Silence is the language of the soul

It is well known that primitive man at first expressed himself with gestures and signs. And this process is repeated throughout the history of mankind. The oldest alphabet in the world - Devanagari does not contain a single dental letter. By itself, speech does not have the power that is contained in the power of gestures. Esotericists (people with developed intuition) argue that Devanagari was the primitive language spoken by our ancestors, the Hyperboreans. Devanagari is believed to be the language of the soul, which can be remembered by regularly practicing stillness (silence). Isn't that why the Eastern sages Muni prefer to remain silent all their lives, and in the 6th century BC, one of the conditions for those who wanted to enter the famous school of the greatest Greek thinker Pythagoras to become a philosopher was the requirement - not to utter a word for 5 years (!). Pythagoras himself believed that silence is the highest state of mind compared to speech. When people took a vow of silence, they did not contradict the surrounding world in any way, on the contrary, they immersed themselves in it. From such voluntary loneliness peace and harmony come to the soul.

In the East, it is argued that initially people did not use speech, only direct vision of self-evident perception, through the senses (nothing was replaced by dead concepts). Despite the fact that there was no language, all people understood each other through the vision of a common reality and synchronous activity in it (personal experience).

No wonder many Saints tried not to speak, but to remain silent. So, for example, Saint Benois punished the monks who observed the silence of speech, "if necessary, express yourself only with gestures."

The development of empty speech has replaced real things and the experience of direct vision, awareness of reality. People gradually lost true knowledge, entangled in concepts and terms.

soteriki are sure that initially everyone lived on the basis of inner knowledge. All living beings spoke the same language, the language of the soul, silence, understanding each other at a glance; before there were no scriptures, there were no books; all scriptures were written later. People didn't have to be told, "Don't eat this, don't eat that. This is good, this is bad, ”people were aware of all this, since they had a developed right-sided hemisphere, which is responsible for the database of higher consciousness. Initially, the soul directly received the knowledge that was given by the God-Absolute, penetrating the entire Universe. Previously, a person did not need to think. People did not think, did not doubt, they knew what was right and what was wrong. The connection with conscience and intuition was perfect. But ever since a person went the way of developing the left hemisphere, the connection with intuition has become dull, the right hemisphere has ceased to function fully. The invention of different languages is a consequence of the degradation of mankind, the cause of the split of people. This truth is hidden in the biblical story of Babylon.

The most ancient pyramids, dolmens, statues of Easter Island, as well as numerous archaeological finds indicate the fact that 200 million years ago humanity was at a much higher spiritual level, which made it possible to build huge and complex structures in unity, in silence.
Breath is life. Speaking is a process of impaired breathing leading to premature death. Constant silence and communication at the level of gestures allowed our ancestors to live in harmony with the outside world, as well as save a huge supply of internal energy. Therefore, our ancestors Humans lived much longer than us, as is said in all the Holy Scriptures of the world.

AT 1750 Jean-Jacques Rousseau convincingly proved that the development of the mind, speech, the progress of technical sciences and arts, brought people incalculable harm and thanks to this heretical thinking gained fame. "Our souls have been corrupted as the sciences and arts have improved." The main trouble of the current civilization is the development of thinking and speech and the lack of understanding at the level of the heart, the level of the soul. Each of us hardly understands another person, hardly feels someone else's grief, as a result, many live in chaos. People do not feel each other's pain, so they have to express, complain about it to others. But at the same time, most of us remain immune to other people's grief and suffering.

An active, constant process of thinking and a passion for conversations, artificial inventions - this is a disease of modern people who have lost their peace, their natural being. It should be noted that all the greatest discoveries of our civilization were made not in the process of stormy thinking and discussion, but in silence, in a dream, in insight, as if scientists were remembering the long-forgotten old. So Dmitri Mendeleev had a dream about the periodic table of elements; chemist Friedrich Kekule realized in a dream the cyclic structure of the benzene molecule, Niels Bohr - the structure of the atom, and Albert Einstein, according to contemporaries, made his many discoveries in a state of silent mind, relaxing in the bath.

Esotericists argue that initially a person was given all the knowledge necessary for life, just like animals that do not know diseases and medicines now have them. And each person can remember everything that he needs for life. But for this it is necessary to develop the right-sided hemisphere, more often staying in silence, a state of silence of speech and thoughts.

What led to the development of oral speech?

● Loss of presence in the present moment.

The development of speech has led to the loss of the present moment “Here and Now”, which implies listening to intuition, mindfulness of oneself and caring attitude towards others in the present.
● The emergence of irresponsibility.

A person mainly uses speech to shift responsibility for their problems from themselves to the shoulders of others. Think about how many times you use speech every day to ask others to do something for you, instead of silently completing a simple task for you.

