Stillness is really another word for space.
Becoming conscious of stillness whenever we encounter it in our lives will connect us with the formless and timeless dimension within ourselves
- That which is beyond thought; beyond ego.
- It may be the stillness that pervades the world of nature, or the stillness in your room in the early hours of the morning, or the silent gaps in between sounds.
Stillness has no form – that is why through thinking we cannot become aware of it.
- Thought is to be conscious without thought.
You are never more essentially, more deeply, yourself than when you are still.
- When you are still, you are who you were before you temporarily assumed this physical and mental form called a person.
- You are also who you will be when the form dissolves.
- When you are still, you are who you are beyond your temporal existence: consciousness – unconditioned, formless, eternal.
It has been said: “Stillness is the language God speaks, and everything else is a bad translation.”

repair or renovate so as to return it to its original condition
Can you take the thinking out of the perceiving? Can you look without the voice in your head commenting, drawing conclusions, comparing, or trying to figure something out?
After a couple of minutes or so, let your gaze wander around the room or wherever you are, your alert attention lighting up each thing the it rests upon.
When you look and listen in this way, you may become aware of a subtle and at first perhaps hardly noticeable sense of calm. This is inner space.
- Some people feel it as stillness in the back-ground. Others call it peace.
- When consciousness is no longer totally absorbed by thinking, some of it remains in its formless, unconditioned, original state.
