I have been after Consciousness, I Am, “being, consciousness, bliss” for a while now. It’s an act of Grace as far as I am concerned. I have enjoyed glimpses, but the conditioning of the “me, myself and I” has always come back with a vengeance. The inner silence is different. One can consciously step into this state. It’s a falling into a silence that is always around.
Many of my spiritual friends have advocated a monitoring of thoughts, feelings, and our actions as a method towards experiencing Consciousness. I don’t deny that being mindful and a certain vigilance concerning the “me, myself and I” involvement is warranted, but I also noticed that it burns psychic energy—the “body, mind, world” matrix is bound to strike back.
Is this inner silence the observer that many mention? The observer is not separate from the conditioned “me,” though the inner voice puts a spiritual spin on it. In contrast, in silence there is no evaluation of what is going on, no feeling of looking down on events. The silence takes the wind out of the “body, mind, world” matrix. Without thoughts there is no identification.
