Silence: What's Good About It?

I Didn't Understand Silence

May 26, 2025

What’s so good about silence? That's pretty much how I felt, before my Journey to Awareness began.

At the time, I was living alone and I thought I had to fill the silence with sound, even if it was only background music from the CD player. Often, I turned the TV on low and went into my room to write, comforted by the quiet voices from the other room.

Months later, when my guide introduced himself as the source of my whispers from childhood to the present, my priorities began to change. I wanted to know if this ‘guide’ was also the source of my premonitions as well as my precognitive experiences and intuitions.

I was encouraged to meditate. Find a comfortable place, find my center and quiet ego, mind and thoughts. Be in the silence, allow it to grow and become one with it. Open my heart to my feelings and I will know the answers to my questions, because I am what I seek.

Now I had another new question. How could I be what I seek?

I always had a flurry of questions for my guide when he made himself known. His answer was always the same, "So many questions, be patient. You have the answers inside you. Go within. Find your center and quiet mind, emotions and ego. They are not needed in the Silence.

Dare to open your heart to your feelings and know you are a part of conscious truth and Universal Oneness and you will know your answers.”

For many years, Robert has meditated with music and crystals. I've tried it multiple times and I don't know why I can't, except maybe it just isn't for everyone. Maybe I have adult ADHD and can't sit still that long.

Or maybe the music is part of the outside world I need to quiet ... but when I try, I can't seem to find my center and I certainly can't quiet my mind and thoughts. Within just a few minutes, I find myself ticking off an invisible list of things to do: people I should call, things I need at the grocery, or about anything else.

I remember I used to be very good at daydreaming and I'm told daydreaming is also a form of meditation. But for me to sit in a comfy chair in the dark in total silence just didn’t work for me either. We all have to find our own way to meditate.

Where I finally found my silence was while lying in bed one night. As usual, I was readying myself for sleep by letting go of the day’s worries and activities. All thought was quieted and I was just beginning to feel myself ready for sleep.

Suddenly behind my closed eyelids, I saw a beautiful swirling of color. It was the palest shade of blue, and like a cloud, it spread until it filled my entire inner vision. I had found my silence —that’s what works for me.

I could hear and feel the silence around me and it was so intense, it was deafening. Then slowly, it enveloped me and I was the silence and it was me. I had a sense I was floating and I was filled with peace and an overwhelming sense of love and being part of everything, even the air.

Everything is as it should be and the silence was the magic it all came from. I was part of the Oneness. I had come Home.

Namaste.
