Quote:you've got to be careful about inner silence. It's not natural for people to be in prolonged states of inner silence. It could be dangerous.
Ah, is that so?
I think silence can be practiced in different ways.
If cultivated correctly there is no harm in it, and in fact it is quite restful and produces a palpable tranquility, focus and aliveness.
What is the point of all of our habitual and unconscious living and habitual noise, how much less harmful can that be?
Regarding, secrets. I have had many aperceptions that occur on a non-verbal level. Knowledge comes in many ways and speaking of it is impossible.
The saying "Those who know ... don't tell" is translated incorrectly.
Those who know, can't tell. They want to desperately, but they can't because there are no words for what they know!!!
But actually that's not even entirely true.
There are those with great skill, and they know and can tell and lead others to the truth.
