==MAINTAINING THE BALANCE BETWEEN SILENCE AND NON-SILENCE== ************************ THE IMPORTANCE OF SEARCHING OUT SILENCE ************************ PLEASE NOTE: *THE "URN" FORMAT OF SOME PARAGRAPHS ARE THE ORIGINAL IDEA & CREATION OF GREYDON MOORE.* SYNOPSIS: There is the silence of voice, which one chooses or does not choose when among others. When you deliberately choose when you are silent and when to speak, your words are no longer a mindless spout of verbal reactions to the comments of others, but potent and charged, stemming from wisdom and observation. There is also the silence of the soul, which always awaits us when we are still and listen. For those who are comfortable with solitude, this silence holds many gifts. SOME POINTS SUGGESTED IN THE EMAILS BELOW: (1) Silence does not mean hiding your light from others. There are times when you shine and must speak. And there are times when silence and quiet observation serve you best in certain circumstances. (2) In each situation you encounter, follow your gut feelings (inner voice) on when to be silent and when NOT to be. (3) Times of pure silence & solitude are essential. They connect you with your soul & are oftentimes key for receiving intuitive 'solutions' BEFORE PROBLEMS EVEN OCCUR.** Silence, meditation, and prayer can better prepare you for all you are soon to encounter. In other words, you become in tune to a kind of spiritual 'foreknowledge' which makes you more instinctively wise as to how to act in each decision you make, each situation you encounter. This inner foresight increases the joy in positive situations, and can offset or completely turn around a potentially negative experience. There is a sense of inner accomplishment, not dependent on outside praise, when you know you have prevented, quelled or even transformed anger, rage, or negativity in a situation or an individual. **NOTE: FOR MORE ON 'ANSWERS' THAT INTUITIVELY PRECEDE A PROBLEM, SEE GREYDON'S INTRO PARAGRAPH IN TRANSLATION 18: http://www.missingmass.net/transl18.txt ======================================================================================================== EMAILS: From: Greydon Moore To: Starlight Subject: Re: hello again - the planetary quaranteen - Starlight and Clyde Date: Sunday, December 01, 2002 06:05:01 ....Tonight after sending you email about rage** I did something not done for many weeks, which is to internalize asking 'dissolve ego', and whao zizzle change adjust new, and ego had been there, un- detected, snagging in- to mass consciousness frequencies sealed as unsuitable for beyond, on the planet, not a big snag, but a snag I didn't know was there, creeping back. Just goes to show how close to critical mass some of this writing can be. Which brings forth another concern - how far can such writing go before crossing the line into taking advantage of someone, for instance how far until it becomes messianic instead of its best inspire which is to share and help in fulling commandments: Love One Another, Serve One Another.

Dear Greydon, .... There is a chance our laptops are going to be taken for "re-imaging" again...Do you think they have something monitoring all my (and others' i'm sure) attempts to access the internet? If so, I would bet that is the reason for the re-imaging, not to sound completely paranoid. It was so nice to read your mail again. I love all that you wrote in the Planetary Quaranteen letter. I could tell Clyde hasn't been on line because my mail was unread, but that is something I will make him read. When you wrote "how far can such writing go before crossing the line into taking advantage of someone, for instance how far until it becomes messianic instead of its best inspire which is to share and help in fulling commandments: Love One Another, Serve One Another", I took it that you were not just asking rhetorically, but that you were asking for an answer.. If I am wrong, ignore what follows, because you probably already know the answer anyway. My gut answer is, there is always the danger for one who possesses your insights and intelligence to fall into feeling or projecting him/herself as Messianic -- and as you've pointed out before, there are always plenty of people locked in sheep mentality looking for such a projection; but my feeling is with you that you have all the weapons to fight that, some of which you have passed onto Clyde and I, such as "Dissolve ego, rage...practice kindness". I've never gotten that "I am Messiah" message from you. Plus, when someone becomes "that way" their stuff is no longer beautiful, no longer truly insightful. They break with the pure frequencies. Love, Kindness, and Compassion disintegrate, I think, once someone falls into projecting themselves as an "Answer". Still, if I were you, I would find the line very thin. If weak, and if connecting with someone else weak and in need, a tenuous personality with your finely tuned perceptions COULD feasibly take advantage of the weak seeker. But I don't see it with you, Greydon. You are constantly pointing in the direction of 'we all have Christ within', not 'I, Greydon, have Christ within. Follow me.' Now, on the other hand, since we all do have Christ within, we shouldn't "hide our light", while at the same time balancing on the fragile line between not hiding it and declaring it superior. I've never caught a hint of 'me superior' from you, when you have every reason and chance to put that forth. You put it perfectly when you said: "Spiritual humility is not a cringe or meely meek. In me, it is a confidence to speak directly of what I know without swooling in selfdoubts about the speaking, the confidence grows and of itself becomes yet another power able to exert force in the mass consciousness afflictees under the planetary quaranteen." So why HIDE your highly developed perceptions? If you had done that we wouldn't have connected to you. And if you were prone to taking advantage, you would have done that already. Starlight From: Greydon Moore >To: Starlight >Subject: Re: important correction. >Date: Tuesday, 1O Dec 2002 11:56 I don't think it is paranoic to be a tad suspicious about why 're-imaging' again there may be reasons where you are that requires sleuthing and have nothing to do with but you are swept in along with the rest by circumstances. Just be a little bit on the carefull that your name does not get swept along attached impropriotously to someone elses less than honest character because attachments do happen the least involved finding themselves the most accused or suspected, and all it might take is for one individual to point a finger or say a word sending a horde of suspectors thundering in the wrong direction - to you for instance. If intrigue is heating up in security activities it is said the best is to be aware as an observer and silent thereby avoiding getting caught up in a mess being created by someone else. At which point I end sticking my nose into it, by adding that being there seeing what is obvious no one else seems to, yet nothing is said you stay silent is something Cliff and I both do enough that we have talked about it, and concluded it was best to stay silent and standby as an obsever in those situations. A bunch going at it at a university seminar is an example with you, me, cliff, or anyone in the situation wondering how nobody is speaking up the answer being argued is so obvious, but stay silent, it means, in the long run it meant you avoided being drawn further into a long running battle between arguements between others who will keep on arguing despite answers you offer in short terms, worse, your answers get bogged up in their further arguing and they now argue about things you said and there is where negative telepathic feedback begins taking it bigger tolls. Cliff and I this month (a few weeks ago) discussed the fact of staying silent at the seeming wrong moments one more time, and have decided that in hindsight those opportunities seemingly lost by staying silence (as an observer) was in the long run the best course taken. The conversation ended a puzzle (especially for Cliff) as to why he had stayed silent when he could have said the obvious. At times,staying silent can be a bit uncomfortable the greatest urge being to stay silent the obvious urge to speak and say something. Jesus has been described as an observer who stayed silent said nothing to the perplexity of well wishers, the act of staying silent makes a great deal of sense when a much larger picture is in view. I am pushing the limits of my arrows in delicately stepping through the above paragraph word by word, the subject is not one I have written about before. It started with me making outside tipoff for you to be aware where there seems perhaps reason to be extra aware of backgrounds in the security motor that don't involve you but could if someone else tries to link you in, or, if you speak up and someone gets entirely the wrong idea of why you spoke. The above paragraph continued describing the act of staying silent and continuing as an observer, it means a greater picture is sustained and expanded by not interjecting more lesser picture contentions that lead nowhere unproductive, in the long term, often, the long term is not apparant until the long term arrives in time. (Boy can I ever detect long thin meanings that are almost nothing in the last sentences, like I say, it feels like stepping delicately on unbroken egg shells I think I am going to backstep quietly after hearing one or two small crunches). greydie/ the silent egg shell dancer. ======================================================================================== THE NEXT 3 EMAILS LEAD TO INSIGHTS BY GREYDON ON WHEN NOT TO BE SILENT (i..e., IF ONE SHOULD NEED TO ASK A FRIEND TO CLEAR CERTAIN STATEMENTS) AND ON WHEN TO STAY SILENT AND JUST OBSERVE: (1) From: To: Subject: Re: reworking a backstep Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2002 00:43:51 -0500 (Eastern Standard Time) Hi Starlight.. I have just being rereading some emails a month ago and saw where a two-word inclusion in the middle of a sentence, completely changed a meaning I was directing your way and past you. Holy smoke you must have thought I had become a self enough to sharply criticize your self but holy smoke, I wasn't Refer back to an email from me dated Nov 30, 2002, 7:47 down near the end past super dooper, to the sentence which reads as follows: 'I know all kinds of people like you who have a soul blessing in some of their expression, and soul worse in others, except in you I see far more blessing and far less worse', Take out the two words 'like you' and the entire perspective rearranges into global talking. Sometimes in quick cluein sessions I had to learn even 30 years ago a global word's meaning got in the way of me personal and it was rough working through what seemed a sting criticism where none existed. Wherever you read this, I am sure you will be amused why I went ooops suddenly shifted foreward the first time I re-read that passage, this time seen what was there in words not what was intended before words got electrically sorted into writing. gredyie/ (2) -------Original Message------- From: Starlight Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 06:04:11 To: greydie@look.com Subject: Re: reworking a backstep That's okay, Greydon. I caught the intention so the misplaced words had no ill effect. Not to worry. (3) -------Original Message------- From: Greydon Moore Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 12:39:27 To: Starlight Subject: Re: reworking a backstep Whew, relieved, wipe brow. It hit me with an unsubtle impact of a sledge hammer made of rubber when first I reread the two words and 'oh no what must Starlight have thought' but in fact spiritual humility (that inner self confidence) does interject correct intents in meaning intuitively and now its my turn for relief at not being cause of someone else's gyration unintended. I think I can relax away