“Go deeply into the urge to be silent and not the mental interference of how, where and when. If you follow silence to its source you can be taken by it in a moment.” SilenceMeditationStillnessNondualityRetreatVedantaContemplative PrayerPure PrayerPrayerfulness Book:Who Am I?: The Sacred Quest Source: Who Am I?: The Sacred Quest
“Deep inquiry leads to contemplation, or prayer. Through dedicated contemplation we can attune to consciousness, the light which constitutes all phenomena. This light is our intrinsic nature. Our being is always shining. Our real nature is openness, listening, release, surrender without producing or will. Prayer or contemplation is welcoming free from projection and expectation. It is without demand and formulation. It invites the object to unfold in you and reveals your openness to you. Live with this opening, this vastness. Attune yourself to it. It is love. Ardent contemplation brings you to living meditation so ultimately they are one.” LoveSilenceOnenessStillnessNondualityPresenceVedantaContemplative PrayerPure PrayerPrayerfulness Book:Who Am I?: The Sacred Quest Source: Who Am I?: The Sacred Quest
“When you become responsive to the solicitations of silence, you may be called to explore the invitation. This exploration is a kind of laboratory. You may sit and observe the coming and going of perceptions. You remain present to them but do not follow them. Following a thought is what maintains it. If you remain present without becoming an accomplice, agitation slows down through lack of fuel. In the absence of agitation you are taken by the resonance of stillness.” SilenceMeditationMindfulnessInner PeaceOnenessContemplationNondualityVedantaContemplative Living Book:Who Am I?: The Sacred Quest Source: Who Am I?: The Sacred Quest

“In listening and stillness there is nobody who is still, and this stillness doesn't refer to any object; it is absolutely objectless; it is our real nature.” StillsRealSilenceObjectsListeningStillness Author:Jean Klein
“You are primal awareness. Life is only primal awareness. Between two thoughts or two perceptions you are. You know moments in your life when a thought completely disappears into silence, but still you are.” KnowsStillsTwoMomentsLife IsSilenceAwarenessPerceptionDisappearPrimal Author:Jean Klein
