Living out of the silence (emptiness/stillness) enables us to be mindfully aware of the place of wanting and caring about the wrong things plays in our day-to-day, and how regularly our thinking revolves around things that have no connection at all with what the present situation is calling for and what would be the most appropriate response we could make to that here, now. We are lost in the dust of the world. Adrift in the churning confluence of things that count for little or nothing on the scale of What Matters Most. We are wasting our time, wasting our life, lost in the wasteland of discontent.
We turn things around by being centered and focused on who we are and what we are here for, and taking up the search for where our deep joy is found and living there, doing that. Being true to the truth of who we are and what we are about honors and serves our Original Nature, Innate Virtues (The things we do best and the things we enjoy doing most), Inherent Intuition, Intrinsic Imagination. In serving these things, we bring them forth and make them apart of our day-to-day life in doing what is called for when, where and how it is called for, and everything falls into place around that.
