A Word On Silence

Jun 15th, 2010 | By | Category: News

I haven’t updated my blog for some while now, and the reason being could be summed up in Eckhart Tolle’s words at the beginning of one of his seminars: “I am quiet because maybe it is because I haven’t anything to say”. In his teachings he states that “Silence” is as important, if not much, much more important than blabbering on unnecessarily, although they would not be his exact words.

Sadly, Google does not see things this way, and unless there is a stream of superfluous diatribe every day on your blog it will be rapidly downgraded in the page ranking. There is a saying in the Internet Marketing world that “Content Is King”. I would rephrase that by saying “Waffle Is King”. This doesn’t bother me, being someone who recognizes that ‘Google’s Internet’ is far too full of crap already in this mad insane world in which we live, as is most of daily talk in life unfortunately – (Including much of my own I admit to!). It is also interesting that, in comparison with this time last year,  the Crop Circle makers have gone rather silent too. Could their main message for this year be contained in that silence?

Today, in our society, the true value of silence has been all but overlooked completely, and I would suggest this is giving rise to most of the apocalyptic challenges facing humanity right now. People and groups of people are not taking enough pauses in silence in order to look at underlying universal truths, the fundamental one being we are all ONE. More anon!
