“All that is necessary to awaken to yourself as the radiant emptiness of spirit is to stop seeking something more or better or different,

and to turn your attention inward to the awake silence that you are.”

Often we think of words like emptiness in regards to the self as negative. We don’t want to be empty, for that means the ego-self in which we take such pride must be gone! Similarly, he speaks about awakening the silence that we are. Awakening silence…

Quite a paradoxical combination of words, in the same way that saying something like ‘sleeping awake-ness’ might not initially seem to make sense. But at this moment that is exactly what we are. We are awake in the sense of ego and in the sense of associating life and existence to that of this human body. But we are simultaneously asleep in the spiritual sense and in the sense of knowing the truth of what we are beyond the roles we play. So when we meditate we must always remember (even if we aren’t fully in sync with it yet), that we are indeed at our core pure, silent, conscious awareness. No voice. No personality. No reaction. Simply awareness.

And as such we will come to see as we sit in silence, free from thoughts, that awareness is silence! Therefore, when meditating always remember silence as the natural state and thusly allow your mind to flow freely until the waters still, and silence fills us. We may chant a word, we may focus our mind on a feeling, but in this space of dhyana, or a single point of focus within the mind, we must allow the mind the freedom to silence itself. If it begins to still and let go of the word, let it. If the mantra’s repetition is assisting the silence, keep chanting! We mustn’t think or focus on how many times a word or saying is chanted, nor should we try to limit the silence in which we are to the time frame we have for our meditation session either.

Above all the methods to follow and the awakening meditation holds the ability to provide across all religions, cultures and eras is that of transcending the personal self, and awakening into a space oneness. Allowing the pure conscious nature of what we are, the inner atman, to synchronize with all of reality in this moment. A moment that is eternally silent and simultaneously blissful.

Freedom from Thoughts Silence may sound like quite the experience to surrender into, however we must not forget that in order to do so we must traverse the seemingly endless sea of thoughts we house within our minds. In the movie Finding Nemo there is a scene where the main character, a high maintenance clown-fish, accidentally wanders into a massive group of very poisonous jellyfish. In doing so he becomes instantly afraid, and begins to dart around the jellyfish desperately seeking an escape route back to the safety of the open ocean, with no logic at all.
