I've always found that the most powerful form of silence in a book is the blank half a page between one chapter and the next.
I have a book of blank pages called “The Book of the Book” by the Sufi writer, Idries Shah, which I use for meditation. The book has an introduction which explains its origin and transmission and how its “contents” contain the culmination of all teachings and the secret of life, and it is blank. It’s my most prized possession.
I appreciate the idea behind that but if you paid the price of a normal book, that seems like more of a grift than anything else.@@WhoOneIs
Silence is an amazing natural gift for introverts
Silence is a power

05:15 📚 Incorporating silence into education through structured activities fosters deeper understanding and appreciation.

16:15 ⚖ Mastering the craft of silence involves aspiring for balance rather than achieving a static state.
Excellent speech! ❤ When I think about the role of silence in our lives, I recognize it is a balancing act. Silence allows us to listen to what a person is saying, also to clear our own minds. I enjoy my silent moments during meditation and when I am outside in nature or contemplating art. I noticed that with age I need more quiet spaces than ever before. And of course I noticed your cute skirt 😉

The video is about the value of silence and how to use silence in our everyday lives.
The speaker, Olga Lehman, argues that silence is not the absence of sound, but rather a presence of something else. She says that silence can be full of noises, and that it can be a powerful tool for self-reflection, connection with others, and creativity.
Lehman discusses different types of silence, including:
Silencing acts of silencing: These are silences that are used to oppress or exclude others.
Explicit silences: These are silences that are expected in certain situations, such as in libraries or hospitals.
Idealized silences: These are the silences that we seek out, such as the silence of nature or the silence of meditation.
Lehman also shares some tips for how to incorporate more silence into our lives, such as:
Paying attention to how much we talk and how much we listen.
Taking time for silence each day, even if it's just a few minutes.
Reflecting on our experiences with silence.
Overall, the talk is a call to action to pay more attention to silence and to use it as a tool to improve our lives.
🎶 Hello darkness/silence my old friend, I'd like to talk to you again.🎵 Silence is deafening.
Silence is the best weapon for many of us problems
Silence is powerful than words
*more* --- You were just missing the word "more", but I agree with this comment.
@@RustyB453Or they were looking for the word/s "Just" "Just as".
But I agree, either way.
I'm learning to use my tools. Original and natural tools that are part of existence, hidden tools (hidden because we don't know, because we weren't taught how to use) in our consciousness. Silence is essential to get out of automatism.
Silencio es a la sinfonia... vital ... universal...😊
What a powerful message!
I think most introverts inherently possess this skill as the silence is their comfort zone , and they always need to recharge their energy in silence or alone. They feel comfort and ease in this kind of environment.
Keeping silence for all the time is nothing but the way of expressing our folly, but it's needed👍
I got the screenshot of the book for further knowledge and create my self better Learner ❤
As a chronic daydreamer, I find that the louder the world gets, the quieter I get. The more noise there is, the more noise there is to withdraw from.
Beautiful message 🙏💜😇👏🏼👏🏼
I really love silence 🤐

Silence is nothing,even silence has a voice

❤
Music is an organised interruption of silence, from what I can gather after four decades working in audio.
Try GESTURING More Often?
I try to wave to people I see on the street and inside, all the time.
GESTURES can sometimes help to balance silence and talk, in meaningful ways.

Silence is a restorative practice; take solitude in nature often. And then use your voice to free Palestina 🍉❤

I regret that you are not familiar with Buddhism, which is full of the essence of silence. Due to your insufficient research, the speech is very poor.But I still want to say thank you to you. Silence is indeed a topic worth studying.

Fancy being paid lots of taxpayer money to teach her students....to be quiet. I could do her job. I do silent very well indeed.
