Silence As Defined by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Silence - it allows the divine Spirit to work upon us Someone who remains silent shows that they are ready to listen and thus to obey. On the other hand, someone who speaks up shows that they want to take the initiative, to lead and to dominate. Silence is therefore characteristic of the feminine principle, which submits to and models itself on the masculine principle. The reason we must learn to re-establish silence within us is so the divine Spirit can work on us. As long as we are rebellious, stubborn and anarchic, the Spirit cannot guide us and we remain weak and miserable. As soon as we manage to be silent, we place ourselves in the hands of the Spirit, which guides us toward the divine world.
