Magdi‘s comment, regarding
Stillness & Silence
Dear Holger,
Concerning the usage of the terms
stillness
and
silence
in non-duality,
the following should be noticed:
In non-duality,
we speak of
stillness
and
silence
in absolute terms.
In other words,
non-duality refers to the
stillness
and
silence
which have no opposite.
From the perspective of mind,
this is difficult to comprehend
since we usually refer to
stillness
and
silence
in their relative sense.
There is such a thing as the
stillness
of the body
and such a thing as the
silence
of the body
(no talking)
and the
silence
of the mind
(no thinking).
But that is not what
the non-dual understanding
is referring to.
There is an underlying
silence
which lies beyond the
silence
of the body
or the
silence
of the mind
and which does not depend on
the
silence
of the body nor the
silence
of the mind.
This
silence
is the underlying reality
of the world body mind,
the uninterrupted universal
silence
out of which, to which and in which
all creation manifests.
The non-dual teaching is about
the revelation of this absolute
silence.
Love,
Magdi
