OES I OVERVIEW
OES II AWARENESS–ACCEPTANCE

Too Little Silence

There is too little silence in the world and too little silence in people to connect with the Reality of things. Words and language are necessary but keep us external to deeper realities and very seldom are capable of expressing those deeper realities. People are fearful of that silence but to really know who you are you should be enriched by that silence and rooted in it even when you are speaking. All the talk, all the chatter obscures being part of the vastness of the universe and the purity of God, which is the birthright in common origin of us and of everything.

Contact Us

You can email us at [email protected]. Please understand that we are a modest endeavor staffed entirely by busy volunteers and largely funded by donations. Additionally, we live in a remote location with limited bandwidth. (Really, in this day and age, there still is such a thing as limited bandwidth where streaming data is a bad idea.) This means it may take us a while to respond to your query, but we will get back to you.
