That Silent Space
Contemplation, in its core essence, dismantles the noise within. It's a journey through various paths, each leading to a singular revelation: the inadequacy of our usual thinking in fostering love and connection. Think of it as an upgrade, a shift into a silence that births a profound openness to Presence. Even amid bustling sounds, contemplation unveils an ontological silence—a deep interiority where Presence resides. It's the silence within the clamor, the sea in which we navigate, often unnoticed.
That's where practice steps in. Non-silence is 'dualistic thinking'—the separation of all into opposing binaries. We've been trained to excel in this, mistaking it for education. And the wise caution against this divisive judgment. This dualistic thinking dominates much discourse today, splitting moments, shunning the unknown. It lacks humility, patience, and the essence of contemplation. Contemplative practice, on the other hand, liberates us from this division, fostering contentment long enough for lessons in life's partial darkness. It's a process, laden with mistakes, yet rich in learning. This state is beautiful beyond distinctions, beyond comprehension.
Contemplation guides, shielding our minds and hearts from the sway of emotions and fixated thoughts. In this mindset, we might feel momentarily powerless, greeted by a profound silence. It's in that quietude that purpose reveals itself. Embrace contemplation; it's not about choosing sides but dwelling in a mindful, heartful equilibrium. It's about standing guard against the dominance of fleeting emotions and thoughts. And in that silent space, you'll discover your path.
May the depth of contemplation dismantle the noise within
and lead you along diverse paths,
unveiling the inadequacy of divisive thinking.
Find solace in the silence within life's clamor,
embracing the profound openness to Presence
as you navigate the unseen seas.
Let contemplation be your guide,
fostering resilience amid dualistic divides,
empowering you to discover purpose in the quiet expanse,
beyond fleeting emotions, and within mindful equilibrium.
