Silence  in  Heaven

from

Seven Steps in the Way

Uranda   September 1932

John, the beloved, tells you how to open the seventh seal of spirituality. This you can do when the first six seals have been opened within you. “And when the seventh seal was opened, there was silence in heaven for the space of about half an hour.” The wise will comprehend that silence for half an hour a day will bring about the opening of the seventh seal.

Remember that to find the kingdom of God, or heaven, the dwelling place of the Soul-God, you must turn within yourself, even as your Master instructed. “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”

Thus are you to find a quiet place where you may be undisturbed for half an hour a day—fifteen minutes in the morning and fifteen minutes in the evening. And there relax perfectly, consciously letting go of all muscular and nervous tension. Then shut your door; that is, close your eyes, for the eyes are the doorways to the secret places of your Soul. Then remember that “your Father knoweth what things you have need of, before you ask Him.” Therefore in the silence seek not to talk to God but rather let God talk to you; for this is true prayer.
