Finding Silence in the Center of Sound

Close your eyes and feel the whole universe filled with sound. Feel as if every sound is moving toward you and you are the center. This feeling that you are the center will give you a very deep peace. The whole universe becomes the circumference and you are the center, and everything is moving toward you, falling toward you.

The center is without sound, that is why you can hear sounds — a sound cannot hear another sound. The center is absolute silence. That is why you can hear sounds entering you, coming to you, penetrating you, encircling you.

If you can find out where is the center, where is the field in you to where every sound is coming, suddenly sounds will disappear and you will enter into soundlessness. If you can feel a center where every sound is being heard, there is a sudden transference of consciousness. One moment you will be hearing the whole world filled with sounds, and another moment your awareness will suddenly turn in and you will hear the soundlessness, the center of life.

Do not start thinking about the sounds — that this is good and that is bad, and this is disturbing and that is very beautiful and harmonious. Simply think of the center. Just remember that you are the center and all the sounds are moving toward you — every sound, whatsoever the sort.

Sounds are not heard in the ears, the ears cannot hear them. The ears only do a transmission work, and in the transmission they cut out much which is useless for you. They choose, they select, and then those sounds enter you. Now find out within, where is your center. The ears are not the center, you are hearing from somewhere deep down. The ears are simply sending you the selected sounds. Where are you? Where is your center?

Let Yourself Become Weightless.

When sitting, just feel that you have become weightless, there is no weight. You will feel that somewhere or other there is weight, but go on feeling the weightlessness. It comes. A moment comes when you feel that you are weightless, that there is no weight. When there is no weight you are no more a body, because the weight is of the body ? not of you. You are weightless.

You have to dehypnotize yourself. This is the hypnosis, the belief that "I am a body and that is why I feel weight." If you can dehypnotize yourself into realizing that you are not a body, you will not feel weight. And when you do not feel weight you are beyond mind.

The technique of siddhasan, the way Buddha sits, is the best way to be weightless. Sit on the earth ? not on any chair or anything, but just on the floor. Sitting in a Buddha posture, locked ? your legs are locked, your hands are locked ? helps, because then your inner electricity becomes a circuit. Let your spine be straight. Now you can understand why so much emphasis has been given to a straight spine, because with a straight spine less and less area is covered, so gravity affects you less.

With closed eyes, balance yourself completely, center yourself. Lean to the right and feel the gravity; lean to the left and feel the gravity; lean forward and feel the gravity; lean backward and feel the gravity. Then find the center where the least pull of gravity is felt, the least weight is felt, and remain there. Then forget the body and feel that you are not weight ? you are weightless. Then go on feeling this weightlessness. Suddenly you become weightless; suddenly you are not the body; suddenly you are in a different world of body-lessness.

Weightlessness is body-lessness. Then you transcend mind also. Mind is also part of the body, part of matter. Matter has weight; you do not have any weight. This is the basis of this technique.

I remember the first time i saw u since high school. Haha u came to help us pull the van out of the ditch, um lets see i think it was June 14th yes, Tracys birthday. I remember u had a bandana on, with your hair in a tail, Mojo was in the backseat. I didnt realize then the kind of impact u would have on my life.

During the next year we would go through so much together. We would hold each other up throught it all, we would run to each other with everything. We could bring each other from a sobbing cry to a laugh at the drop of a hat. You held me up through so much, i tryed for u.  You cared for me when i felt everybody else had gone. You took care of my ass whenever i needed it, even when i wouldnt ask. You always know the exact thing to say to make me feel wonderful about life and to help me see why i should be thankful, and most of all u have helped me to love myself again.

I could call upon u from anywhere in the world and u would be there, and i hope u know u can expect the same from me. Anytime anywhere i will be there for u. You are my best friend, and i am so proud to call u that. There is not anything anybody say or do to make me stop loving you.

and i really hope this brought some tears, its all from my heart, for u i will be there!
