ok, tazz, but this seems a little rushed to me, not sure I was prepared for it right now, we may need to "flesh this one out"....
Internal Silence. The Dialogue of the Mind. Thinking. The action and totality of our self importance. Constant observation, interpretation, and reaffirmation of our world and our lives, and our personalities we construct to interact with everything and everyone, including ourselves.
The power of our interpretation system enables us to perceive specific to our organism, and our internal dialogue assembles, supports and perpetuates this process. The world consists of only that which we are capable of observing and assembling relevant to our currently enabled sensory abilities. The blind man has a world that is surely lacking, in would that he could see, his ability to perceive increases, and so would his idea of the world itself increase. Now, being blind certainly increased the scope of his perception in other sensory areas, and may have even enabled his use of sensory capabilities those with sight are unlikely to utilize, but it is certain that when provided the usage of sensory capabilities beyond the ones currently enabled and utilized, ones world, and ones perspective, expands beyond its current definition, usually making the previous one invalid in the process.
Definitions change as knowledge increases, and perspective is expanded as a result of this, and consequently the scope and ability of our awareness to observe and interpret the world and oneself also expands and increases. Since we already know that if we knew more than we do, we would think differently, it only makes sense to only think about wanting to know more, realizing that at every moment, AT BEST, we are operating under an incomplete and inconclusive idea about the world and ourselves. Since the world is now a valid mystery, one now must regard oneself as a mystery within a mystery.
Attention. Yours, mine, societies. The things we choose to place it upon makes up our world, usually consisting of things that we have agreed with others exist in our environment. Items, ideas, events and even potential circumstance fills the void in our skulls incessantly and implacably. If we place our full attention on negative things, the world becomes a negative place, so on and so forth, it is the power of our attention itself that defines the objects and ideas of our world, and henceforth our ideas of ourselves and our beliefs in our abilities to observe and comprehend it.
The Luminous Shell. The Egg. Our total mass of energy as expressed as an organism within a Greater total mass of energy. Masses of energy composed of and moving within the totality of mass of all energies combined. The combination of masses does not comprise the totality of the Mass, they are comprised of it. We are comprised of it. That's not air you are breathing, it is a chemical substance, contained within, composed by and consisting of the energy of the greater Mass.
Odd that we know that there is no such thing as empty space, and the closest we have come to observing this is the space between the atoms themselves, all else then being comprised of same said atoms. dark matter, anti-matter, grey matter, heh, it's all of it just an active pot of boiling energy with little bubbles of energy growing and moving inside it, endlessly recycling itself and evolving itself in an utter state of perpetual fluctuation.
When total internal silence is achieved after gaining control of self-importance's domination over the internal dialogue, gaining valuable energy in the process, one can then proceed to groom the sensory ability of perceiving the energy of the universe as it flows. When this sense is enabled, the human being appears to the perceiver as a luminous egg, a bright ovoid sphere of bristling luminous fibres, fibres that are aware of themselves and the luminous fibres that correspondingly comprise the totality of the universe. We are made from these material fibres of energy just as we are legitimately made from the components of the periodic table, we are comprised of the world around us, just as the world around us is comprised of itself, ad infinitum. We can choose to comprehend the world in its organically observable manner, or in it's energetically observable manner. To choose the first entails a sharply focused, limited view of the world, while the latter provides a much more comprehensive and expansive observation of the universe, which can only enrich the detail and definition of the organically observable world, which, unlike the first, does not exclude but enriches the total view of both worlds, which is just one world, with many ways to perceive it. Being aware of all choices is critical before one can choose a valid preference.
We can only observe the universe as it is when we stop telling ourselves how it is, and allow it to reveal Itself to us. Placing our full attention upon internal silence is the path and the gate, beyond which we continue our journey to the secret......
