What lies just beyond silence?

Silence is of three types , of body, of speech and of thoughts in mind.

After silence of all these you will realize that you can still have ideas. But these are thoughtless ideas. Besides you will also have desires which can arise in a silent mind. These silent desires are propensities which make a person act in a manner to satisfy these desires through thoughtless ideas as I mentioned before.

Some people also experience unexplained bliss & ecstasy in samadhi (I also did) but that is also transitory, a station on the way because it remains for a finite amount of time and then leaves , hence it is anitya(transitory, fleeting, temporary). Final nirvana is a state of Nitya (eternal, timeless, deathlessness).

According to buddha nirvana is at 9th final state of meditation and ecstasy/bliss is experienced at 4th which is an initial state but very important as a landmark for making progress.

For the extremely some maximum area I do journey silence on the least different than my husband comes living. I even have been blessed because of fact my retirement with the alternative of silence or including noise from television, radio, or human beings. I cherish my silence pondering the fact that i'm able to get in tuned with God in prayer or by making use of way of examining and studying His be conscious. there are situations whilst i could grant something for my worth silence ... those days as quickly as I've around 10 of my 14 grandchildren alongside with a number of my 13 high quality grandchildren, or days whilst others desire to be argumentative.

Beyond silence? Creation. "A new heaven and a new earth."

On the journey? Awareness of being.

But, the key to creation 'beyond' is the unconflicted choice 'before' immersion in the silence.

I've felt that before

i imagine it might have been something like what Buddha felt

as far as experiences, there wasn't much to it except a total lack of all sensations, except the sensation of existence.

felt good coming out the other side too

You may see god beyond silence, if one goes deep in to silence. Else you may see dogs.

Shrikant S. K.

Nothing, except bliss or ecstasy.

When mind goes utter silence, one become pure consciousness, no self, nothing. You are ecstasic, joyful which cannot explained.

This is my experience.

The silence is so full of unformed beauty it can not hold still for long, but in that instant you know all there is to know about God. *howl* see I told ya. he, he.

The 8th Perspective. Yes. Exactly!

-----NBM: *shakes your hand*

I think it would be exquisit peace - I almost can't imagine that

Some ringing in my ears.
