Nice read. With Maharishi speaking about uncovering silence I was
reminded of something I was observing at some point this morning,
either on the way to work or just before leaving, where my senses
and mind were just thick with silence, and with each thought I would
experience the thought first subtly in its pure form, without
ownership. And then as I began to appreciate all of it, it would
begin to try to subtly twist and change in my mind, as the subtle
senses inherent in the thought began to magnify and try to charm me
as the thought expanded, and I saw that if I were to go with that
momentum, take ownership of it, I could mutate it as it were, and
create something that appeared to serve more and more just my own
limited interests, or, on the other hand, if I just continued to
watch it, silence thick within it and surrounding it, it would just
subside again into the thick pool of silence, and in a little bit,
another would take its place, and the whole process would start over
again. I was practicing watching the thoughts come up, blossom, and
then before they became 'mine', letting them subside, all the while
enjoying the tangible and pervasive nature of the silence.
