Do you notice the silence?

Do you notice the silence behind flickering noises of your mind and even more, behind collective echoes of disharmonious artificial rhythms? There is a space of silence which doesn’t need to be explained through our personal perspective and doesn’t need to relate to us, because it just is. It exists eternally and permeates through everything. It is the primordial unshakable source of all creation, and it is also a fertile space for our creations to authentically emerge.

Do you notice how peaceful, content and soaked in timelessness you can be if you wake up at 5am or just randomly end up being awake at 3am? Unless you are still so uncomfortable with feeling yourself that each attempt to do so makes you rush towards the first distraction, you will notice that. It is the period when you can really recognise the effect of the collective field and the man made matrix on us. As if at night the field is emptied out and there are little to no inputs, so you can hear yourself and get into meditative states much easier. It is also a time where the connection to the Source is easier to be reached. When inspirations can blossom into new tangible forms.

Sometimes it is hard to recognise it, and we can easily get pushed into it without noticing. I can feel some strange pressure many times when I wake up later, as if there is no time to do the practice and have a slow morning. Like I should be immediately doing something. Same goes if your friend or partner in the same space carries this rushing energy or something else. It is all felt. We do influence each other without words...energies fluctuate throughout space, and it depends on our presence and awareness how much we will get swiped by those external currents. If we cultivate our own field and magnify it, then we can walk peacefully even when the world is rushing around us. Then we don’t become bothered by the surrounding energies. Then our field echoes out and can even make others more present. Early hours are just an example and there are many spaces that amplify your inner motivation and rhythm.

It is easier to meditate if you are in an ashram, easier to be creative if you are in a creative incubator, easier to do the work if you are in a co-working space, easier to be in touch with natural rhythms if you are living and working with the nature. Whenever you find yourself in a place of people with mutual intention, the power of that intention gets magnified. And what do we have in the big cities? A chaotic fusion of all kinds of intentions that go wherever our minds can roam, many times contradicting each other and carrying no real meaning to the greater scheme of life. Dissonance so loud makes it harder to follow your own intuition. It even sprouted subcultures which oppose the main narrative but still float in the same dissonant field, still entangle with it.

Nevertheless, I enjoy diving into that city vortex sometimes, to get inspired by the diversity of human expression and get some new perspectives. Life is glorious in all its shades. Magnificence that cannot be fully understood but makes us ponder endlessly and motivates us to create a huge variety of portrayals of its effect on us. Life, I bow to you. I am willing to hear you even amongst the storms.
