(by Hans-Dieter Schwalm, Bad Dürkheim, in October 2008)

What is stillness?

a first attempt at definition:


For me, silence is once the absence of noise, but also "inner peace" is a kind of silence for me.

What kind of peace and quiet I know?

sleep


standstill, ie not non-movement / noise (eg machinery)


slowness (not rush or run)


calm and deliberation of practices


listening


Read


praying


silence


contemplation (focus on One)


Meditation (arriving in nothing)



Where can I find peace and quiet for me personally?


In an open church


in the reading room of a library


In the wild, especially in the forest



How do I get peace and quiet?

on the way from far out on the inside
much here and now to the whole of me.

The personal way: solve

silence as a result of a conscious intentional ritual

tension - let go of the attraction and centrifugal forces of everyday life and the environment.

Slow (time for something / someone)

turning one

(eg, viewing an image or listening is possible with appropriate music).

focus on something

surrender (silently praying or reciting texts)

conscious silence

feeling, feeling the inner being

experience intense silence and take the personal income in everyday life.

As a group:


silence as the target Community action and communicating

Chat with questions and answers in the exact minute

Every one should try his own tension, relax his involvement in life and settle.

Only One speaks (only loud, then more softly)

turning one of the one (listening)

surrender all to a common ritual (eg Recitation of poems, texts or pray, first aloud and then rather quiet or even silence)

Common silence

feeling of community and harmony

take silence as a gift in the conscious life .

Conclusion: This knowledge can come


silence is not silent not dull and numb.

It arises in ourselves as a liberation of many disorders.


silence puts us in a state of harmony.


sounds and feelings that may even intensify.


also includes silence with the outer one, it is not an exclusive space.


The community feeling is one of them as a special feature win at common silence.


increases in personal silence an inner life force.


also generates a large community in security.
