The Land of Silence

God said:

However noisy the world may be, the traffic sounds, the shouts of children, the whistles of trains, loud music, banging drums, a deep silence runs beneath. The silence does not run. It is. It is silent regardless of the noise above. You reside in this land of silence. You have it. It is far more than a respite. It is the very basis of you.

The silence is not a retreat. It is your Source. You have this silence within you always. You are right here in the silence, and yet We speak of finding it. The silence found you long long ago. It birthed you. You have never been absent from this silence. We can call this silence Heaven.

This silence is more than the absence of noise. It is your very nature. This silence doesn't move. It makes no noise. And yet this is a most powerful level of Being. It is the most powerful level of all. It is the well from which you drink. It is the engine you run on.

From this silence, all gifts come. From this sack of silence over his shoulder, Santa Claus pulls out all the presents he gives to you.

From this ground of silence, all the flowers and plants grow, and grow high.

From this womb of silence from which you came, you grow to the heights that extend the dimensions of the world until boundaries on Earth disappear, and there are no boundaries. There is boundlessness. There are no limits. Limits are an impossibility. You cannot believe in limits forever. Limits can make all the noise they want, yet always they stop. Limits have to take a breath. They have to seep away. Noise has to go somewhere. Noise has to leave your ears, your heart, your eyes.

Limits are not love. We are speaking of a silence in which all is love. Nothing squirms here. All loves all here, and all is love and nothing but love. I, God, am here. I make no noise.

You do not swim here in the silence. You are the Silence. You are sound-proof, beloveds.

Silence is like the white snow that falls. You are a blanket of silence. Footsteps are not heard. All is silence here in the depths of you.

Silence is the scale. Noise is a scratching at the far end of the scale. Silence is music. Noise is noise and not music.

Even in the midst of noise, you can be in the Silence of yourself.

Consider silence as money in the bank. You can take out your silence as you will. It is yours. Go to the vault of yourself and take it out. Wrap it around you. Silence is a soothing balm. Pour it over yourself. The silence is yours. It belongs to you. It will stay with you.

It is an amazing thing that the more silence you touch with your fingertips, the more you hear what I say. This is not medicated silence. This is not forcing silence about yourself. I say again: Even in the midst of noise, this silence is yours. You don't have to pull it out. It already belongs to you. Silence is not an event you call to you. You are already that Silence. You are at peace.

What this means is that all you have to do is to listen for My Soundlessness. That is My Voice. From the Silence of My heart and yours, I speak to you always. Hush your fertile mind a minute. Now do you hear My silent whispers? Can you hear My love speaking to you now?

There are no justified resentments.

"There are no justified resentments. To resent someone is to fall under the illusion that they are the cause of our suffering. No one can die from a snake bite. It's the poison that kills....
We may receive the poison of an other’s words, or even just in a glance, but we don’t have to absorb it or allow it free passage through the veins of our consciousness.
The consequence of not absorbing the poison of others is we never experience enmity towards others. And when people notice that we have absolutely no enmity, it draws them close..., it builds trust and harmony.
It is only because the lion has no thought of killing the lamb that the lamb feels able to come so close..."
Never fight. Nothing is worth fighting for. Wisdom never fights, it waits patiently, speaks positively, releases easily, sees benefit in everything and envisions a future of abundance...
knowing that all needs will be met at the right moment, in the right way.
If we think life is a struggle we will always be struggling, If we think life is a breeze, our attitudes and actions will convey 2
lightness and easiness.
And that's what attracts everything we need, and much more.

The silence that God speaks

The silence that God speaks of in this Heavenletter is my north star. It is always with me. My awareness may often stray from it, but all I have to do is stop and listen for a moment and there it is again. I became aware of this permeating silence a few years ago. Since then, the most turbulent seas have not shaken my bearing. That silence infused my being with a quiet independent power. In it's depths I see there is no other. It is the essential nature of who I am.

Thank you Gloria for this beautiful message and powerful reminder.

Oracle Gloria speaks of boundless silence

Silence is beginning to creep back into the All of my knowing.
It is setting new boundries of how I am growing.
It is showing me how the River of Life is flowing.
The Word from Gloria's God tuned ear gives me a fresh direction.
In quietness my heart bends low and whispers "THANKS!"

