Escape the Insanity of the Mind

How does one expect to hear the Eternal voice through the day-to-day sounds of this world? My mind would be so busy jumping from one thought to the next, even filling my head with tunes that wouldn’t stop going around and round in my mind. Then I would calm the mind and I could hear the birds singing, leaves rustling, the wind blowing, cars in the distance, squirrels scurrying. It was amazing. A new world opened up to me. It was the world I walked through every day and never noticed the awesomeness.

Practice daily stopping and listening. Tune in to the world around you. Stop escaping into mind thoughts and listen – one may even hear the whispering of God.

Silence and fasting from information (electronic visual/auditory loading), is beneficial. It helps one view life from a different perspective, gives distance from the seeming bombardment of visual and auditory stimuli.

Be silent and go to a place where there are no words spoken, seen, or even thought. Pay attention to the mind and let words slip quietly through until one is at complete peace. Only in the silence can we connect with the energies of our world and hear other voices. Rest in the Eternal One and listen only to Spirit. The mind’s natural state is one at rest, at one with All.

When one must speak, choose words that reflect the sacredness of life. Speak only when what you have to say improves on silence. Think only if the thought improves the silence of your mind. Communicate with another to teach, guide, or show love. Use words as a last resort.
