Silence

the contrary it is an inward journey. Mauna is sacred Silence. It is meditation. Accordingly, because of Mauna being sacred silence, a Muni is said to be ecstatic. (Tapa done by a Muni is Mauna). He is said to transcend the human condition. He stands (stasis) outside (ex) his ordinary egoist personality. This self-transcendence takes one to the state of ecstasy, with the psychic conditioning temporarily suspended in utter bliss. Sacred Silence leads to stillness. And that stillness opens the…

The Disenfranchisement & Silence of Women through Male dominance Throughout history even to the present, the representation of women is unequal in a culture based on the patriarchal system that systematically silences women. Men represent the dominant half of society, therefore, maintain control and continue to disproportionately define human experience from only their perspective. Thus meaning that only half of the population’s point of view is being represented and then validated by the very…

Confrontation and Silence My first goal for this semester in the Internship class was to increase my confidence using confrontation and silence in counseling sessions. My initial plans were to utilize a self-rating system and obtain feedback through supervision. These plans did not work out as I had planned because the opportunities to use silence and confrontation were hindered as I saw mostly intakes this semester. I did take the opportunity to use the confrontation and silence when it was…

Silence, A Commentary written by Caibre Stinnissen “Language as an Escape from the Discrete” is a poem written in 1995 by Josephine Jacobson and published in a collection titled “In the Crevice of Time.” Overall this poem has a tone that is of isolation and fear; it expresses the author’s fear of the unknown and uncertainty, but also the author’s deeper fear of being unable to communicate. Jacobson uses analogies, repetition, a strong diction and imagery to convey the importance of language in…

Iole’s silence, like Aphrodite’s, makes her hard to know even as she is manifestly visible. So, for example, while Deianeira sees her and pities her (312–13, 463–64), she fails in her effort to know her. Instead, she hears the speeches of the two messengers (335–489) and her own ruminations (536–53). Thus Iole’s silence both generates the overabundant words of others and, at the same time, protects her from them: the more speech, the more one moves away from Iole herself…

Since I was born hearing, I cannot fully say that I have experienced the harmony of silence holistically. I practice meditations to subdue stress and clear my head. Even then, it is still not possible to eliminate every extraneous noise to reach a state of complete silence, since I…

Kingston mentions the word silent or silence many times throughout the poem, “…waits silently by the water to pull down a substitute” as well as mentions ghosts or spirits, “A child with no descent line would not soften her life but only trail after her, ghostlike, begging her to give it a purpose” (Pages 1576-1577). She made it known that she would not be silenced, and give the dead a memory. Silence is widely mentioned throughout the story, because of the expected silence and secrecy among the…
