Evolution of Love 2

A SHIFT INTO SILENCE part 2

As I had just turned forty, I said to myself: Wow! It’s wonderful turning forty! I finally feel in tune with myself! I feel so light, so good.

Yes, that’s what I told myself in the beginning. But when I started talking to people around me about it, I noticed that, even though they had turned forty they did not feel like I did – they did not see things the way I did. All my friends were rationalists – materialists even. Like me, they were all busy with daily life. They had never asked themselves metaphysical questions or opened a ‘spiritual’ book, or read about personal development, any more than I had. They knew me as a person who was always on the go: hardly had I arrived somewhere than I already wanted to be somewhere else. And now they saw me laid back, calm, serene. But they did not know anything more about what I was experiencing than I did.

That is when I started wondering about what happens in the invisible world, about what happens inside oneself. I started searching, going into bookstores, looking for books that just might explain a little something of what I was experiencing. As time went on, I stopped trying to understand. The more time went by, the more I let this thing take over, content to observe, discover what was happening, discover everything that kept on coming, ever more intense, more alive, more clear. However in the beginning I wanted to understand.

In 2003, and as a result of a spontaneous awakening, Yolande quits her career and her lifestyle to devote herself to the observation of the silence/presence she speaks of. She currently shares her experience and her point of view in gatherings and retreats all over the world:

"The whole problem arises from the belief that we are this person. Silence is our true source and is natural in every one of us"
