The single greatest force on the planet is not love,
but a mind that is UNDIVIDED.
This is so, because a divided mind is not cohesive
enough to discern, and dispense, love.
Most modern minds are scattered, fractured, distracted.
But if you want a seat on YOUR throne...
if you want to hold and use YOUR scepter...
if you want the deep pleasure only available from
your inner blaze,
you gotta get QUIET.
In the 17th century, the catholic church actually deemed 'quietism' heresy.
And today, every electronic screen -- and the controlling agendas behind them --
does an excellent job at keeping the world in a frantic and frenzied state:
Bread and circuses. || Media manipulation. || Mind control.
And if those formidable forces aren't enough,
there are at least 14 miles of additional excuses
as to why you can't get there. To quiet.
And THAT is the "On" switch, to our collective crazy.
This ain't (just) for ancient, Asian dudes in robes.
This ain't (just) for cloistered nuns in monasteries.
Quiet IS PRECISELY FOR the busy, and the bored,
the rich, and the broke. The fulfilled, and the frightened.
With quiet, you establish and maintain,
A STRONG CONNECTION WITH YOURSELF.
Without quiet, you constantly amalgamate
the voices and ideas of those around you.
Without quiet, when and how do you sort
through the words and wishes of others,
and find YOUR OWN words and wishes?
Before I designed a lot of quiet in my life,
I always hankered for it.
I am so grateful that I followed that hankering.
Made sacrifices to honor it.
And found everything I ever sought.
That is the priceless truth, that noise keeps hidden.
