The Lost Art of Stillness: Uncovering the Secrets of Being Still

The phrase "be still and know" holds the key to understanding the transition from stillness to knowing beyond the conscious and unconscious mind.

Stillness is not the end but contains everything, leading to a deeper form of knowing and consciousness, which is crucial in today's restless and distracted society.

The exploration of stillness reveals that it is not just the absence of motion, but a state of consciousness that is essential for real experience and understanding.

The Impact of Restlessness and Distraction on Consciousness

Restlessness and distractions lead to a lack of stillness, affecting sleep and causing hormonal imbalances.

The internet and modern distractions are rewiring the brain and diminishing sustained attention.

The constant stimulation from distractions and the desire to fulfill cravings lead to overstimulation and desensitization, as well as the formation of addictions.

These factors contribute to reactive behavior and a loss of innate intelligence.

Chronic stress and anxiety from these feedback loops have a detrimental effect on the immune system and overall health.

High doses of steroids have a more harmful effect on the body than short bursts, leading to the theory of allostasis load.

Chronic stress, whether psychological, physical, or physiological, can deplete the body's stress hormone reserves and lead to exhaustion.

Finding stillness and managing chronic stress is essential for the body's ability to fight illness and maintain health.

The Significance of Stillness in Pythagoras's Education

Pythagoras's education focused on initiation and purification of the soul through a series of tests and years of silence.

The practice of stillness was not just about being quiet, but a means to free people's attention from distractions and open their awareness to a different world.

Pythagoras's dedication to stillness was also reflected in his use of ancient incubation techniques, which were central to the Pythagorean way of life.

Additionally, Parmenides, who was taught by a Pythagorean, also emphasized stillness in his teachings, as seen in his fragments that describe universal consciousness and the journey to the underworld.

The Ancient Greek Meditation of Stillness and Incubation

The lost ancient meditation involved isolating oneself in a dark place, lying down in complete stillness for hours or days, leading to a different state of awareness.

The purpose of this meditation was for prophecy and healing, practiced by healers who were also priests of Apollo, focusing on incubation, dreams, and ecstasy.

Apollo was considered the god of this state of awareness, associated with healing, prophecy, and taking individuals into a different state of consciousness.

The States of Consciousness and the Power of Stillness

The personal conscious and unconscious mind are in a constant interplay, with the ego active in waking consciousness and the soul active in sleeping or dreaming consciousness.

Stillness plays a crucial role in allowing the active and passive dance between the two states of consciousness.

The third state of consciousness goes beyond the ego and soul, delving into the collective essence of humanity, requiring harmony and union between the conscious and unconscious mind.

The Art of Stillness: Cultivating Consciousness and Unconscious Mind

Hypnosis can occur through various mediums like television and social media, subtly influencing individuals' thoughts and behaviors.

The art of stillness involves quieting the conscious and unconscious mind to achieve awareness, resisting the modern-day restlessness.

Dying before death means letting go of subjective beliefs, habits, and identities, purifying the ego and soul for true stillness, which is a difficult and painful process.

Cultivating Stillness: The Art of Purification and Trust

The practice of purification rights is essential for achieving mental and physical stillness.

Socrates' dialectic method and trust in the soul emphasize the importance of inner intelligence and consciousness.

Cultivating stillness involves attentive awareness and the stilling of the conscious mind to separate from the ego and achieve a sense of unity.

Consciousness detachment is a freeing from passions and entanglements with objects, leading to a feeling of deliverance and stillness.

This practice involves a combination of focused attention and open awareness, which has scientific support in its impact on the brain hemispheres.

Carl Jung's concept of meditation and the importance of integrating unconscious projections are crucial in this practice.

The Power of Stillness in Cultivating Inner Peace and Consciousness

Stillness allows one to be in harmony with the world and the light, bringing true wholeness.

It is a stimulant for inner peace, common sense, and divine consciousness, offering insights that busyness cannot provide.

Stillness leads to the root of being and non-being, allowing for the incubation and healing of the self.
