Divine Silence

Me : Why is silence so spiritually important ? 

Voice : If you wanted to paint, would you prefer to choose a blank canvas or just paint over another painting? 

Me : Anyone would want a blank canvas..

Voice : Silence creates a blank canvas for your soul. The painting on this canvas unfolds from within in its own free way, in this inner silence. 

Me : How does one create that blank canvas ? 

Voice : In total surrenderance to the moment. 

Me : Always sounds great, but what does that even mean ?     

Voice : Just the way you choose a bank canvas to paint, you empty your mind to create magic. You become so empty that you do not even hold the painting brush. You observe. The unfoldment of the painting of your life finds its own colours, textures and size. The result will be the most magnificent work of art from the hands of the Divine. 

A mind that has surrendered is not rushing anywhere. It remains silent and allows.

It is when you want to paint over another painting, that you begin to get flustered. And most of humanity is lost to the noise, instead of living with the sound of silence.  

When you create moments of silence within you, you create blank spaces which fill up with inspiration. In those moments, you hear the voiceless voice, the silent sound of Divinity.   

Me : Wow. How does one find this silence ? 

Voice : In many ways.. 

Me : Tell me an easy one I can do now.  

Voice : Ok. 

Now, close your eyes only for a small moment. Believe there is nowhere to go and nothing to become. Drop all the titles you live with. Desire for absolutely nothing..not even God. There are no goals. Be still. Know that nothing belongs to you, not your body nor your mind. Drop all your beliefs of time and know that past and future do not exist. Only bring your awareness to this present moment. Become free like the wind. This moment belongs to your soul. 

Me : Wow

Voice : You will find your real self here. It will open your life to freedom, vibrancy, wisdom, joy and love. When you feel this moment with all your heart and trueness, you will find your highest state of being. 

Me : Why can’t we all find this small measure of peace, if it's so simple ? What's coming in the way ? 

Voice : You. You are coming in your own way. Nothing binds you except your ownself. How many of you live in the awareness of inner silence ? How many of you want nothing ? How many of you embrace the present moment ? How many of you welcome losing everything to find the reward of nothing ?

If your canvas is not blank, how can the painting be special ?  You have held the painting brush so tight, that I only remain waiting for you to release your hold, so I can create, that which can fill you with unbounded love and joy. 

Release. Release more and more. What are you holding to ? 

When the floodgates open within you, rivers of love will gush in it's silent flow through your entire being, filling emptyness with life-giving love. Seeds will bloom with the nurture of your heart. A Divine garden will spring forth in perfect silence, while you remain only a witness.       

When you begin to live with Divine Silence, your senses will feel the vibration, instead of the sound of words.

The Circle Of Life

Me : Where does mankind stand right now with it's evolution ? 

Voice : Your question itself will give you a fair understanding of where you stand. You naturally think about evolution of mankind. But, mankind is not alone on this planet. All life in creation is on the evolution journey. And, when you begin to include ALL even in your question, you will begin to discover your own answer.

When you pay attention only on the ascension of mankind, you are making the same mistake to isolate all life in creation from yourself. 

For long, you have lived a life disconnected from rest of existence. Your natural world is interconnected and interwoven with your own Being. You are not separate from it. You never were. And can never be. When this distance is bridged, you will begin your journey as an evolving race. The idea that your species is separate from nature despite being evolved from nature, dependent on nature, and involved in the cycles of nature, may need to be rediscovered.  

Your natural world is a perfect gauge of your evolution. This will mirror where you stand as a human race.    

Me : We urgently need strong laws and enforcements to protect nature !

Voice : Not when there are laws to conserve the natural habitats, but when there are absence of any laws is when you have evolved. You protect and preserve not because of any enforcements, but because this is your very nature. There can never be laws to force the expression of love. Not only protecting, preserving and creating an abundant natural world, but communion with it, is your very nature. 

Your evolution is a realisation of your shared place on earth which affects your being - how you experience the world; your emotional response, beliefs and attitude towards nature. Nature is an artistic expression of God’s love. When you live disconnected from nature, you impede the natural flow of love and healing that sustains all.  

Me : This will need a major change. Leaders of nations would play a role here. Will the current situation bring about this change ? 

Voice : The pandemic will trigger governments around the world to release relief monetary packages to protect and boost their economies. This may be a good at your attempt to keep your material world afloat. But, when a country that begins to know and understand that the natural environment and mankind are an eternal, supreme and unfailing co-existence, it would release an equally generous relief plan to nurture it's environment to seek a new found harmony. This shift of priority will be the first sign of a major change in your world. 

Me : Not tuned into news. Not sure if any monetary relief is announced for Mother Earth by anyone, yet.

Voice : You don't have to strive and struggle for restoration of balance, you just have to become human beings, again. When the natural correction runs it’s course, Humanity will find itself where it needs to be. 

Me : Are you implying we could have more upheavals coming our way in the coming years ?  Like more lives lost, destruction, natural calamities, wars, etc ? 

Voice : It's called the Circle of Life. It is the natural order of the highest Love that will renew, revitalise and rejuvenate all of creation.  

Will you ever consider yourself healed, awakened and revived if a part of you is dying or struggling to survive ? How can you imagine to thrive, if a part of you isn’t equally thriving ? 

All living things on this planet, are part of a single, all-encompassing consciousness. It is this consciousness, that makes your planet capable of supporting life, while your near neighbours in the solar system are barren and lifeless.

This is why I said that the best way to gauge your own evolution is to look at nature as a mirror. This is your honest and truthful state. 

Me : Think our woes have been our disconnection with nature. 

Voice : If you were connected with your own Self, nature would become an inseparable part of your existence and your life would be in a natural rhythm.

Few months ago, you felt and sensed a large event in the world to take place, which would halt your world. Do you know why you felt this ? 

Me : Yes, that happened when I was walking my dog alone, in the open grasslands during sunset and suddenly a strange calmness emitting from the sun, clouds, wind and birds began to speak the same frequency. And, that is when it was known to me to anticipate and embrace what was certainly going to come. I rechecked all my plans and waited. This communion has always been in my life like between a watchful mother and a child.      

Voice : Because you are not separate from it. Not only do you know it, you feel it. Spending much time with nature, you have found your ally. The bond is that of unadulterated love and protection.    

Nature is a painting of the Creator reflecting your own existence, that can be your gateway to many mysteries, secrets, awakening and whispers from the Divine.       

Me : True. When will everyone know this ? 

Voice : When one awakens to feel God's love reverberating from every blade of grass.  

Me : And, what about our measures for Saving the Earth ? 

Voice : Don't worry about saving the Planet. Save yourselves. Rest of creation already exists in natural harmony.
