Articulating Silence I

by Eric Carter

This post is the Core of what I have to offer. It is important to know this is not my philosophy or theory. This has been the Core teaching of religion, and of Seers of the past and present. Knowledge of this caliber cannot be taught only experienced. However, I have a heartfelt passion to attempt to put words to the Wordless.

Modern science demonstrates life in layers. From the surface value of molecular matter, to atomic, sub-atomic, nuclear, sub-nuclear and ultimately the quantum level we see layers. These layers get more powerful as they increase in subtlety. We know the power of the atom bomb. Well, what about the power of the quantum vacuum state? Does the power of this infinitely lively, yet equally silent state have the capability of giving rise to all creation?

What I am trying to portray here is again, the value of opposites. Molecules, which make up everything we see, and their opposite at or around the quantum level provide much insight. All matter only makes up 4.5% of the universe. What is the other 95.5%? On one level we see constant movement, and palpable objects. What are these subtle layers underneath these molecules that contain increasing power? What is the opposite end of the spectrum from this ever-changing surface value?

It is baffling, daunting and downright strange to think of this question with an object in mind. However, we are not separate from nature so we must have this full range lively within us. Right here, right now we have the opportunity to view totality. Our body is made up of molecules like any other bit of matter on the planet. This body is born and eventually will die. In a universe that substantiates infinity, where is our infinity?

Our infinity shines as the eternal light of our own pure awareness. As human beings we are the link between heaven and earth. Our bodies represent this earth. And, our awareness shines as heaven, untouched by anything in this world, ever pure. This is not our experience because we our so caught up with our bodies and stature in the world that this pure awareness is constantly overshadowed by thoughts, worries, habits, ambitions and worldly endeavor. This space is not clear enough for most people on a regular basis to know itself fully.

What is awareness and how does this get the role of heaven? Awareness is the basis of our intelligence, it is the pure silence underlying the sound of every thought. Every thought we have comes as a phenomena of our awareness. This aspect of the human being has the ability and flexibility to take on anything we impose upon it. It can be as vast or as small as our preconceived notions.

I will go into much more detail about the infinity of our own awareness in part 2 of this post. In a couple days we will see how our awareness expands in layers just like nature, and how we change as our knowledge and experience changes. I will also post a video going into more depth about this life changing… this identity changing topic.

Until then… Love every moment as if it is your newly born baby.
