WHAT IS THE SILENCE EXPERIENCED IN MEDITATION?
A lot of people consider silence to be a frightening experience, an absence of sound; and so they will fill their ears with music, the tv, video games, the radio, MP3s etc. This unfortunate misconception comes about because most people have never experienced the silence – but silence is not emptiness – it is the silence of the outer material world, yes, it is not something artificial, but a different reality that is present in everyone, but most never tune into it because they never look inside themselves. The eternal silence at the heart of your being is the soundless music of the spheres, permeated with the fragrance of angels. If you can sit in the silence of your own being, you will experience truth, beauty, love and goodness as your inner senses are realigned to a different reality.
