“If you keep focusing, gradually thoughts will become quieter and quieter, gradually the images will disappear from the mind. What is happening is the kundalini energy begins to radiate and rise, it causes the mind to be quiet.” IfsMindEnergyCausesQuietHappeningsDisappearConcentration Author:Frederick Lenz
“I get lots of ideas when the lights go out at night and it gets very quiet. Sometimes they come when I first lie down to sleep; other times I wake up with an idea racing through my mind. But regardless of when an idea comes, I have made it a habit to get out of bed and write the idea down before it disappears into my dreams. You should do the same.” ShouldWritingMindFirstsMadeIdeasSometimesDreamLightLyingNightSleepHabitBedQuietWake UpDisappearMade ItRacing Book:Embrace the Struggle: Living Life on Life's Terms Source: Embrace the Struggle: Living Life on Life's Terms
“When I was at home, I wasn't shy. I was the clown at home, because I was loved. It was in the outside world that I was judged and I wasn't loved. That was very clear to me, that I wasn't loved. So I became very quiet. You know, those little girls you see in those pictures that look like they want to hunch, I was trying to disappear into my shoulder blades. The quietest person in the classroom, that was me. But that wasn't me at home.” KnowsWorldWantTryingLooksLittlesPersonsHomeGirlClearQuietDisappearShouldersShyJudgedClassroomClownBladesOutside WorldHunches Author:Sandra Cisneros
“Daily absorption in the physical actualities of nature is life as I need it to be: it means I am connected to such large things - sky, sea, hill, the vagaries of weather, the undeniable needs of animals - that I can disappear as a subject of interest, I can exist without self-consciousness. The city is a challenge for me, however thrilling a few days prove, for its insatiable overstimulation and the rarity of quiet. The city makes people bigger than they need to be.” PeopleMeanInterestChallengesAnimalQuietProveDisappearHillsInsatiableRarity Author:Tilda Swinton
“Meditation gives you two things: equanimity and creativity. And it does that by taking one from their conscious mind, where there's all that noise and chaos and so on, into the subconscious mind where there's quiet and where creativity emanates from. You have a mantra, and when you repeat it over and over again, all those thoughts go away because you shift them to that mantra. And then eventually that sound disappears, and then you're left not conscious or unconscious - you're left in this subconscious state, and by opening that up, first of all you get control of it.” GivingMindCreativityMeditationQuietConsciousChaosDisappearUnconsciousGoing AwaySubconsciousEquanimitySubconscious Mind Author:Ray Dalio

“We studied our angels for a few moments more, looking at where we had lain side by side in that sweet, quiet moment. I wished what I’d said was true, that we had truly left our mark on the mountain.

“Reading fiction is important. It is a vital means of imagining a life other than our own, which in turn makes us more empathetic beings. Following complex story lines stretches our brains beyond the 140 characters of sound-bite thinking, and staying within the world of a novel gives us the ability to be quiet and alone, two skills that are disappearing faster than the polar icecaps.” ThinkingWorldGivingMeanTwoImportantCharacterStoriesTurnsReadingSoundLinesAbilityBrainFictionNovelQuietSkillsComplexesFollowingDisappearFasterStayingBitesEmpatheticSound Bites140 CharacterReading Fiction Author:Ann Patchett
