Divine love and primordial silence: Are they the same thing?

A universal mystery...(and what it might mean for you and me).

Spoiler alert, before we get started: I don’t have any definitive answers to this conundrum, this great mystery of divine love and silence—not sure anyone does. These are just questions I’ve been pondering, based on my own changing relationship with both.

I’ll give you my own background context here, the whys and the what ifs, and you can decide for yourself what it all might mean for you.

Love and Silence.

Seems pretty obvious which is which, doesn’t it? I mean, how could there be any confusion about the inherent nature of divine love, or eternal silence?

Divine love is so unmistakably itself, it can’t possibly be anything else. When Capital L Love envelopes your mind, body and energetic field, you know, beyond all knowing, that this incredible divinity, this infinite love, is who and what you are in truth.

Its presence wraps you up in the gentlest safety. And from within this cocoon of miraculously protective sweetness, all that you gaze upon in the world outside yourself, shimmers with the selfsame divinity that you are. Couldn’t be clearer.

And then there’s silence…real silence, the kind of stillness that runs underneath all sound and movement…well that’s more of a deep velvet mystery. Unmistakably divine, yes; a deliciously soft universe of spacious timelessness and ineffable peace. Beautiful, but no question: It has its own qualities, distinctly different from love.

Or at least, this is how love and silence have always seemed to me. But these days I’m starting to question all of that, and I’ll tell you why.

Recently someone sent me a transcript of an interview with Yolande Duran. I hadn’t heard of her before; maybe you have.

She’s of that rare breed: A busy person with job and family, who’d always had zero interest in spirituality—yet one day 20 years ago, without warning, her inner veil abruptly fell away, and she realized her own true nature.

She describes that true nature as silence.

Everything she spoke of in that interview rang true for me…yet it rang true in [what I would call] love. This silence, as she described it, in fact held many of the qualities of divine love. I decided to investigate further by checking out her website.

On her home page, I was met with an ocean of rich silence.

It enveloped my field, cocooning me in its deep velvet peace. And sure enough, aspects of that silence could also be described, perhaps, as attributes of what I might’ve typically called divine love.

Yolande doesn’t particularly talk about divine love. Perhaps, because she carries no predetermined spiritual concepts about what anything is, she is free to just allow silence to unfold as it is, without needing to name or analyze it.

In any case, I poked around on her website, and was interested to see that the quantity and quality of the silence varied widely from page to page. On those pages where she, or her words, are the primary content…there’s that incredibly rich ocean of sacred velvet. And where she’s joined by interviewers, or other peoples’ video content, the silence is greatly diminished or nonexistent.

This is no critique of Yolande or her collaborators, believe me; I say it only because I was surprised to discover that, somewhere along the way, I myself have become so finely tuned to the frequencies of pure silence, that I found it extremely easy to differentiate the qualities of one page from another. I’m not usually that sensitive.

(I will add that, having since shown this website to others, the obviousness of its palpable silence is not universally apparent to all. The silence is undoubtedly still pouring forth to bless all who visit the site—but not everybody registers the experience of it within their own energetic field.)

Anyway. It’s worth noting that not so long ago, I myself possessed absolutely no affinity for silence whatsoever, and would surely have been among those who felt nothing from her website.

Here’s how that changed for me (and could also undoubtedly change for anybody):

A couple of years ago, I was inspired to start a daily practice of absorbing the new higher frequencies of divine love that are flooding the planet.

Not unlike the silence pouring out from Yolande’s website (which is there whether we can feel it or not), these higher frequencies of divine love are blessing/challenging all of us, all of the time, even if we’re rarely consciously registering that fact within our own minds/bodies/energy fields.

As for me, I don’t just want to be able to register the presence of love in my energetic field. I wish to be the change, which means I want to fully embody these new higher frequencies; I wish to be this sacred transmission of oneness, this pure identity of love itself, on behalf of all beings.

Hence the daily practice of absorbing the new higher frequencies of love. I recognized the need to gradually and persistently acclimate my body/mind/energetic field to these steadily rising frequencies of love (in hopes of a relatively graceful upgrade process), as this body slowly learns how to carry much higher voltages of spiritual light than it’s ever had to do before.

Because between you and me, this here is an oldschool body, and I’m not so sure the latest ‘software upgrades’ would be compatible with it, without a little extra, highly targeted help.

Anyway, to my surprise, the absorption of these newer, higher frequencies of love has never felt anything like the divine love I’ve ever known.

It feels like silence.

Well. More specifically…at first it just felt pleasant, but not like anything I recognized at all. Over time it gradually began to feel more and more like deep, velvety silence.

Never, ever like pure love; only silence.

I’ve wondered about that (and am still wondering) but the silence itself—very delicate at first, but ever-increasing in potency—is so nice in its own right, that I’m happy to soak in it for the 20 minutes or so that I spend each day, absorbing these frequencies of love.

