WEEK 99

God, what is your guidance for me today?

Begin the day in silence.

Even as you read this, notice the

silence in you and around you, underneath

the chatter of the mind and the noise

of the world.

Today, let silence accompany you.

Let it sit in your consciousness

as the filter with which you live the day.

It is the doorway to Divinity…

to peace and wisdom.

It is the ever-present sanctuary of the

Holy Spirit and the threshold

of enlightenment and illumination.

It is the storehouse of calm,

where strength of spirit is offered.

It is where faith waits patiently.

Today, let silence be your companion.

In doing so you will be met by

Divinity’s gentle Presence and immersed

in the quiet, all-powerful love of 

The One Who Loves.

Evening Reflection 

This guidance worked. Silence and I went through the day together… consciously; and its gifts were exactly what was told. I never felt out of sorts and always felt close to wisdom, calm and even grace. To be conscious of silence is to be able to enter it with intention. It was like being in a safe place; akin to being in a fortress. In the midst of the loudest, most talkative settings, I could feel the silence surrounding me, even while allowing me to interact. I could feel its expression as calm, as personal strength… even as confidence.

Science has told us that most of the mind is silent anyway. To be conscious of its presence can be a great comfort, as it was for me today.

What was your experience?
