StillnessSpeaks announces the release of "Awe and Wonder, Darkest Before the Dawn: An Interview with Jeff Foster".

This is a humble, intimate invitation to join a conversation of  both rarely shared experiences of "The Dark Night of the Soul" and Joy ultimately revealed.

This is a terrific, deeply touching sharing by very special friend.

These video clips do not do justice to the flavor, texture and beauty of the message conveyed. There is an unspoken beauty that shines in Jeff; we hope you enjoy these humbly offered samples. Click here to see our first clips with Jeff Foster from "Awe and Wonder".

The Myth of communication.

Franklin Merrell-Wolff called it The Induction; Francis Lucille refers to it as the Power of Transmission. Ramana Maharshi pointed to the Transmission of Silence as the teacher.

What did they all mean?

Bagavan Ramana Maharshi was once quoted as saying: 

"The influence of the Jnani  (Self-Realized one) steals into the devotee in silence. Contact with great men, exalted souls, is one efficacious means of realizing one’s true being.”

Ramana added: “Contact with them is good. They will work through silence. By speaking, their power is reduced. Silence is most powerful. Speech is always less powerful than silence. So mental contact is the best.”

Do we ask questions and receive answers? Do thoughts ever communicate?

"Who is it that loves and who that suffers?
He alone stages a play with Himself.
The individual suffers because he perceives duality.
 Find the One everywhere and in everything
and there will be an end to pain and suffering."

Frequently, there are arguements between those who prefer using the mind or the heart to discover Reality. No one has ever better expressed the Truth of this matter than Anandamayi Ma:

"Either melt by devotion the sense of separateness, or burn it by knowledge—for what is it that melts or burns?

Only that which by its nature can be melted or burnt; namely the idea that something other than your Self exists. What will happen then? You come to know your Self."

Born in the small village of Kheora in Bengal in 1896, Nirmala Sundari Devi exhibited remarkable qualities as a very young child, learning the entire Bengali vowels and consenants in one day, entering trances during discourses and chanting, and, later deep samadhis. She married young and, remarkably her given husband bacame a follower early on.

Is Unshakeable Peace Possible?: The Relative and Absolute Answer

We offer for you a remarkable short video by Francis Lucille that answers the question, "Is unshakeable peace in the world possible?" What we find most fascinating is the delicate balance of the answer: it both speaks to the relative, the underlying assumption and the absolute resolution to the question.
