PM The Silent Knowing of God Within

PURE MIND

The Silent Knowing of God Within

For the part of me that longs to rest in the stillness of God’s knowing.

1. What Is Pure Mind?

Pure Mind is your natural awareness before thought — untouched, radiant, and whole. It does not come and go; it simply is. When the mind grows quiet, Pure Mind reveals itself as a deep and loving presence — the same stillness Jesus called “the Kingdom within.”

“The mind is luminous, but it is defiled by visiting defilements.” — Buddha
“The Kingdom of God is within you.” — Luke 17:21

Pure Mind is both the witness of all experience and the heart of God within you.

2. Pure Mind and God

Pure Mind is not separate from God. It is the way God knows Himself through you — the silent consciousness in which all life moves. When you rest in awareness without effort, you rest in the very Presence of God. This presence is pure, still, and overflowing with love.

“Be still, and know that I Am.” — Psalm 46:10

3. How to Experience Pure Mind

  1. Morning Practice — Resting as Awareness
  2. Sit quietly and breathe naturally.
    2. Feel your body as part of the whole field of awareness.
    3. Whisper inwardly:“I rest as awareness.”
    “I am awareness itself.”

    4. Let all thoughts, sensations, and feelings come and go within this still field.

Remain for 10–15 minutes. Don’t seek an experience — simply be the one who knows.

  1. Midday Practice — The Loving Gaze

Pause throughout your day and look gently at whatever is before you. Let your eyes soften. Sense that the same awareness that looks through your eyes is the same awareness that sees through all beings.

“Wherever I look, I see God looking back.”

  1. Evening Practice — Returning to Stillness

Before sleep, rest your hand over your heart. Breathe slowly and whisper:

“Thank you, God, for this day.”
“Thank you for the silent knowing of Love that never leaves.”

Let gratitude dissolve the day into peace.

4. Practices That Awaken Pure Mind

  • Mindful Breathing: Feel the breath as a bridge between heaven and earth.
    • Silence and Prayer: Begin prayer not with words, but with presence.
    • Contemplative Journaling: Ask, “What is aware right now?” and let the question open into stillness.
    • Kindness and Service: See each act of compassion as a reflection of the Pure Mind within all.
    • Surrender: Trust that the mind need not be perfect; it only needs to be still enough for Love to shine through.

5. Reflection and Journaling Prompts

  1. When I rest in stillness, what do I notice behind my thoughts?
    2. How does awareness itself feel — does it have a color, a tone, a presence?
    3. In what ways have I already known God through awareness?
    4. What stories or identities am I ready to release into this silence?
    5. How can I bring the qualities of Pure Mind — clarity, compassion, gentleness — into my relationships and daily life?

6. Closing Blessing

May I rest in the clear, luminous stillness of Pure Mind.
May I remember that this knowing is the same as God’s Love within me.
May all beings awaken to the peace of their own Pure Mind.
