds of “meditative techniques”.

But there is no technique at all! If there is one, it is that of silence, and silence does not require any technique: it is simply the emptying of ego’s contents to become one with the Infinite... to work a spiritual availability before the Infinite, and nothing else is necessary.

Releasing the mind to make of oneself a complete void...

And that requires some exercises and challenges because our thoughts are tyrannical! In general, we do not think about what we want. Our thoughts bombard us! Our mind is multi-polarized; our brain is a public square through which millions of thoughts, visual images and sounds of infernal forms invading our being without asking for permission to enter... simply invading us!

Thoughts enter and leave like all passers-by crossing the public square. And we allow thoughts to pass through our brain, and thus, it is impossible to have the direct experience of silence. It is necessary to transform the public square of our brain into a silent sanctuary of divine peace!

According to the Cosmic Laws, where there is a vacuity, plenitude happens. If I empty my inner being of desires and thoughts, a direct experience of God will certainly happen to me, able to bring plenitude for the plenitude of God to flow into my emptiness. Where there is an ego-emptying, there is a Theo-plenitude. The only way to solve this dilemma is the exercise of ego-emptying because sooner or later, sometime in our lives, plenitude will happen.

Our great challenge is to know how to empty ourselves of our concepts, beliefs and conditioning of the ego, of our thoughts and desires so that God's grace can give us a plentiful supply of Its wealth.