● Sabotage."The word is silver - silence is golden." It has long been known that words can hurt more than an evil deed. A word can offend, frighten, inspire. With the development of oral speech, people began to use mainly swear words, leading to the complete degradation of the mind. Scientists have proven that swear words destroy chromosomes. With a change in the nucleus, the quality of the cell of the human body changes. Hence physical and mental illnesses.

“A sharp sword hurts deeply, but much deeper is an evil speech.”. (Buechler)

● A distortion of reality. Each person lives in his own world. Based on the attitude towards ourselves and the surrounding space, we build the reality in which we live. Silence allows you to preserve the purity of reality, because when a person exaggerates, is cunning, says something that he does not know or has not verified, he can cause serious harm to himself and others.
● Waste of time

Many people began to suffer from the disease: “I think one thing, I say another, I do another.” A lot of time is wasted on remembering the past (gossip, disputes, evaluation, judgments of past events). A lot of time is wasted talking about the future (promises, plans, hopes). “Throughout my life I have become convinced that talking with friends most and most inconspicuously takes away time; friends are the great robbers of time...”(F. Petrarch)

People are accustomed to wasting time talking, have become such lovers of idle talk that when they are alone in the house, they like to go out just to find someone to talk to. And when they have no one to talk to, they talk to themselves, to the objects around them. If I could explain to them how much they lose energy with every word they say.

What is the benefit of practicing silence?

● Life Extension

In ancient scriptures, breathing is called "Prana" - life. Breath is the chain that connects the body, heart and soul together. Speaking is a violation of the breath. When a person speaks, he takes many more breaths than he would otherwise have to. Accordingly, the duration of a person's life depends on the frequency of his breathing. By talking we take a lot from our lives. A day of silence means a week or more of life extension, and a day of conversation means a week less life. There have been mystics in India since ancient times who never spoke, although they did all kinds of other things. These mystics lived much longer than we live now: three hundred, five hundred years or more.

● Restoration of mental health and harmony with the outside world

H a person who keeps silence gains peace, strength and happiness. In silence there is wisdom, freedom, balance, joy and well-being. Silence allows you to remain in harmony with the outside world.

Any censure, judgment of someone can cause the destruction of this harmony. But any judgment generates a response from others, so the ancients argued: “Do not evaluate, do not judge others, and you will not be judged, for by the degree you evaluate others, you will be evaluated the same.”

When a person is silent, he makes fewer mistakes, because the more you speak, the more likely it is to make mistakes. A silent person attracts enemies less. They are often just waiting for some word to cling to a person.

"Brevity is the soul of wit". Silence helps to avoid verbal garbage, unnecessary words. It is better to remain silent than to say something stupid that you will later regret for a long time. “Silence is an argument that is almost impossible to refute.”(Böll)
● Energy storage

All living things come out of silence and return to silence. And God-Absolute is always at the same time

stays in a state of peace and quiet, like an eternal observer. And a person is able to realize the Creator, become one with Him only in silence, which allows one to accumulate higher energies – awareness, vigilance, attentiveness, responsibility, calmness.

"Most human interaction comes down to the exchange of words, the objects of the thought realm. It is vital that at least a little silence and calmness be brought into close relationships. No relationship can flourish without the sense of space that comes with silence. Meditate together or together in spend time in silence in nature.Whether walking, sitting in a car, or staying at home, make your silent being together calm and comfortable.Silence does not need or require to be created.Just be receptive to the silence that is already there, for usually it sometimes obscured by mental noise."(Eckhart Tolle)

● Saving an inferior experience

“Every word without action is worthless and empty.” (Demosthenes)

Silence allows you to keep your inner secrets, that which concerns only yourself. In fact, each person must learn to keep the inferior experience he receives. This allows you to protect others from delusions, harmful actions, false ways of thinking, development. A person has the right to share any information with other people only when he is absolutely sure of the correctness of the experience gained and has repeatedly verified it.

The mass media (newspapers, magazines, televisions) mainly transmit inferior experiences that lead people to the wrong way of thinking. The same thing happens in the field of orthodox science and medicine. How can a doctor give advice to a patient when he himself does not know how to cure himself?

“What is difficult? - Know yourself. What is easy? - Giving advice to others. (Thales)

If a person talks a lot about his sins, he gradually changes for the better, but if a person talks about achievements and benefits, nothing will remain of them.

How to keep silence?

R It is useful for working people to practice silence daily, for some time, and for longer periods on weekends. Your friends and family members should not disturb you during this time. They will know that during a certain period you keep silence. Find yourself a secluded place where no one will disturb you. The energy of speech should be sublimated into spiritual energy and used for meditation. Only then will you enjoy silence and inner spiritual strength. During the period of silence, you should not read newspapers, write long texts and express thoughts with hand signs. You shouldn't laugh at this time either. All this breaks the silence. Learn to enjoy inner peace! Feel how you benefit greatly from keeping silence, become more calm, filled with inner strength and joy. Only then will you enjoy keeping silence.Forced silence will be an imitation - coercion makes restless and gloomy. Forced silence is a battle with the mind. This is an effort. The need for silence must come from within, naturally. When you stick to sincerity, silence will come by itself. Only then comes absolute peace and tranquility.

