“There is a silence into which the world can not intrude. ²There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. ³There is a sense of holiness in you the thought of sin has never touched. ⁴All this today you will remember.” – ACIM Lesson 164
Silence is a practice, and an art. It is an act of restraint, and a method for learning to communicate without speaking. Silence offers a moment of respite, and perhaps, a sense of peace.
Practicing extended periods of silence, as in meditation or prayer, can be a doorway to mystical experience. Silence is often a prelude to a receptive state of mind; shifting perspective and awareness.
