Who are you?
I am the Silence.
Yes, I think I know you or, at least, what you are.
Really? The Greeks called me σιωπή (siopi), the Latins Silentium. I am older then the universe, eternal. I witnessed the creation of worlds, the rise and fall of stars. Are you sure you know me?
Well, silence is the absence of sound, every time I say there is silence I know about your presence, but I can’t really feel you, because no sound is the negation of perception. For me you don’t really exist, only sound is real.
[laugh] So I am not real! Who do you think you are to tell me this? You are just a ripple in the universe, as a physical being. I am because I am. I do not need to be validated, or compared to something else. I am The Silence.
Now I can’t follow you.
Of course you don’t. You are so busy to listen to your chattering little brain, with your thoughts, your ego. You continuously decode infinite series and transform them to impulses to your senses. For example, hearing makes you perceive what you call sound.
Yes, I know that. That’s why when there is no sound, there is nothing. Simple.
This is typical of humans. All of you are like a flock, you follow the sheep in front of you, but you don’t know why and where you are going. You take for granted everything you learnt from what you call culture. That’s why you are blowing your planet. You don’t think, you just memorize and create beliefs, and these beliefs in your subconscious are taken for granted, the only truth.
Well, now I was just talking about sound, why you are going this far?
It’s a question of mind frame. What you call sound is just a range of frequencies you can perceive in your ears, and your brain will decode them. How many frequencies do you think exist?
Well, I have no idea…
There are infinite frequencies. I want to be more precise. There are infinite waves with a particular length, and they vibrate to a frequency. You cannot feel the great part of them, because your senses are limited or, in some cases, not developed enough. When you say you have a feeling, you are just decoding waves with particular frequencies out of your five senses.
I start to understand know. So you mean that everything is made of waves?
More or less, yes. Even what you call objects are interference of waves, they have the probability to exist in that time and in that space, the might not, either. When you observe them, or think about them, they would exist. It’s like you are a fisherman out of the quantum ocean. What you see or think will take form in your world.
Wow! So you mean that nothing is real, or at least immutable, with no change?
Precisely. You always think that whatever happens in your life is something you cannot change, and you label it fate, unluck, and many other disgraceful names. You made everything, and you can change it at will. Your soul is eternal and powerful ahead of your imagination.
Unbelievable! Well, I have to go now. I have to manifest some gadgets I really want, and, yes, a new job, and…
Hold on! Where are you going! You just said I don’t exist, how can you believe me?
Well, I think I start to have faith, to believe in you. You are real, after all. We started this discussion with sound and silence, and now I understand that you are 99.9% of all there is in the universe and beyond. Silence is also stillness, inner silence. When we block all those thoughts afflicting our mind, we meet you, and, as you said, we can decode those hidden frequencies, right?
I see you start to understand, very good.
We can also then chose the reality we want and manifest things, right?
Yes, but don’t run too fast, there is a long way to reach that level.
Now I have faith in you, and I will try my best to improve, whatever the output. What is important is to have a strong will to be a better self, goodness will come.
Exactly, I am glad you learnt the lesson.
Thank you for your help, may I call you Silence then?
Yes, my son, but I want to tell you the truth…you can call me many names, but eventually you will understand who really am I.
Who are you?
Well…I am God.











Wonderful article Elio. I again blogged it. Here is the link:

Elio great article. Even though I tried several times, I was only getting the snippet of what your blog was about. I could not pull up the whole article when it was first published. I understand now. I am glad you emailed me. It was my clue that something was not right.
@ malathy
Thank you for your interest on my articles, I am very grateful!
@Mckay K
Thanks a lot! Sometimes I write posts a bit complicated, but it is not easy to explain these concepts in a few words. I am glad you appreciated it
Very impressive introspection and you are successful to give words to it. Highest experience of spiritual or you may say SELF understanding. Silence is the womb of universe. Silence is God, YOU are God, I am God, Everyone is God. World exists only in thoughts and thoughts come from silence and silence comes from…??

Thank you kathy, beautiful comment. My point is that “silence” or “God” does not have origin, it’s eternal and immutable. Close your eyes and you will feel it, it’s a part of you
Could not agee with you more..
