Everybody needs some silence in their lives, whether this is used for having a break from the stresses and strains of life, as time to reflect on events in your life, or to be in communion with God.

Silence isn't just the absence of noise and hustle and bustle, as it has a quality all of its own. It is rich and deep, restorative and beneficial to the most furrowed brow of life's worriers, and those with troubled minds.

It is often very difficult for people to obtain periods of silence because their waking hours are crammed full of various activities, and if an empty slot does appear, they will fill it in with yet more activity; busy, busy, busy. Others will fill the empty spaces with TV, Computer Games, and other material activities in the belief that they are at rest, but in reality they are anything but.

If they do find silence around them they will often treat it like Vanilla Ice-Cream; you know it's just blank and goes with Strawberry Ice-Cream, rather than being enjoyed for all the qualities it has, but which can be so hard to detect when it is judged against the background of the Strawberry variety. In this scenario Silence is Vanilla and Activity is Strawberry.

If you can't achieve some silence in your busy lives and would like to, then why not try the Golden Minute method which you can use for personal reflection, to obtain some peace or more importantly, have a chat with God.

THE GOLDEN MINUTE

Here is how to schedule some quiet moments during your busy day, and it is a method I have used myself and still do when the need arises. The Golden Minute method is described in Monjoronson's own words, extracted from his message: Monjoronson - The Golden Minute - 9th November 2010

We of the Celestial realms desire contact with you as we can draw you close to us and shape your lives and teach you the truth, and even help you overcome great obstacles of the material world. But, you have to want do this, and have to ask us the question; “Please help me; please show me the truth, the light and the unconditional love.” Use your own words; do not use mine unless you want to. Such a request does not need to include “thee’s and thou’s” and you do not have to wear any special clothes, just find a few moments quiet time to make the link with your God.

Ah, I see, your work and home lives don’t have any quiet moments and you are on the go every waking hour, so you can’t make contact even if you wanted to. That’s no excuse, no excuse at all, and I shall prove it to you. Everybody has to use the bathroom, washroom, lavatory, or whatever that cubicle where you sit or squat according to your culture, and do what I shall describe as “your business”. Even if you are only allowed three minutes to be in there before you must return to the desk or workplace, or before another family member wants to use your facilities at home, in the middle of those three minutes is the Golden Minute.

The Golden Minute is sixty whole seconds for you to contact God, if you use it wisely. In the first minute clear your brain of what just went on before you came in the cubicle; and in the last minute switch yourself back to the normal life mode; but that central Golden Minute is your time to talk to God, it’s your minute. Talk to God as you would talk to your best friend, put no special tone upon your words; just be natural as you really are inside. You are a Child of God and as such have every right to speak with Him, just the same as everybody else does; ask him for what ever help you need; talk to Him about your hopes and fears; ask him to reveal to you those secrets about the life in the whole of Creation, which the Dark Ones have hidden from you. In short, talk to Him as your friend, your Father.

In that cubicle are all the tools you need to find your God who will come to you from within. There is a seat to rest on, there is water which cleanses, and there is a degree of privacy depending on the type of cubicle it is. You are there, which is most important, and God is there; I promise you He is. In that Golden Minute just close your eyes and in the peace just say your words and God will hear them, for those of you who need something to focus on, why not picture a candle in your mind, where the flame is bright and peaceful and this will help you focus on your time with God.

Everybody has the right to communion with God, even if they don’t believe it. Are you going to miss this golden opportunity? Try it for some time and see how you get on, you may hear or see results and know what God said to you after a while, but there is great potential there if you will only try and speak with God; may you be successful in you ventures during the Golden Minute.

I AM Monjoronson of the Spiritual Hierarchy, and Christ Michael Aton is with me as I write these words through my dear friend Vince. 9th November 2010

I hope you will find this method useful in finding a few moments peace in a busy day, and if you choose to use them to be in contact with God, then that will be a really special time and very constructive.

Vince.
