Summary:
"
Silence
is essential for the health and well-being of humans and the environment in which they live. Yet
silence
has almost vanished from our lives and our world. Of all the books that claim to be about
silence
, this is the only one that addresses
silence
directly.
Silence
: A User's Guide is just what the title says: it is a guide to
silence
, which is both a vast interior spaciousness, and the condition of our being in the natural world. This book exposes the processes by which
silence
can transfigure our lives--what Maggie Ross calls ''the work of
silence
''; it describes how lives steeped in
silence
can transfigure other lives unawares. It shows how the work of
silence
was once understood to be the foundation of the teaching of Jesus, and how this teaching was once an intrinsic part of Western Christianity; it describes some of the methods by which the institution suppressed the work of
silence
, and why
religious
institutions are afraid of
silence
. Above all, this book shows that the work of
silence
gives us a way of being in the world that is more than we can ask for or imagine."--From publisher.
