What is the "inner Life"? For me it is that Stillness of the
innermost Being, and attuning to the Rhythm of The Silence within -
just BEing in that internal space of Divine Silence - the "Gatekeeper
of the Inner Life" - experiencing "The Silence" that holds all -
until the entire Being feels "nourished" and restored - which
does not mean I don't do anything. There is always "doing" to be
done. But there needs to be some life changes for me, so that I
may return to the Rhythm of the Inner Life. I am fortunate as
a "caregiver" that I'm still able to get a lot of "downtime" -
especially for my health.. But there needs to be some inner life
adjustments to help me access the "Inner Life" again... Like:

The other morning as I lay in bed, waking. Instead of getting up
right away, I started mindfully breathing in Light, bathing the cells
of my body in Light, riding the Rhythm of the Breath; feeling the
Rhythm within again - laying there in silence breathing the Cosmic
Light, listening for the Inner Flow of Energy, and bringing my
awareness there... Accessing the Space of Silence within settles me -
unwinds my mind, and fears, and stresses of the day. It is the
medicine that brings me back into the current of the Inner Life
that abides in and animates this body... Ultimately it's about
remembering who/what I really am at a deeper level, beyond the
surface existence of being human...

Several years ago when I used to spend a lot of time sitting in
The Silence, just listening, and breathing, this came:
The Silence, just listening, and breathing, this came:
"You must come into the eternal Rhythm of "The Quiet..."
You must learn to live in and from"The Silence"
which does not mean
live in silence,
but to live in/as
"The Silence" that is
from the eternal vastness
and depth of
True Silence...

To be "in" versus being "as" something … two little words with profoundly different implications.
