Too many words

A jung man was tired of his life, took vacation and went to a monastry. He wasn`t sure why he did so, but his inner feelings gave him right.

 

They allowed him to stay for a while and gave him a little room with a bed, a table and a simple light. He should have part in the daily rythm of prayer and work. And they ordered him to stay silent all the time. They didn`t want to hear any word from his lips, otherwise he had to leave the place immediately.

 

It was unbelievably hard for the young man. After two weeks a monk came to him and offered him with a silent voice to speak again.

 

I don`t know what to say, said the man. I know, replied the monk. I have never expected, the man said.  And after a while he went on: there is too many words, I guess. Got it, said the monk. And he looked to him, and a great peace was surrounding them, and then he said:

 

This is why God does not simply speak to us - because he loves us so much that words are not fitting but silence. In silence love has time to unfold in ways words can never describe. God is silent to uns because he has trust in us to take that time. And now you have tasted a bit from it!

 

But sir, we need words, many words in this world of many things!

 

No, said the monk, this is surely an invention of many words itself. Think about it and be silent again!

 

And the young man came home again and is still wondering today.

 

In the beginning was the WORD and not prattle (John 1:1)...

  • I 've noticed for awhile now that I don't want to talk very much.It makes me tired. When I write a blog, I try to say what I want in as few words as possible. And unless somthing really keeps my interest, I don't read long articles. This is an incredable blog. I love it. I've always wanted to go be alone for 40 days,like Jesus did. But I probubley would have talked to everything around me. So I love the complete silence. That would really,help you evolve fast. Thank you so much,  Love and light to all    Honestagel2012

  • ...nice story... but the non-talking is the easy part... the difficult part to handle is the mind-chatter...

    • So true Vagelis4VP.   Not only am I longwinded in my writings and conversations, but the hardest part is trying to muffle the inner dialog I have going in my mind incessantly....That is the biggist bitch of them all and always has been for me. Truth is I get just as sick of listening to me as everyone else does!

      • I hear you ! I don't have that problem much anymore. You have to break the habit,it didn't take long though. What I did,if it helps, is when my mind kept saying the same things over and over, stupid things. I started saying in my mind DELETE and after I did that for what seemed like about two weeks. It just really slowed down alot. Now when it's quiet I hear the sounds that energy make. I guess the sound is creation being created.You have to do it long enough to convince your subconscence .I hope this helps.  With Love Honestangel2012.

      • yes the mind chatter. i went once to womens land to get away for a while, and it was me and the constant ramblings of my mind. I think it takes awhile for the mind to calm itself down......

    • Yep!
