THE POWER OF SILENCE
Ever condidered the beauty and therapeutic power of Silence. Serenity! A peaceful state of oneness with our thoughts, meditations and God. Alas! In this information over-loaded super-highway replete with internet-surfing, social networking, 24 hour satellite TV, mobile telephony and computer-gaming, we have lost the regenerative art of doing nothing, of shutting out the background noise and distractions, of slowing down and simply being alone with our thoughts, locked in a deep embrace with silence. Throughout the ages, great leaders have drank deeply from the fountains of silence. At various moments of silence in history poets have penned memorable stanzas that etched their names in the pages of time; singers have sang evergreen notes; scientists have received inspiration for one life-saving drug or treatment; inventors have appropriated ethereal ideas that engendered sublime inventions; men have been visited with profound visions that changed their life. Silence! A heightened spiritual state that empowers us to listen and hear what God is saying to us; to reflect deeply; to refresh our minds and restart anew. All truly great leaders have learnt the sublime secrets of silence, of being alone with nothing, with no one but themselves. Some of the greatest inspirations and ideas that will profoundly change your life will come to you in times of absolute silence and aloness. So learn today to slow down, to pause, every now and then and spend a little quality time alone with God in silence.
