“God’s one and only voice is Silence.” -Herman Melville
Key #2 Hearing the Silence
The second key opens the door to meditation. Hearing the Silence can only come when we are able to stop the constant chatter in our minds and connect to the void, the field of all possibilities, to God.
In the novel the 100th human, the symbol for the second key is the number Zero (0), demonstrating to us that in the midst of the things we can define is emptiness. The circle around nothing allows us to communicate the idea of zero. In the empty space is the silence where all is peaceful, possible and pre-manifest.
The unified field is invisible, silent, without beginning or end, it is empty yet all possibilities exist within it. You can not divide it in any way, but all things are created from within it. It is all places and no place at the same time. It is pure and in perfect balance. It is absent of all matter. It is invincible, infinite and yet extremely simple. Do these things remind you of what zero represents?
Meditation allows the mind to slow down. It helps relinquish the grasp your ego has on your life. Meditation can be your own personal doorway into the unified field, to God, really. It has been said that if prayer is us talking to God, then meditation is when we listen to God talking to us.
Meditation does take practice. Your mind, will not relinquish its hold on your life easily. But with perseverance and dedication you can find your own personal connection to the spirit world and step into the void. It does not take years before you benefit from meditation. It only takes one time to begin to feel its benefits. To connect to the field of all possibilities, if only for a moment, will change your life. You will know the feeling. You will have opened your awareness to the experience of God. You will create a new experience in your brain and in your body that you can return to again and again.
Many are afraid of silence. And infinity scares us also. Personally, I prefer the idea of unlimited possibilities, to the limits of what I know. The noise that we fill our lives with is old, ancient in fact. But the silence exists purely. The things we have around us are diluted and redundant. I like the idea of always having fresh, new possibilities available to me and it is in the silence that I find them.
-- Chapter 41
Finding our purpose for being here comes when we connect to the field of all possibilities. The mechanism that allows us such a connection is meditation. It is within the gaps, the spaces between our conditioned thoughts, that we find the voice of God. There is a knowingness in the silence, a knowingness we can access whenever we wish.
“Be still and know that I am God.” –Psalms 46:10
To find such answers, knowingness and power in nothingness seems paradoxical and perhaps it is. But just think for a moment of the state at which zero is. As soon as you add a number to zero, possibilities fall away and now you have a very definite and finite state. Add the number 1 to 0 and you have 1. One means so many things depending on your background, training and perspective. But it is most definitely limited. The same goes with 2 or 3 or 20. But in the state of zero all of these numbers and more reside invisible, un-manifest, a potential to be called forth. This is God, waiting in the silence, waiting to be called forth.
There are many things that nothingness is not. In fact, all that has substance is no longer nothingness; it is no longer at zero state. So zero just is. Zero is… as God is… and you are. This is at the core of our very nature. It is worth connecting to regularly.
The most important thing to remember is personal practice. Find time each day to embrace the silence. The number zero should take on a whole new meaning to you from now on. It should remind you of the space, the gap, the silence, the unified field.
-- Chapter 41
There have been many scientific experiments indicating the benefits of meditation, many of the results are quite astounding. One such experiment showed how those meditating affected the physical symptoms of those around them. Another showed how urban crime was reduced by a focused group meditating in the area. I encourage you to investigate for yourself how hearing the silence will change your life and our world. Meditation does take practice but many results are immediately felt. Regular practice will most certainly shift your consciousness and create a ripple effect to be felt by all. Be the 100th human!
