Lesson IV: The Voice of the Silence.291
Lesson IV: The Voice of the Silence.
Part II of “Light on the Path” opens with the following statement:
Out of the silence that is peace, a resonant voice shall arise. And this voice will say:
It is not well, thou has reaped, now thou must sow. And, knowing this voice to be the
silence itself, thou wilt obey.
The resonant voice that proceeds from “out of the silence that is peace” is
the voice of Spirit forcing its way into the field of consciousness. The voice is
not as plain as when heard at the moment of illumination, for the ear is filled
with the vibrations of the lower planes, and cannot sense so clearly the high
vibrations proceeding from the upper regions of the mind. But the voice is
insistent, and if listened to will make itself heard. It will not be confused with
the thought-waves with which the ether is filled, for when one thinks of the
spiritual plane he is lifted upward mentally, and the lower vibrations cannot
reach him so plainly. He soon learns to distinguish the clear pure voice of
Spirit from the grosser thought-waves that are beating upon him. The voice
of Spirit always has an “upward” tendency, and its influence is always toward
higher things.