from momentary overconcerns. From now on, if there is ANYTHING that hicups or causes a downvibe reaction please ask at once about it that way those impositions we have been speaking of will not have a chance to burst in causing some harm in states of wellbeing and peace of mind. Nothing is shameful about asking, and the answer can (usually does) end the harm start in as little as 1/10th of a second. These are nitty gritties, struggling using words transfering impartments that really do not have words ready made in the language to express them. Ask and ye shall recieve was used all the time as an expression by a handful host of us trying to work together in the midst of bedlam surrounding us during the 70's. It was not until the latter 90's that I began to figure out ways of asking specific to clear up on the instant the occurrance of two meanings clear in what was a single meaning intent said by someone, for instance I would hear a remark, and suddenly ask ' are you talking about me' and hear right back 'no no' we were talking about ....', the '....' a subject from a prior conversation the speakers had had, a simple clearup of a remark I could have interpreted as about me if I had not asked on the spot I used to dread psychic impositions so much in the past it was why I used to stay silent instead of asking at once. So, you'n me, we can ask. Not so much the greater general range of things but anything that causes a sting or alarm, ask so the sting or alarm unintended gets kicked out again, in about 1/10th of a second. Around in a great surround of the mass conciousness are the stings and alarms in others, so much pressure there they can pop into you and me for instance but are from outside in others whose lesser thoughts can cause mistep miss interpretations to suddenly pop in. For intance someone you know and really like is said in a chance remark by someone else to be a rounder, a con artist, and you had never thought this and suddenly you do and it can be a problem until later understanding the remark was made by someone envious or spirtually rebellious in nature so the whole of who remarked about's activities are dumped in a single remark others listen to. It is called character assassination, a single remark can core dump a hearer's whole idea of someone in one big quick turnover. If you showed some of my emails to some you know unquestionably some reading will try and core dump by a single remark or even get arguementative. At the least, suspician would be advised by the other reader(s). This again is where staying silent and just observing, is likely the best course (only you would know when to stay silent, or when to add something back in, that completely rechanges the core dump back to full power regards someone's activities on the planet). Greydie/ ==================================================================================== STARLIGHT'S MUSINGS ON SILENCE: Dear Greydon, I have for most of my life craved times where I am alone and silent & still. Recently I saw someone on PBS speak about the importance of silence. I love silence. People often have to have to have background noise--radio, TV, talk show. The only back- ground noise I prefer is white noise like a fan or air condi- tioner blocking out cars and voices. It's not that I don't love music -- I do. But not all the time. Always I have to reconnect with the silence, with stillness. I think those two are the same. The people I like to be with are those that do not take away the peace of that Silence, and I don't mean that I sit with friends and stare ahead never speaking, but rather that I draw upon the Silence in all I say, even as I am doing now, and that I can only do that when the person on the other side of the table (or the email) has something in them that is receptive. This brings me to the logical deduction that Silence is not simply the absence of sound, as its societal connotation implies, but the Presence of something immense. This Presence cannot be sensed or realized when physical world cacophony is not consciously shut out by the individual. And then it brings me to the philosophical question, 'Who' is Silence? Is it just the more expansive self, or is there others there with me? Silence has a presence that is huge, majestic, but gentle. If I could pick an image that represented this for me, I think it would be [the Horsehead nebula]..., fills me with stillness & silence and awe. I think that silence helps you(plural) to detect all the hidden stream & river voices, true voices running underground in the subconscious. Currents of thought, usually invisible, reveal themselves everywhere in stillness and quiet ~ and the annoying parts of the personality (paranoia, disorders, talking too much, etc.) are disabled. It just dawned on me during a time of silence that space slipstream seems like the physical counterpart to telepathic slipstreams. I sense a telepathic slipstream with you at times, and with less than a handful of others in my life ... These streams exist only when there is no intent of harm or possession or psychic control by either person on either end of the stream. If any of those "lower frequency" or "psychic imposition"(I have to quote your terms -- I wouldn't have them without you) feelings are present, the telepathic slipstream closes up until those frequencies have been worked through. Since being on the road something really nice has happened. I watch little or no TV when I am done with work. I do not want to hear a TV voice after being among so many voices in the daytime. I am more in tune to my own inner voice and the voices, mentioned above, that I really want to hear. Others are fading from my mind - not that I physically 'hear' voices, but often the unwanted voices are more present' when I am in closer physical proximity to certain stressors, such as to a particular person who is an inflictor. Energy in myself now indicates that this, though good news, should be saved for another email. Starlight
