In self-awareness there is no need for confession, for self-awareness creates the mirror in which all things are reflected without distortion. Every thought and feeling is thrown, as it were, on the screen of awareness to be observed, studied and understood; but this flow of understanding is blocked when there is condemnation or acceptance, judgment or identification. The more the screen is watched and understood—not as a duty or enforced practice, but because pain and sorrow have created the insatiable interest that brings its own discipline—the greater the intensity of awareness, and this in turn brings heightened understanding.

*J. Krishnamurti

Silence, my Source, is you, for you are the perfection of every good. I cannot find the silence of life, which is spiritual life, without silence being an expression of reverent submission to you. Indeed, this silence I long for, arising from spirit and Spirit, is worshipful quiet. And this finding of the fontal quiet and simplicity is a rediscovery of the wellspring of my being, all being, the center, where both you and I, along with all creation, enjoy oneness in astonishing and awe-inspiring mystery. This is holy communion.
