Numbers 7:89 · World English Bible
When Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with Yahweh, he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim; and he spoke to him.
He goes in to speak, and the voice comes from the narrow space between the two figures, from the still center above the ark. Not from the sky, not from the crowd he left outside, but from a single point of quiet held between opposites.
From the Ego v. Being reading below.
The same verse, read by one tradition.
EGO & BEING
He goes in to speak, and the voice comes from the narrow space between the two figures, from the still center above the ark. Not from the sky, not from the crowd he left outside, but from a single point of quiet held between opposites. This is where the deeper voice is always heard, in the gap.
You will not find that place while you remain in the congregation of your thoughts. You enter it by growing inward and still, into the small silent space between one thought and the next. When you rest there, in the stillness at the center, you hear what has always been speaking, because the voice was never in the noise but in the quiet you had to enter to receive it.
Ego v. Being lens
What have you been trying to hear over the noise, instead of in the quiet?
The wheel turns on the empty hub, the room is useful because of the space inside. What is not there is what makes it work.
The teaching lives in the pause between two words, not in the words. Stop talking and listen to what the silence has been saying.
In the small space within the heart, quieter than every thought, the real is found. You reach it by going inward, not outward.
