"Ah, Soul, awaken! Open the innermost door of silence,

 wherein lies God-consciousness."  Paramahansa Yogananda



" Identifying with Spirit, we enter into Truth. At this point, like a child learning to swim, who for the first time, trusts the water to support him and finds that he cannot sink, we leave behind the finite intellect and, trusting our intuitions, learn the Truth through direct Knowing from Spirit to Spirit."
Henry Thomas Hamblin

"Truth is ever expressed in Paradox"

                      Lao  Tsze


Silence longs to rest in sound
                      Sound longs to rest in silence...

"Silence is the element in which great things fashion


themselves."       Thomas Carlyle

"Be still, and know that I AM God." Psalm 46

"I believe that the most proper mode of venerating the Great Principle of Principles is to contemplate It in profound silence; and that in worship It should be celebrated as the God of all Gods, the Unity of all Unities, The Good of all Goodness, the Beauty above all Beauty, the Truth in and beyond all Truth."

Thomas Taylor

"The very best and utmost attainment in this life is to remain still and let God Act and Speak in you."

Meister Johannes Eckhart

"Behold, I have shown you the power of silence, how thoroughly it heals - how fully pleasing it is to God. Know it is by silence that the Saints grow...because of silence that the power of God dwelt in them and because of silence that The Mysteries of God were known to them...

SILENCE WILL UNITE YOU TO GOD HIMSELF

The Desert Fathers

"The Gods lead and perfect all things in a silent path by Their very Being and fill them with Good."     Proclus

"Language is inadequate. The Gods sing a hymn of silence and I am silently singing."

Nag Hammadi texts

"The language that God hears best is the silent language of
 
Love."

St John of The Cross

"What is to be done, O Moslems ? for I do not recognize

myself.

I am neither Christian, nor Jew, nor Gabr, nor Moslem,

I am not of the East, nor of the West, nor of the land, nor    

of

the sea;

I am not of nature's mint, nor of the circling heavens.

I am not of earth, nor of water, nor of air, nor of fire.

I am not of the empyrean, nor of the dust, nor of existence

nor of entity.

I am not of India, nor of China, nor of Bulgaria, nor of

Saqsin;

I am not of the kingdom of Iraqain, nor of the country of

Khorasan.

I am not of this world, nor of the next,

nor of paradise, nor of hell;

I am not of Adam, nor of Eve, nor of Eden and Rizwan.

My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless;

Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the

Soul of the Beloved.

I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds

are ONE;

ONE I seek, ONE I know, ONE I see, ONE I call...

I am intoxicated with Loves cup,

the two worlds have passed out of my ken...

I am so drunken in this world,

That except of drunkeness and revelry

I have no tale to tell..."

Jalal al-Din Rumi

"Not for a moment did he cease from listening to music

and dancing:... he became intoxicated by Love.

Twas not the wine of the grape: the illumined soul drinks only
 
the wine of Light."

 Sultan Walad
