It doesn’t matter who is right.
What matters is what we can live with, what we believe, what we can do to lessen the burden on ourselves and others.
The fear of the unknown is vast, which is why we remained married to the past, no matter how scary, and why we skip over today to tomorrow in hopes of what might be.
What truly happens when we stand where we are? When we breath and do not venture anywhere but where we are? How difficult is it to quiet the active mind and in quieting the active mind, is there a mind left at all? What is there then?
~silence~
I needed to read your response to the Open Letter to God to understand this comment: “silence”.
In this moment, I get it.
Wow i didnt realize the depths of the last paragraph of your post. That is it for me, That is were I want to be.
~ The question is: What is your relationship to the mystery? Are you defending yourself from it? Are you making love to it? Are you living in it? These are all different stages of the process.~ Ram Dass
at that moment, in silence, free from the limitations of our mind. Just standing still… breathing,
Breathing is active.
Silence is active.
Is there a realm of non-active?
Physically, everything is active, all the time!
its not being active mentally or physically, i think, that i am concern with. Breathing is active, but if you dont breath you will die. Silence is active, because of thoughts? is that what you are refering to?
I think the realm of non-active exist,
it is a state of non-existent, not to be misunderstood with not to exist at all. But to exist in everything. Once you are there what is active you are everything.
I cannot play as if i am clear to this myself, although I feel it more than i can word it.
do you consider, Peace, Calmness, Completeness, Oness, Compassionate… do you see those quatilities as non-active? just curious.

I found this post to be interesting, and would like to know what your opinions are.
Ah, we are still thinking, but in thinking, we are active, yes?
Seriously, this is very thought provoking and would like time to breath with this one a bit more.
what do you mean when you say, “expanding the Universe?”
sorry, expansion of humanity..
Expansion of humanity in a nutshell is tapping into the energry around us that we presently know so little of, in terms of its powers to transcend who we are which would naturally transform what we perceive and experience as collective human beings.
Nice dialogue going on here… I am happy to simply listen and learn.
So humble.
could it be true?
You must have someting to add, divorce the ego, we can all figure that out later.