Speech disciplinein everyday life.As a preparation for silence, it is useful to discipline speech.Try to weigh the words. Strictly avoid long and unnecessary conversations, all kinds of vain discussions and disputes. Move away from this kind of society as far as possible. Watch every word - that is the greatest discipline. Words are powerful - use them carefully. Don't let the tongue rebel. Control the words before they pass through your lips.Speak little, learn to be silent. Loud words cause exhaustion of the tongue. Use simple words and save energy. Devote more and more of your time to inner peace, meditation and contemplation.Clear your mind and meditate. Be steadfast and know that God is present in you. Subdue boiling thoughts and agitated emotions. Immerse yourself in the innermost corners of your heart and rejoice in the magnanimous silence.

The soul does not speak in words. The great mystery, the language of the soul, is silence. Any affirmation is truly stupid, for it is always opposed by negation.

There is no wiser silence. The one who spoke about the beauty of one - caught everyone in ugliness, and who glorified wisdom in name and form, he limited the infinite to stupidity. The wise one does not say yes, for things are comprehended by changes within their space-ego (by expanding the boundaries of oneself). Silence is the Supreme Truth, silence is the language of the Universe. The practice of silence leads to the realization of the true Self, merging with the Absolute and dissolving in Eternity….

If you've ever been in a situation where you need to get the attention of an entire class or people, you must have noticed that the best thing to do is to keep quiet.

When a teacher or speaker is silent, the audience begins to take an interest in him. The lecturer's silence sends a signal: something has happened. And the listeners will try to focus to understand why the communication has stopped.

This applies not only to public speaking, but also to everyday conversations. When we are silent, people concentrate and we capture their attention.

Sometimes we say too many unnecessary words, we explain ourselves too much. If the question is met, it means that it is the best answer to it. We can also soften the harshness of a negative response with silence. By not saying "no" directly, we avoid being rude and verbose. Perhaps silence as an answer is the best way out of a difficult situation.

Another example: someone said something that we do not agree with or that we find offensive. By restraining ourselves and keeping silent in response, we send a powerful signal: “I don’t like it, I don’t agree with you.”

Silence engages body language

And gestures are often more expressive than spoken words. Facial expressions, gestures, eye contact and tone of voice speak volumes. The ability to decipher and correctly understand body language can be a powerful tool to use in everyday communication: to connect with others and build strong relationships.

Silence is an expression of compassion

There are moments in life when silence is tantamount to expressing sympathy and signals that you understand the other person.

Sometimes the right words just don't exist.

Pain or grief is difficult to soothe by talking. But to show how we care about another and worry about him is very simple with the help of silence.

Silence is a courtesy

We are constantly surrounded by information noise. on the radio and TV, music in elevators, shops and offices, notifications on smartphones and tablets… Moreover, the people around us also do not let up and are constantly talking. The feeling that we have to communicate for the sake of communication as such, in order not to be excluded from social life, is breathtaking.

We are fighting the information noise around. And when we keep our word, we frantically try to cram as much information as possible into a minimum amount of time.

But when we are silent, we show the interlocutor that we listen to him carefully and respect every word he says.

Thus, silence is a powerful tool that can make you a good speaker. Silence is a great power that must be used.

Practice being silent.

1. Without interrupting the story,
I'm breaking the circle!
I no longer believe in conscience -
She's not a friend in this...
How to avoid fatigue...
Could it be a miracle?
Just don't need pity
These useless torments!

chorus:
LOVE WITHOUT REGRET I GIVE ...
SHE ALREADY AND SO ALMOST DOES NOT BREATHE!
IF I DON'T TALK TO YOU -
THIS IS BECAUSE YOU DON'T HEAR!
LOVE WITHOUT REGRET I GIVE ...
I BELIEVE IN THE INEVITABLE FAREWELL!
IF I DON'T TALK TO YOU -
BECAUSE YOU ARE SILENCE ITSELF!

2. Apparently it's a matter of pride ...
Pride is such a waste!
I didn't have the toughness
Take the last step...
I want to believe in the best:
Maybe just sleep?
Let me listen to you

3. And as if all these days did not exist ...
Each one lasts a thousand years...

Not in all these "yes" ... but in one of your "no"!

I tear circle!
I don't believe the conscience
This is not your friend...
How to avoid fatigue...
Perhaps the miracle of a sudden?

chorus:

It has already and so almost not breathing!

BECAUSE YOU SELF SILENCE!

2. Apparently the matter of pride ...
Pride of such a trifle!

Why didn't you say?

3. And if not all of these days were ...
Each of which lasts for a thousand years ...
You know, I believe it is much more soon ...
Not all the "yes" ... and one is your "no"!
