The Deafening Sound of Silence*

Amid the many noises that abound around us,

from those of stars exploding in the distant cosmos

to the songs and shouts of our fellow human beings,

there’s one sound whose loudness overpowers them all:

the pure sound of silence!

Silence is overwhelmingly deafening.

So much so that we can’t even hear its mighty roar.

It expresses itself everywhere, yet we can’t see it.

It’s so mighty that we can’t get our arms around it,

so intangible that we can’t feel it,

so quiet that we can barely locate it.

Where is silence?

Actually, it lives everywhere,

including and especially in our human core.

If we listen closely to its whisper, we can hear its roar.

If we focus on its quietness, we can experience its wonder.

If we attune to its soundlessness, we can experience its magnificence.

If we allow its magic into our awareness, we can be transformed by its might.

In truth, silence is the inaudible source of all creation.

It’s the source of you and me, of galaxies and universes.

Its extreme quietness holds a phenomenal power:

It quietly screams any possibility into a perceivable reality.

Silence ‘s power creates you and me anew each and every moment.

What is this quantum silence, for you and me?

It’s our secret weapon, our quietest power,

our life-giving source, our ever-present resource.

Silence is our deepest core, our ‘self’ and identity.

It holds every secret we could ever want to know.

Best of all, this silence whispers its secrets to us all the time.

Listen to it.

Attune to its language.

Let go into its wisdom.

Unite with its truth.

Dissolve into its magic.

Become silence itself.

Only then will you know and understand.

Only then will you be at peace.

QUANTUM SOURCE ... QUANTUM WORLD ... QUANTUM VOID ... QUANTUM YOU!
