God and Evil , Negative and Positive . Although we must live and deal with these things , are there any answers in the silence between these dualities?
It has been my experience that there is no mistaking a True Spiritual Experience with anything we can imagine or fear in our "mind's eye".
Spiritual experience goes beyond any expectations or imaginations.
I could make comparisons like an etch-a-sketch compared to HDTV or cartoons compared to reality etc.
But these are much too pale to tell the story correctly.

If you think that you are not even close.
1 Cor 2:9
"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God."
As far as silence goes, it is a doorway to these things. Not the thing itself.