Yet I can’t help but ponder: Does this mean divine love arises out of the primordial silence? Or does the ocean of silence pour forth endlessly from the infinity of divine love?

Or are love and silence actually the same thing, arising together as one?

Or…maybe it’s none of the above? Maybe it’s just that these new higher frequencies of divine love are now a full octave higher than they were previously, and my field simply isn’t equipped to register that octave yet.

In any case, silence itself is the sweet, sacred song my field has learned by heart, over the last couple of years. I didn’t realize just how attuned I’d become to its divine melody, until Yolande’s website showed me.

Anyway, due to all this pondering about the true nature of silence, I’ve recently added a shorter daily practice to the other, longer one: I’m now basking in deep silence itself, for 10 minutes a day. Whatever its true identity turns out to be, I want to hone and amplify further, this intimate knowing of pure divine silence, throughout my mind, body and field.

So. If you’re curious to know more about this practice, of marinating oneself in the frequencies of silence?

I do it by putting myself in the proximity of someone who is able to act like a tuning fork, transmitting a clean signal of pure silence. My own field is then able to recognize that frequency signal (which is part of my own true identity and yours). And over time, that elevated frequency transmission gradually reminds this body/mind/field how to sing its own sacred song.

It’s a powerful way to effect (relatively) rapid change—judging by the difference in my own receptivity to sacred silence a couple of years ago, versus now.

Anyway, the ‘tuning fork’ I’m personally drawn to, is Jacqueline Hobbs, AKA Oracle Girl. She offers an online event where she sits silently, transmitting a steady frequency signal of deep silence. The video is downloadable afterward, and it’s this video that I use for 10 minutes each day.

I’ve pointed the way to two possible ‘tuning forks’ in this newsletter—but if you’d like to give it a go, choosing a ‘fork’ that you personally resonate with, is always the best idea.

What does all of this potentially mean for you?

In these high frequency times, it’s becoming ever more possible to attune ourselves to our own true divine nature…simply through repeated exposure to authentic ‘tuning forks’ who can transmit the right reminder frequencies. And then our own energetic field is able to take it from there. Which is incredibly exciting, don’t you think?

It isn’t a quick transformation (for most of us, anyway. Unless your name happens to be Yolande, of course.) But if my own experience is any indication, these simple practices genuinely do seem to work.

Perhaps when our own body, mind and field have learned enough of the ‘song’? Maybe the complete, abiding shift of identity described by Yolande and others, can finally take place. Allowing each one of us to know ourselves as the silence. Or the love. Or both.

A related side note:

My husband is fond of Dr. David Hawkins’ work, and often uses it to calibrate the frequencies of people, places, ideas and things.

If you’re unfamiliar with it, Hawkins created a logarithmic scale of 1 to 1000. Logarithmic, meaning a single point on the scale is 10 times higher than the one right before it. So the difference between, say, 199 and 200 is vast.

According to this scale, any person/place/thing calibrating below 200 is self-destructive; 500 is unconditional love; and 1000 is christ consciousness.

Out of curiosity, Steve calibrated Yolande after visiting her website. She calibrated above 700, which is extremely high. Jacqueline also calibrates above 700. (Jacqueline, however, would undoubtedly suggest that Steve should throw away the damn scale, and learn to use his own innate divine wisdom instead. But never mind.)

Anyway, speaking of calibrations, here’s an encouraging sidenote—if daily life sometimes makes you doubt the high-frequency world made of love could possibly be real and happening:

For a very long time, according to the Hawkins scale, humanity has collectively knuckle-dragged right around the 200 mark—flirting heavily with self destruction, in other words. But according to Steve’s recent calibration, humanity as a collective is now in the 320 range. And undoubtedly continuing to rise, due to these high-frequency times we’re in.

320 (like 200) is an averaged number, so it must mean a whole lot of regular people are starting to soar up toward the general ballpark of unconditional love. And it’s this growing number of everyday people encountering the great mystery of their own sacred being, which is balancing out all the negativity.

That is a mind bogglingly huge evolutionary leap forward, from where we were even a couple of decades ago.

Miraculous, in fact. Phenomenal. Unprecedented. And you’re very much a part of it, you know?

Whether your field currently registers evidence of the rising frequencies or not, it matters a great deal to all of humanity and to the earth itself, that you’re here for these transitional times. Work in progress, though you may be.

We’re all works in progress, actually. (Unless your name is Yolande, of course.)

Kidding.

Even Yolande is undoubtedly continuing to evolve and deepen into the infinite silence of her being.

There’s really no such thing as ‘getting there,’ and then once attained, sitting on our butts and vegetating. We are all masterworks in progress. You, me and Yolande too.

All of us inherently divine. Each of us a somewhat lumpy gold nugget, continuously polished by our own life’s journey.

A precious gem of infinite value, you are.

I bow to you in love (but more like silence),

Carrie
