THE STILL POINT: WHERE QUIET WISDOM WHISPERS
Beyond the ceaseless buzz of daily life, past the clamour of external demands, and deeper than the incessant chatter of our own minds, lies a profound and quiet wisdom. It is not a booming pronouncement, nor a sudden flash of insight, but a gentle, resonant knowing that resides in the stillness.
Imagine standing at the edge of a vast, tranquil lake on a windless morning. The surface is perfectly still, reflecting the expansive sky with pristine clarity. There are no ripples, no distortions, just an unblemished reflection of reality. This serene surface is like the mind when it is still. When the waves of thought and emotion recede, when the endless “what ifs” and “should haves” finally quiet, what remains is this vast, reflective expanse.
Similarly, in our lives, amidst the constant motion of thoughts, emotions, and external demands, there is an inherent centre of calm. When we connect with this Still Point, the noise of everyday existence begins to subside, allowing a subtle, persistent hum of truth to become audible. This hum is the quiet wisdom—it doesn’t shout, it doesn’t demand, it simply reveals. It speaks in nudges, intuitions, and a profound sense of clarity that transcends mere logic.
Quiet wisdom speaks not in words, but in a deeper understanding. It’s the intuitive nudge that guides you when logic falters, the unshakable knowing that arises when fear dissolves. It is the ability to perceive connections that were once obscured by distraction, to see the essential truth of a situation without the interference of judgment or preconceived notions.
Quiet wisdom isn’t learned from books or lectures; it is uncovered when the inner space is cleared and it is a fundamental truth that resonates from our deepest essence. In the journey of awakening, the heart isn’t just an organ; it is the seat of consciousness, compassion, and intuitive knowing.
The Still Point: Where Quiet Wisdom Whispers refers to that earnest, tranquil core within each of us—a sanctuary untouched by the never-ending activity of the mind or the tumult of the external world. It is not a physical place, but a state of deep inner peace and stillness that, when accessed, allows us to tap into an innate, heartfelt intelligence. This Still Point is where true equilibrium resides.
The Still Point is not a destination as it is our inherent nature. All it takes to access it is a shift in perception and a cultivation of inner awareness. It is an open, vast, and loving awareness that sees interconnectedness and can hold all of life’s experiences with grace. It has shed many layers of fear, judgment, and conditioning.
Quiet wisdom is always there, waiting. It is the background hum of truth, the silent observer that never judges, and the guiding light that illuminates your true path on the journey to awakening. It is the sweet, clear music you hear only when you finally stop straining against the cacophony and simply listen.
Wisdom grows in quiet places.
