SILENCE

What is the silence? It's the absence of the product of thought that's called the I, the "me". What I want or what I don't want, my plans, my sorrows, frustrations and preferences, pleasures and fears, my knowledge, motives, effort, choices, control or time.

UP (Unitary Perception/ Universal Perception/ Unfocused Perception) is the realization that the Universal energy is all ready in the brain and working. Nothing else is required but this realization. 

At the instant of the realization, which is always "at the beginning" and never "at the end" that can be sought and reached, thought ceases producing the horizontal conflict (the split into the subject - object). 

You (thought) cannot sustain UP, you don't start it or make it constant. There is so little or no UP because there is so much "you". Occupation, work, pleasures and fears, hypnotic movies, TV, radio, music, "meditation", self-help, life coaching. All the false non-functional re-actions of thought, all the noise and chaos, must be dropped.

Just realize that the Universal energy is already in the brain. You don't have to make any effort or choice. It does not require control, effort or purpose. Let everything go, suspend all occupation, and listen in silence and stillness. Only the limited false illusory movement can leave you :) That's what's real is always all ready here. The only problem is the META Process (of thought), which re-acts as a blockage, always  something to "do", a new plan of re-action, effort, choice, control, motive, goal, purpose, time.
