I also understand (at heart level) the words you write. <br /><br />Stillness and silence, contemplative reading to get me there, sometimes just pure discipline through all the "trying" and sometimes, in the attempts over and over to "try" to do it right... sometimes I just sit and find myself in the sweet spot filled with the spirit, and rejoice! :)Jess Mistress of Mischiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766848582303523764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768410634619342671.post-5196279888006922662011-11-01T06:59:16.896-05:002011-11-01T06:59:16.896-05:00Beautiful, Steve.

Where is God...The sound of silence, just beautiful.<br />Where is God?<br />1 King 19:11<br /> "Go out and stand before me on top of the mountain, the Lord said to him. Then the Lord passed by and sent a furious wind that split the hills and shattered the rocks—but the Lord was not in the wind. The wind stopped blowing, and then there was an earthquake—but the Lord was not in the earthquake.12 After the earthquake there was a fire—but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the soft whisper of a voice."<br />To hear that soft whisper, there's got to be inner and outer silence.<br />Maybe that's we're making such turbulence all around the clock. We want to shut that soft voice out.<br /><br />Enjoy your sabbatical.Enjoy love and life at its full with all senses open wide.Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768410634619342671.post-46764081474101539232011-10-31T19:25:59.551-05:002011-10-31T19:25:59.551-05:00SUSAN DEBORAH:

Wish I knew how to mute those 'head-voices' also. I understand using a mantra helps (and it has helped me, BTW!) <br /><br />But an empty brain SHOULD be a simple matter for a brainless idiot like meeeee! (It ain't!)<br /><br />CES:<br />Oh! You DID get over here, busy as you are. I'm taking an intermission from blogging (but will read...maybe even 'comment' (HA!), so will see you maybe on Face Book!<br /><br />SWEETER POETRY:<br />The harder I've "tried" to conjure a "concept" of God, the more I've failed. That meditation stuff seems to work best, just let the ideas float in and out (as you suggest?) and realize He is everywhere. That might solve the concept thing.<br /><br />Then: On a 'good' day--grin!, I just wish to "be" with Him, without the sweat, strain and stress. That works, then goes away (sigh!).
