Listening to life as it occurs allows for harmony and in this space what’s not of the mind can arise; thoughts actually block this harmony. The silence is always there, but it’s not always listened to because of the noise between the ears. Most people are programmed to live visually without taking much time to truly listen and because of this you don’t hear. This visual living is why you get pulled around by the outer because listening to the silence underneath the visual hasn’t been developed. There’s no way you can fully understand life conceptually so you make up answers, but in the space of silence you can listen to what the moments of life have to say; listen to this silence and you will hear. Develop a listening meditation where you just sit with the sounds of the moment, add nothing take nothing away, just sit, listen and be with what arises.
Listening to life’s moments is so different than being controlled by the visual view. This is because through the visual a label of like or dislike is instantly applied and attachment follows. This is the point where the visual gains control and as this occurs the silence of the moment is missed. This is the beginning of how our stories are created, it’s because the space of each moment will be filled with something and it will either be a story or silence. Learning to listen to what occurs in each moment is a skill few develop and until it becomes the primary way life is viewed, the visual will continue to keep you in bondage as the outer control doesn’t allow life to be listened to…
