When Silence Swam On the Menu


“When Silence Swam on the Menu”



There is no past
There is no future
All there is, is the
Silence of Now


We move through the hours
day by day
soft-skinned vessels, souls gliding
flowing like water


In the swim
side by side
All as one
but One unknown


The menu changes daily
The unified constant
is the
Silence of Now


(Lovejoy-Burton, August 2018)

The etheric body, ether-body, æther body, a name given by neo-Theosophy to a vital body or subtle body propounded in esoteric philosophies as the first or lowest layer in the "human energy field" or aura. It is said to be in immediate contact with the physical body, to sustain it and connect it with "higher" bodies.

Madame De Beaulieu, lovely to see you. Silence, my friend, is a good thing, not a bad thing. It gives one pause, while we are still alive in this two dimensional plain, to delve deeper into the depths of the biggest and deepest ocean of the lot. It's amazing what delights you will find after you dive towards the dark and then resurface towards the Light. Silence is a good thing. Love to you, life is not about counting numbers, seconds, minutes, hours, days, years....but we are all swimming towards the number 1.x

Thanks Iyaji...Alan Watts makes some valid conclusions, that aren't necessarily answers , Just remedies. But it is interesting to dive into deeper. What a person is looking for is not always found in a book....
