SHACK 271 DONE IN

‘Slaughtered by silence’ is a phrase sometimes found in esoteric writings.  I felt immediately when I first encountered the phrase an understanding; it did not really come to a deeper understanding till some time later.

The ego is in my view is a bunch of programmes and software in the brain which directs the manufacture of neuropeptides to form chemicals to feed the cells and so on. It is formed by repetition and so causes grooves and ingrained burned in programmes and conditioning which grooms an entity which assumes the reality model of living. These programmes are harvested from political, cultural, religious, scientific, media fashion and are modified to suit the individual tailoring.

The ego demands complete and utter loyalty and is a master at adaptation and manoeuvrability.  Generally it likes noise, glamour, centre of attention and can be vicious to the extreme if severely challenged and in some cases destroy itself rather than capitulate. If outside noise is not tolerated because the ego feels it invades its space it will do what is necessary to deal with it, however, even in quiet abodes the internal thoughts, the internal dialogue, the mind chatter and subtle shadow back of the mind fluttering and ominous uncomfortable forebodings like silent storm clouds may reside there.

It is when true silence, the cessation of thought and feelings as above cease not through suppression or distraction, a dampening through alcohol, substance abuse, TV, online browsing, sex, book research and novel reading and so on and on.

It is when there is a true silence as in meditation and a bright clear space appears, empty of thought and a great inner peace is experienced that the ego has been perhaps temporarily abandoned, then when the ego returns for its daily tasks to keep the body in essentials and live in the world, and that sometimes it feels abandoned, lonely and realises its transient and temporary existence and in extreme fear ‘slaughtered by silence’.

When the ego is seen by itself to be temporary, transient and expedient and it has tasted of the silence and becomes to realise that it has an important role in the Life of its present form it then allows the silence, the silent awareness of the Self to appear from behind the ego shielding and knows it is healthy for the form and has a role to play in the preserving indeed of its temporary existence, indeed it realises its order in the natural world and its role play to enhance it, furthermore if the form dissolves the ego dissolves with it, not accounting for the belief in reincarnation and unfinished business. The ego will therefore try to preserve the form as long as possible.

The silence and the cacophony of the noisy ego can actually compliment one another----this is not a compromise which may be one of the stages towards complementariness.
