Meaning
This reads as a paradox about stillness, suggesting that silence is not just the absence of noise but something you become able to notice only when the mind settles. It can be taken to mean that meditation sharpens perception in a quiet way. It lands in moments when someone finally stops reacting and begins to hear what had been hidden by mental clutter.

About Stephen Richards
author
Stephen Richards is an author who writes in the self-help genre. His first book, published in 1998, was a true crime title for Mirage Publishing. He has since worked with other writers as well, and his later focus has shifted toward mind, body, and spirit subjects. He is especially associated with books on Cosmic Ordering and mind power. His work moves from true crime into self-help and related spiritual and personal development topics, reflecting that change in focus.