Berit

Hi Berit and everyone else here.

I like silence too. Silence is very soft. And silence is dependable...just like Father. I like silence in the late night or the early morning or maybe even in the afternoon. When birds chirp, they break the silence...but only for a moment. But even when the silence is broken, it is never hurt. Silence is very quiet too. Do you hear it now? Silence is sweet. And silence is my friend. Do you like silence too? I think my Father and silence are the bestest of friends. You are my friends too! Love, Jimi.

Dearest brother, "I think my

Dearest brother,
"I think my Father and silence are the bestest of friends." expresses it excellently ! Silence is like breathing air, it is vital and sooooooooooooo beautiful.
so nice to see you here dearest Jimi, how are you ? travelling around still ? ... if you come to Italy I'd love to hug you for "real".
Love you.
Berit

Hi Berit

I'm not travelling now but live next to a river with Marie. Soon it will be time to get out my rubber boat and go for drifts and swims down and in the river. Course, now is a great time to go for a dip into the ocean of Father. So refreshing run the currents of my Fathers love. Oh yes....if I come to Italy, I look you up! So happy to be in my Father's house. Loving you, Jimi.

Jim Keller wears a cloak of silence

I can see right through you and your words. You don't talk about silence you live in it and wear it as your outter garment but also let it grace you inner essence to the degree of having a living contact with the One who IS silence. It's your realness that helps us know.

George

Your words are sweet George.

And so are you.

How have you been? It is a beautiful day here in Sedona. Truly peaceful. People seem to be becoming more peaceful. Course this could be my surmising...but why not surmise just to see what happens?

Back to silence, God is so deft at being quietly at the helm. I used to think I was in charge...but now, I'm content not really to know or even wonder much about that. I'm more content to be a passenger...on deck of course...taking in the sun and a cool breeze...and watching the miraculous come and go...and come again.

Also, and truly foremost: I love being still...like a flower...totally absorbed in this fragrance called Love. I am enjoying this bloom...and at the same time, thankfully, take no credit for it. It all belongs to Father. I love Father so much.

Father loves you of course....continually and thoroughly and very intimately. This I am sure of. This can be counted on. You are a bloom too...and your fragrance is felt...and truly touching.

Really George, the funnest this I know to do is to love and bless all that there is.

Have a beautiful day...Jim and Jimi too.

Jim and Jimi made me "Old Faithful"

I can't tell how high you made me rise, cause I haven't come down yet. Each word pulled a thread in the tapistry God's making of my life. You make my tapistry fragrant, and my day beautiful with your message of love. The richness that God gave you flows to me without restraint. It's too beautiful, I'm so blessed!

George

Oh yes George...

Thank you George for recognising and receiving the depth of Love...that is. Your open heart is showing and receives so much...and yet passes it on too. Like a potluck of the heart. We bring our favorite varieties of love...and share and commune with all of our offerings. And the offerings are always so much more than we can imagine or contain...Then, then the seepage and spillage happens. Love on the loose again...refusing to be defined, much less contained. Drink up everyone! Is there anything else....maybe even something that you have not yet thought of...that you, George, would like Love to do...for either yourself or someone else?. Love appears to be asking this question. Love, Jimi.

WOW! Awesome,

YOU do it all so well! You make me melt.

George

the sound silence makes

What a beautiful enchanting letter! It is lovely to read a letter like this, letting it resonate deep within mind and soul. I think God said somewhere that this resonance is the greatest value of reading Heavenletters.

I do not want to break anyone’s contemplative mood from this letter, but I think it beneficial to also approach it from the mind’s perspective.

The way God describes the silence is calming and feels oh so powerful, but what does He mean by silence? I searched the Heavnletters archives for letters that mention silence and found over a hundred that use the word silence as it is used here in this letter. Silence, in these letters, seems to stand for all things non-physical. Just like silence is the absence of physical sound, this "silence" is also the absence of physical light and touch and emotion. Silence is the source from which everything arises. It is the source of all of material creation and it is our source. It is the true Reality behind it all and from which it all emerges. God equates it with love and He equates it with our souls and He equates it with Himself. It is not any thing and it is everything.

