Silence and Happiness

Share it Please
Going into the silence, Dr. Ernest Holmes reminds us, does not mean that either our minds or our physical reactions are obliterated, for if they were we should pass into oblivion. We are not trying to discover how to be less ourselves, but how to be more ourselves.

(To see the video below on YouTube, click here.)

Jesus gave a good example of going into the silence when he told us that in prayer, we should enter the closet and close the door. It is evident that he was not referring to an actual closet. He could nothave been referring to any particular physical space, walled in like a small room. His language was symbolic. Entering the closet means withdrawing into one's own mind, for it is from one's own mind that the creativity that one possesses emanates.

Seeing Good At Work
I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well! The weekly lessons keep me on track and focused on what is actually true and important, and help me experience more good in every area of my life. LS
