Home is the immense silent space that is everywhere. What we call inner space and outer space are the very same all-pervasive context--the emptiness in which everything exists. The space in which the planets and galaxies hang, the very space within matter itself, is the same silence in which all mental activity comes and goes. Everything occurs within this great peace which is the context for all movement and manifestation. It is the source from which everything arises, in which is abides and to which it returns. The magnificence of this silence allows for everything--sound, thought and action--to occur within it. Thoughts come and go and the silence is always here, just as the sky is always here no matter what the weather. Sky is the unchanging context for the ever-changing ephemeral weather. Silence is the permanent space in which the weather of thought, sound, action takes place. All mental movements are only apparent modifications of the peace that is always here, undetected by the active mind.
