I at first believed that a still mind is absolutely silent and devoid of everything and anything. I eventually came to accept that a silent mind is alert to surroundings. A silent mind is devoid of judging, clinging, rejecting, comparing. The silent mind is free from hatred, anger, jealousy, confusion and conflict. I began to understand in time that stillness of mind refers to inner peace and serenity and that there may be thoughts of love and kindness or other positive thoughts that do not at all detract from the stillness of connectivity. What I want in fact is connectivity. Being devoid of everything and anything is not the point of stillness at all. The point is connection to everything that is loving.

May people still believe that a still mind is devoid of anything and therefore is opening yourself up to to Satan. Silence and stillness are nothing like that at all.
I have no idea where that may arise… What I know is…
Philippians 4:8
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”

“An idle mind is the devil’s playground” is an old English proverb.
Perhaps they may confuse an idle mind with a mind that is at peace… I’ve not run across anyone saying so.
Those that may tend to let their minds wonder about, thinking about whatever it wishes are perhaps the sort of examples that may be thought are silent… they may outwardly be silent but this is because their minds may be in pain and overcome from all of the idle chatter and generally from turmoil that preoccupies them.
Wonderful. Happy Easter!
Powerful song from Hillsong. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of God’s awesomeness. vw
I agree with what you said. Silence brings us to near perfection of thoughts.
