Silence Beyond the Silence (ePub)

The Silence Beyond the Silence contains the literary results of long-time consciousness research through meditative experience. The short stories and poems are crafted, for the most part, out of direct experience. The imaginative element is sourced in what is real, which, like a seed, sprouts and grows into a living plant. And, so grows or unfolds the plot, characters, and cadence of the story or poem out of that core experience. The intent is to draw the reader into thoughts and feelings that feel deeper, stronger, and less separate ... something closer to a merging or union with movement and meaning ... a stronger and more vital connection to nature, to all of life, to our life. The Silence Beyond the Silence is a place, a place where we have walked through a door, closed it behind us, and turned around to observe what lies before us. Most of us in special moments can achieve silence inside ourselves. At this moment a door appears before us, which may be opened if we only have the key. This key is a knowing that we must remain awake after we turn off our senses. When we no longer see, hear, or feel, but remain completely awake and alert, new perceptions can and do approach us from interior worlds. Here time stops and adventure begins, if one is willing to explore the new frontier, for that is what it is ... the new frontier.