The silence is not really absence. It is a kind of experience which cannot be described in our words since our words are derived from the physical aspects of our lives. While it is an experience that cannot be described, it can be felt directly and clearly.

I think I know what Santhan is speaking of in his comment. The only thing that comes close to it in my experience is when I am in the process of regaining normal awareness after being in deep meditation. When I am in this state of mind, something is going on that is not actual thoughts, but yet I am somehow aware and sensing a vast sense of peace and contentment. I feel a certain reluctance to re-enter the usual world and a desire to stay in this wonderful and enriching state of being. I relate this to the concept of silence, as I have been discussing here, since I am not aware of any sound or sight or sense of touch or even true mood or emotions (at least, as I usually feel them). Yet, SOMETHING is going on and it is a lovely state to be in. I can easily understand why some ascetics and monks will spend days at a time in this kind of conscious state of being.

I certainly do not know if this experience is directly related to the silence that this letter describes. I offer it as a possibility from my experience.

Chuck

The lingering melody is so beautiful

Chuck your words sing to me of the Sounds of Silence. They speak of moods too deep to understand properly with our human vocabulary but they do tell us of the mystery of consciousness reaching out and touching the essence of all.

George

Thanks George

It is SO good to have you back, George!

Silence

We should learn to improve on Silence, Otherwise, let us listen to the soundless music or hear the sound of one hand clapping.

This is the Peace of the Lord that surpasses all understanding.

Blessings.

Thomas PAFE wants to improve on silence

Listen carefully to his deep, rich words and seek earnestly to know the Peace of the Lord Thomas is inviting us all to enjoy. Thank you Thomas.

my favorite so far

I LOVE THIS ONE ON SILENCE. I NEEDED IT. I AM GRATEFUL TO HIGH HEAVEN FOR YOU AND IT. LOVE, MARY

I am grateful too Mary.

Yes...I am so grateful too. I think grateful is just one of many ways of being happy. Love, Jimi.

I speak to you always

There are Heavenletters like this one that I love immediately, that make me smile – like when I'm in the mountains, and for a moment I'm not sure whether I'm on my trail still or have lost it. I look around, walking in different directions, and sure enough – – ah, over there, that's where it continues. It's the feeling a Heavenletter like this one gives me: Ah, that's where I need to turn now. How wonderful that I'm told. How wonderful the direction of home is so clearly detectable.

A Heavenletter like this one is something I can return to again and again, its effect deepening still more each time, especially on a day when the Heavenletter of that day doesn't seem to hold much for me, at least not on that day.

The silence is not a retreat. It is your Source. This is interesting in terms of all the spiritual teachings I have heard and read about or practiced. Wherever you look, silence is thought of as a retreat, something you search for or establish throug practice. Well, you might as well look for your hands or try to establish the air that you breathe. What wholesale confusion .

Ah, silence, it is there, it is real, almost tangible like some sort of stuff around and within everything that appears to be non-silence.

We are speaking of a silence in which all is love. Yes, when I manage to be silent for a moment, neither speaking nor thinking, what's left is love. Which makes our yearning for love and searching for love a very funny thing indeed.

You do not swim here in the silence. You are the Silence. Wow, think of it. Silence isn't somewhere or something. It's this. This one.

And now for the most astounding part: It is an amazing thing that the more silence you touch with your fingertips, the more you hear what I say [...] all you have to do is to listen for My Soundlessness. That is My Voice. From the Silence of My heart and yours, I speak to you always. Today this suddenly opens up. I always thought that what God says has to be in something like words or at least something analogous to words, something that can be translated into words. As I see now, this can be the case but doesn't have to. The Soundlessness and the Silence can be perfectly intelligible without translation. How very wonderful.

Now do you hear My silent whispers? Can you hear My love speaking to you now?

Yes, I think I do now. Some of it.

Silence

Dear God,

Silence is drawing my attention. It is overtaking me, and there is some resistance that comes up, a sort of avoidance of Silence. The resistance does not touch the Silence, nor does it change it in any way. Silence Is. I Am. I open myself up to be used by Silence to reveal The Truth of Our Existence for All to see. Use me to share Truth in any and all ways that serve The Highest Good. Thank You God!
