I.S.U. What is it!?Inner Silence University is a long, challenging, but infinitely rewarding (no exaggerration!) program in which the syllabus for each of the classes is the same..freshman, sophmore, junior and senior years. Every class is all about one simple assignment: Sustaining Inner Silence. That's it! That's all. Why? Because graduates of this simple-yet-challenging program have the ticket to everything they ever wanted in terms of the warrior's pursuit. To illustrate....a small quote from nagual Don Juan Matus in Carlos Castaneda's Power of Silence...
"Once inner silence is attained, everything is possible. The way to stop talking to ourselves is to use exactly the same method used to teach us to talk to ourselves: we were taught compulsively and unwaveringly, and this is the way we must stop it: compulsively and unwaveringly"
There it is..."everything is possible". What an awesome prospect, don't you think? Personally, I feel its worth the price of admission...the price of tuition...the price of time and sustained effort needed to graduate...to crystallize inner silence. It may take years! But who cares, right? The prize at the end is so mind bogglingly valuable...the chance for our awareness to fully spread its wings..that I can think of nothing else worthy of such investment. The ever-expanding riches of direct experience...direct experience of the nature that can only come with expanding awareness...which is, IMHO, the best kind of riches.
What are the classes like!?Once matriculated here at Inner Silence University..the classes are compulsory. The requirement, once we walk in the classroom, is simply this: gentle, persistent sustained effort. No matter how many times we fail...we get up...dust ourselves off....and renew our efforts to inner silence. And then, in the interest of collaborative support...collaborative intent to defeat the flyer....we can share our findings...where we got trapped...where we got distracted or lost. We also can share our victories, no matter how small...indicators of silence gathering momentum and saving energy...renewing our personal power...refreshing our link with intent. Anything is game here as long as helping each other sustain inner silence is at the heart of it's intent. Any technique to help foster inner silence is welcome.
What is the I.S.U. really about?!
Great question!. The cool thing about I.S.U. is that all of the goings-on of its students here will be intimately associated with a magical covert ops military research project as well. Personal experiences will be saved and then compiled in the the World Wide Warriors' bank of intel whose sole purpose is to free humanity from the invading network of the foreign installation.
Who in the hell are the World Wide Warriors?In a word, they rock!! They are the conglomerate of warriors, world wide, from many different spiritual traditions, who are fighting for freedom from the foreign installation..that thing that's feeding on humanity's energy by inciting self indulgent thought processes which stir up flares of emotion which foreign installation (otherwise known as "the flyer") feeds upon. These thought processes are the source of every squabble, every heated disagreement, every contentious event, every war.
"Flyers" Wow...they sound creepy! What do we know so far about getting rid of them?
Well, in terms of getting rid of the flyer, inner silence is the key in a nutshell That's why we've instituted I.S.U.!! Inner silence is the magic bullet for the foreign installation, since the FI lives in our thoughts. It is the fundamental way of saving unfathomable amounts of energy...energy which is constantly drained by self importance. We know that self importance is the over-riding mood of the internal dialog...and that the internal dialog is the heart and soul of the flyer's mind. Take away the nearly constant self-reflective thoughts? You take away its food..and it is a hungry, hungry critter. If that food is unavailable long enough, then it will leave and move on to find it elsewhere. And when the flyer is no longer feeding on our energy, our energy returns...our clarity returns...our power returns...our potential for infinite possibility returns. It's like the prodigal son finally comes home, and there's a feast that defies imagination!
We also know that the FI is very tenacious...and sneaky. It will use all manner of maneuvers and manipulations to get us thinking and flaring emotionally to provide food...including using other FI's attached to people we are involved with to stir up drama to get our FI active again. The FI LOVES drama of all sorts...its like a feeding frenzy! LOL It will actively incite drama to pull us in, if it can. Look out!
The good news is that silence, which is THE key to dislodging the FI, accrues bit by bit...whenever we employ it. Even if only for a few seconds, it gets added to the whole of our silence. So if we can employ silence deliberately for a few moments many times throughout the day, that is a huge step towards freedom...towards graduation day! We can accrue this silence daily, here and there wherever we can, and soon...one day...that silence will begin accrue on its own...gather momentum, like compounding interest in a bank account. It will gain mass...and gravity...and become easier and easier to sustain, if we can just persist through that difficulty beginning part...through the freshman and sophmore years, there about. This is valuable, encouraging intel from those who have graduated...those alumni who have kicked off the flyer and who look back and are supporting those of us struggling through the early courses here at I.S.U.
There's more! And the only way to find out is to start. Anyone can contribute here...essays...blurbs....impressions..insights...failures...successes. It's all good! You're automatically "in" once you make a deliberate move towards sustaining inner silence in whatever you do...and you can stay if you continue to make efforts toward that intent. Stay as long as it takes...study...compare notes...do your homework...and by all means graduate...and thus add to the overall blow for freedom for humans on this earth. For the earth itself. Join us please! The W.W.W. thanks you
Have not read further, but hope to find classes to take on )))) Exciting this is for the young Warrior apprentices (that read this)
