Listen closely. Can you hear it?
The modern world is filled with noise. Most workers are overloaded by multiple, simultaneous streams of messages. Social life is experienced via overlapping channels of electronic activity leading to stress and exhaustion. In contrast, meditation practices invariably depend on silence, or at least the quieting of one’s mind and body. Silence is at the heart of such crucial peacemaking practices as deep listening, forgiveness, love and compassion. And yet many men fear lapses into silence and resist meditation as contrived and unnatural.
