In a time when technology penetrates our lives in so many ways and materialism exerts such a powerful influence over us, Robert Cardinal Sarah presents a bold book about the strength of silence. The modern world generates so much noise, he says, that seeking moments of silence has become both harder and more necessary than ever before.
Silence is the indispensable doorway to the divine, explains the cardinal in this profound conversation with Nicolas Diat. Within the hushed and hallowed walls of the La Grande Chartreuse, the famous Carthusian monastery in the French Alps, Cardinal Sarah addresses the following questions: Can those who do not know silence ever attain truth, beauty, or love? Do not wisdom, artistic vision, and devotion spring from silence, where the voice of God is heard in the depths of the human heart?
After the international success of God or Nothing, Cardinal Sarah seeks to restore to silence its place of honor and importance. "Silence is more important than any other human work," he says, "for it expresses God. The true revolution comes from silence; it leads us toward God and others so as to place ourselves humbly and generously at their service."

All videos put us in a small trance by using multiple frames per second. That trance parades as stillness but our brain is still on and in that relaxed state I’m more likely to receive instruction/i.e. advertising. I don’t feel more relaxed and still afterwards.
The stillness I seek in TV is a counterfeit of the real stillness which is God. Every one of us has a soul, that divine spark, that recognizes that Stillness. That Stillness and Silence is what my heart truly longs for; it is true, beautiful, and good😊.
Silence is not the lack of noise although sometimes we need it to find Him. Silence is the stillness we seek in the midst of the storms of life. Needless to say it’s a well written book.
I prefer listening to the narration at 0.9x speed. I just process it better that way.
