With palms together,
Good Morning Everyone,
Quiet pervades even in the midst of a cacophony of noise. How? Ask, what is noise? Concordant, discordant, no matter. Noise is nothing but a sensory event we assign meaning to. Some meanings are wonderful; others, not so wonderful. Yet, when we set aside our meanings and exist with the 'noise', when 'noise' is received and accepted, enfolded into ourselves, 'noise' ceases. This is stillness. This is serene reflection meditation. This is Zen. It is without religious assignment, yet is the heart of all religion.
Be well.
Perhaps it's a focusing on and attempting to retain the phantom thought assigned as the separate "I", seemingly frozen in 'time and space', set out in the focusing to stand alone like a false idol. All appearances arising from within consciousness are then associated as interactions of "other" in relation to "I" and noise is the experience that originates from the confusion of the simple occurance of this focus.
